[TP]: Redirecting companies that are not logged to the jobseeker's page

astkhikatredi opened this issue · 3 comments

Context/background

We would like to improve the companies' user experience by giving them the possibility to get into the jobseeker's profile page even if they are not yet logged in (details are below).

Now the process is the following:

  1. Jobseeker shares the link to their profile
  2. Companies (if not yet logged in) click on the link they'll be sent to the login form.
  3. Companies log in and they see the page they always see right after login. They are not forwarded to the page they were supposed to go to (to Jobseeker's profile)

What needs to be done?

We need to change the logic of step 3 to the following:
Companies log in, and upon successful login, they will seamlessly transition to the jobseeker's profile at the initial link they clicked.

Thank you

Hey @ericbolikowski, we presented this ticket today at All Stars, and Kate had a good catch.

What will happen if the person intended to click the link, but it's not available anymore, perhaps the job posting is deleted? The team suggested forwarding the user to the landing page and displaying a text message. The text could be the following:
"We're sorry, but the link you are trying to access is no longer available or may have been moved. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact our support team. Thank you for your understanding."

What do you think?

@astkhikatredi, recap from yesterday's call about this:

Nice feature - let's make a ticket out of it. It doesn't require a lot of effort to put in place.

We should consider implementing such "couldn't find thing" error messages for multiple things: CON profiles, TP jobseeker profiles, TP company profiles and TP job listings. Once we put it in place for one of them it's quite quick to take care of the rest.

@astkhikatredi btw this is deployed now - you can close this ticket if you want
