Advanced Search, Filtering, and Enhanced Job Cards for "My Jobs" Section

[ntuan2502]

Problem statement

Currently, the "My Jobs" interface lacks robust management tools. As the number of job postings increases, recruiters face several issues:

1. Since Location is currently a manual text input, it is difficult to group jobs by region without a dedicated search function.
2. There is no way to filter jobs by specific criteria like Experience Level or Work Arrangement.
3. Job cards provide limited information, requiring recruiters to click into each job to see full details.
4. There is no visual warning if a "Blacklisted" or "High Potential" candidate has applied to a specific job until the recruiter opens the application list.

Proposed solution

I propose the following enhancements for the "My Jobs" dashboard:

1. Unified Search Bar:

   • Add a search input that allows searching across multiple text fields: Job Title, Job Description, and Location (since location is currently manual text entry).

2. Specific Filters:

   • Add a filter dropdown for structured data:
     • Employment Type (Full-time, Part-time, etc.).
     • Work Arrangement (Remote, Hybrid, On-site).
     • Experience Level (Intern, Junior, Senior, etc.).

3. Enhanced Job Metadata (Badges):

   • Display more detail on the job summary cards. In addition to Title and Location, include badges for Experience Level and Work Arrangement for better scannability.

4. Candidate Categorization Visibility:

   • If a marked candidate applies, show a small visual indicator (e.g., a colored dot or icon) next to the "New" or "Screening" count on the job card to alert the recruiter immediately.

Alternatives considered

• Manual browser search (Ctrl+F): Only works for visible text and isn't effective for large lists or specific metadata.

Scope and impact

• Who benefits: Hiring teams managing multiple roles across different locations and requirements.
• Success measures:
  • Recruiters can find jobs in specific cities/regions instantly via the search bar.
  • Improved decision-making by seeing candidate "red flags" or "gold stars" directly on the job overview.
  • Reduced time spent navigating between job details and the main list.

Checklist

• I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
• This request aligns with Reqcore's ownership/transparency/privacy direction.

Great write-up! Most of this is implemented in #167 . Here is a full breakdown.

✅ Already done:

1. Unified Search Bar — fully implemented. The search input in the My Jobs header searches across Job Title, Location, and Job Description client-side in real time.

2. Specific Filters (filter drawer) — all three requested filter types are implemented:

   • Employment Type (Full-time, Part-time, Contract, Internship)
   • Work Arrangement / Remote Status (Remote, Hybrid, On-site)
   • Experience Level (Junior, Mid, Senior, Lead)
   • Status (Open, Draft, Closed, Archived) is also included as a bonus

3. 'Needs Your Attention' section — the gallery view already groups jobs with unreviewed (
   ew) applicants at the top in a dedicated amber-highlighted section, with a per-card attention bar showing the exact count of new applications.

⚠️ Small gap — needs a follow-up:

• Experience Level and Work Arrangement badges on the job cards — these fields are stored in the DB, filterable, and shown in list/table views, but they are not yet rendered as visible inline badges on the gallery cards. Adding them is a straightforward UI change.

❌ Blocked by #163:

• Candidate categorization indicators on job cards — showing a warning dot/icon when a Blacklisted or High Potential candidate has applied first requires the candidate labeling system described in Candidate Categorization and Visual Highlighting (Potential, Blacklist, etc.) #163 to be built. Once that is in place, surfacing those indicators on job cards is a natural follow-on.

So in practice, the main open work items here are: (a) adding the two missing badges to gallery cards, and (b) the candidate indicator dot which depends on #163.
