1. Summary

Phase 7 introduces a two-part feature to help Champions navigate careers:

Component	Description	Accessibility
Career Resource Hub	Curated landing page with OCPD partnership resources, external links, and career-related events	Public — No login required
Jobs & Internships Board	Champion-powered job listings where verified alumni post opportunities and connect with job seekers	Logged-in Champions — Requires verified account

Why This Phase Exists

Champions frequently ask: “Is there a Bruin job network?” Currently, there’s no centralized place for:

• Alumni to discover career resources available to them
• Champions to share job openings at their companies
• Job-seeking alumni to find opportunities within the Belmont network

This phase creates that home — with the Career Resource Hub serving as the public entry point and the Job Board providing the alumni-to-alumni network value.

Priority Order

1. Alumni using career resources — The Hub exposes valuable existing resources that alumni don’t know about
2. Alumni helping alumni find jobs/internships — Champions post opportunities, job seekers discover them
3. Employers posting roles — Champions post for their companies (authenticated, not anonymous employer accounts)

---

2. Goals & Non-Goals

2.1 Goals

#	Goal	Success Indicator
G1	Surface OCPD partnership and career resources to alumni	500+ unique Hub views in first 90 days
G2	Enable Champions to post jobs at their companies	50+ job postings in first 6 months
G3	Help job-seeking Champions discover opportunities	200+ job views in first 6 months
G4	Promote “Bruins helping Bruins” network effect	30%+ of job applications mention Champion referral
G5	Integrate career events into existing events system	Career events discoverable via standard events flow
G6	Maintain community safety via moderation	<5% of postings flagged, 100% resolved within 48 hours

2.2 Non-Goals

#	Non-Goal	Rationale
N1	Built-in application tracking (ATS)	Complexity; links to external ATS preferred
N2	Employer/company accounts (separate from Champions)	Champions post on behalf of employers; keeps identity within network
N3	Resume database or profile matching	Out of scope for MVP; potential future feature
N4	Salary data or negotiation tools	External resources (Glassdoor, etc.) handle this well
N5	Integration with external job boards (Indeed, LinkedIn)	Focus on Bruin network value, not aggregation
N6	Paid job postings or premium tiers	All postings free in MVP

---

3. Terminology

Term	Definition
Career Resource Hub	Public landing page at /careers with OCPD resources, links, and career events
Job Board	Authenticated section at /careers/jobs where Champions post and browse opportunities
Job Posting	A single opportunity listing (job, internship, etc.) created by a Champion
Poster	The Champion who created a job posting
OCPD	Office of Career and Professional Development (Belmont partner)
Career Event	An event tagged with career_event: true in the existing events system
Experience Level	Entry, Mid-Level, Senior, Executive, Intern
Employment Type	Full-time, Part-time, Contract, Internship, Volunteer
Remote Designation	On-site, Hybrid, Remote, Flexible

4. User Stories / JTBD

4.1 Champions (Job Seekers)

Job JS1: Find Opportunities Through My Network

When I’m looking for a new job, I want to browse opportunities posted by fellow Bruins, so I can leverage my Belmont network and get referred.

Acceptance: Job seeker can filter by industry, location, experience level; see poster’s Champion profile; apply with referral context.

Job JS2: Discover Career Resources

When I need career guidance, I want to find resources available to alumni, so I can get professional support without searching multiple sites.

Acceptance: Career Resource Hub shows OCPD appointment booking, resume help, and external resources clearly.

Job JS3: Set Up Job Alerts

When I’m passively job searching, I want to receive notifications for relevant postings, so I can stay informed without checking daily.

Acceptance: Job seeker can save search criteria and receive email notifications when matching jobs are posted.

4.2 Champions (Job Posters)

Job JP1: Post Jobs at My Company

When my company is hiring, I want to share the opportunity with the Bruin network, so I can help fellow alumni find roles and get quality referrals.

Acceptance: Poster can create listing with title, company, location, description, application link; posting is visible to all verified Champions.

Job JP2: Manage My Job Listings

When a position is filled or expired, I want to close or edit my listing, so I can keep the board accurate and relevant.

Acceptance: Poster can edit, close, or delete their own postings; closed postings removed from public board.

Job JP3: See Who’s Interested

When Champions view my posting, I want to understand interest level, so I can gauge reach and follow up if appropriate.

Acceptance: Poster sees view count on their listings (anonymized, no individual viewer names).

4.3 Engagement Team (Administrators)

Job ET1: Moderate Inappropriate Content

When a job posting is flagged or inappropriate, I want to review and take action quickly, so I can maintain a professional, safe environment.

Acceptance: Staff can hide, edit, or delete postings; flagged postings appear in moderation queue; moderation actions are logged.

Job ET2: Feature Quality Opportunities

When a Champion shares an exceptional opportunity, I want to highlight it, so I can encourage engagement and showcase network value.

Acceptance: Staff can “feature” a posting to pin it to the top of the job board.

Job ET3: Track Career Feature Usage

When reporting on Champion Portal value, I want to see career feature metrics, so I can demonstrate ROI and identify improvements.

Acceptance: Admin dashboard shows Hub views, job views, postings created, applications initiated, and conversion rates.

4.4 Alignment with Existing JTBD

Existing Job	Phase 7 Connection
C1: Find My Tribe	Career resources help Champions find professional communities
C7: Give Back Without Hassle	Posting jobs is a simple way to help fellow Bruins
E4: Reduce Repetitive Work	Self-service job posting eliminates manual coordination

├── Job Listings Grid/List
├── Sidebar: Saved Searches, My Postings

├── "Posted by a Champion in the Bruin network"
├── [View Full Details] → Sign-in gate → redirects to full job page
├── [Learn About Alumni Champions] → Hub or landing page

5.2 Paywall Strategy

Section	Access Level	Rationale
Career Resource Hub	Public	Maximum exposure for OCPD partnership; attracts potential Champions
Browse Job Listings	Logged-in Champions	Verified network maintains value
View Job Preview (Shareable)	Public	Enables Champions to share job links externally; funnel into portal
View Job Details	Logged-in Champions	Full details require membership
Post a Job	Verified Champions	Ensures quality and accountability
Flag / Save / Apply	Verified Champions	Authenticated actions only

Public Teaser: The Hub shows job board exists with “Log in to browse X opportunities from your Bruin network” CTA. Encourages signup without gating resource content.

Shareable Preview Strategy: Individual job postings have a public preview URL (/careers/jobs/:id/preview) that Champions can share via social media, email, or messaging. The preview shows limited information (title, company, location, truncated description) but withholds application details and full description. This serves as a funnel into the portal — recipients see a compelling job but must sign in or sign up to apply. The preview page includes clear CTAs for both login and Champion signup.

7.2 Decision: Company Name Storage

Options:

Option	Pros	Cons
A) Text field only	Simple, flexible, no normalization overhead	Duplicates (“Capitol Records” vs “Capitol Records Nashville”), no company pages
B) Normalized cp_companies table	Clean data, company pages, analytics by employer	Complexity, orphan records, maintenance burden

Decision: Option A (Text Field)

For MVP, use a simple text field for company_name. Reasons:

1. Champions posting for small businesses may not have standardized names
2. Avoids complexity of company verification/claiming
3. Future enhancement can normalize retroactively with fuzzy matching
4. Most value comes from the posting itself, not company aggregation

Future consideration: If we see significant duplicate employers, introduce optional cp_companies with autocomplete suggestions. Poster’s profile already contains employer and job_title for credibility context.

10.3 Job Posting Content Guidelines

Display in the “Post a Job” form:

Posting Guidelines

✅ Do:

• Post legitimate opportunities at real companies
• Include clear job requirements and responsibilities
• Provide a direct application link or contact email
• Keep descriptions professional and accurate

❌ Don’t:

• Post multi-level marketing or commission-only sales roles without disclosure
• Include discriminatory requirements
• Misrepresent the position, company, or compensation
• Post duplicate listings for the same role

Postings that violate these guidelines may be removed.

10.4 Expiration & Cleanup

Scenario	Behavior
Posting reaches expiration date	Status → closed, removed from listings
Poster manually closes	Status → closed, removed from listings
Poster deletes	Status → deleted, soft deleted
Staff deletes	Status → deleted, soft deleted

Scheduled Job: JobPostingCleanupJob runs daily at 2am:

1. Close expired postings (expires_at < Date.current)
2. Notify posters 7 days before expiration
3. Hard delete deleted postings older than 90 days

---

11. Analytics & Instrumentation

11.1 Activity Events

Add to Cp::ActivityEvent::EVENT_TYPES:

Event	Trigger	Metadata
career_hub_view	Visit /careers	{ source: referrer }
job_board_view	Visit /careers/jobs	{ filters: applied_filters }
job_view	View job detail	{ job_posting_id: id }
job_posted	Create new posting	{ job_posting_id: id, industry: industry }
job_edited	Edit posting	{ job_posting_id: id }
job_closed	Close posting	{ job_posting_id: id, reason: manual/expired }
job_saved	Save a job	{ job_posting_id: id }
job_apply_click	Click Apply button	{ job_posting_id: id }
job_search_saved	Save a search	{ filters: filters }
job_flagged	Flag a posting	{ job_posting_id: id, reason: reason }

11.2 Dashboard Metrics

Add “Career” section to Staff admin dashboard:

Metric	Calculation
Hub Views (period)	Count of career_hub_view events
Job Board Views (period)	Count of job_board_view events
Active Postings	Count where status = active AND not expired
New Postings (period)	Count created in period
Apply Clicks (period)	Count of job_apply_click events
Conversion Rate	Apply clicks / Job views
Flags Pending	Count where flag status = pending

11.3 Poster Analytics

Each poster sees on their postings:

Metric	Description
Views	Total view count
Saves	How many Champions saved this job
Apply Clicks	How many clicked the Apply button
Days Active	Days since posting
Days Remaining	Days until expiration

---

12. Edge Cases

12.1 Poster Scenarios

Scenario	Behavior
Poster loses Champion status (unverified)	Their postings remain visible; cannot create new
Poster deletes account	Postings remain with “Posted by [Former Champion]”
Poster blocked by viewer	Posting still visible (blocking affects messaging, not jobs)
Poster’s profile incomplete	Posting shows available info; encourage profile completion

12.2 Content Scenarios

Scenario	Behavior
Duplicate posting (same title/company)	Allow; user responsibility (warn in UI)
Posting with invalid URL	Validation prevents; show helpful error
Posting with no salary info	Allowed; salary not a required field
Very long description	Truncate at 10,000 chars; show error if exceeded
Expired posting viewed via direct link	Show “This posting has expired” with search link

12.3 Search & Alert Scenarios

Scenario	Behavior
Saved search with no matches	No alert sent; show “No new matches” if checked manually
New posting matches 50+ saved searches	Queue alerts to prevent email blast
Champion deletes account with saved searches	Cascade delete searches
Saved search with invalid filters (data migration)	Skip alert; log for review

12.4 URL Sharing & Redirect Scenarios

Scenario	Behavior
Unauthenticated user visits /careers/jobs/:id	Redirect to /careers/jobs/:id/preview (not sign-in wall)
Authenticated Champion visits /careers/jobs/:id/preview	Redirect to /careers/jobs/:id (full view)
Shared preview link for deleted posting	Show “This opportunity is no longer available” with Hub link
Shared preview link for hidden posting	Show “This opportunity is no longer available” with Hub link
Shared preview link for expired posting	Show “This posting has expired” with search link

Rationale: Champions will inevitably copy their browser URL (/careers/jobs/:id) and share it via email, social media, or messaging. Rather than showing non-members a sign-in wall (poor UX), we gracefully redirect them to the public preview page. This preserves the funnel strategy while handling real-world sharing behavior.

12.5 Moderation Scenarios

Scenario	Behavior
Posting flagged while poster is editing	Flag still applies; poster notified after save
Staff deletes flagged posting	Flags marked as resolved; poster notified
Poster appeals hidden posting	Email to Engagement Team; manual review
Same posting flagged and featured	Featured status overrides; staff sees conflict in queue

16. Backlog / Future

Features explicitly deferred from Phase 7 MVP:

16.1 Deferred to Future Phase

Feature	Description	Reason for Deferral
Company pages	Normalized cp_companies table with aggregate postings	Adds complexity; text field sufficient for MVP
Salary information	Optional salary range on postings	Sensitive data; external tools (Glassdoor) handle well
Application tracking	Built-in ATS to track applications	Major feature; external ATS preferred
Resume upload	Champions upload resumes for matching	Separate feature (Mentorship Center?)
Employer accounts	Non-Champion employers can post	Champions-only maintains network value
Job categories	Hierarchical job categories beyond industry	Flat industry list sufficient for MVP
Map view	Geographic visualization of jobs	Nice-to-have; list/filter is primary
Mobile app deep links	Open job in native app	Native app not yet built

16.2 Potential Enhancements (Post-Launch)

Based on user feedback after launch:

Enhancement	Trigger
Duplicate detection	If users complain about spam postings
Company autocomplete	If text field creates data quality issues
Referral tracking	If “Bruin network” value proposition needs measurement
Skills matching	If job seekers want profile-based recommendations
Interview prep resources	If OCPD requests deeper integration

16.3 OCPD Partnership Expansion

Potential deeper integration with OCPD:

Integration	Description
Event sync	Auto-import OCPD events to Career Events section
Appointment booking	Embed Calendly directly instead of linking
Resource updates	OCPD admin can update Hub content without code changes
Analytics sharing	Share Career Hub metrics with OCPD team
