Wellfound¶

Account profile¶

A new account lands on an onboarding at /jobs/onboarding/<step>: Profile (extended_profile), Preferences, Culture and Resume/CV, each saved through its own GraphQL mutation (SubmitExtendedProfile, SubmitPreferences, SubmitCultureQuestions). atsfill does not walk it: every field that lets Apply open is also on the tabs of /profile/edit, which load for any account. With only those tabs saved, Apply opened the dialog while the onboarding stayed unfinished and candidateOnboarding.requiredSteps kept listing all four steps.

atsfill profile wellfound (ADR 0017) reads and saves two profile steps. The fixture page is tests/pages/wellfound/profile.html.

• about: /profile/edit, the Profile tab.
• preferences: /profile/edit/preferences, the Preferences tab.

Most controls save as they change; the bio, the social links and a work experience save on their own form's Save, shown once a field changes. So a fill saves, field by field, and the core's read-back comes after: the page is reloaded and the values read from its Apollo state (__NEXT_DATA__, props.pageProps.apolloState.data, the Candidate:<id> object and what it refers to). save has nothing left to do. A mismatch stops the run with what was filled saved, and an answer that already matches the saved value is not touched.

• Most mutations answer the Candidate, many with missingRequiredFields (LOOKING_FOR, PRIMARY_ROLE, PRIMARY_LOCATION, REQUIRE_SPONSORSHIP, US_AUTHORIZED, CANDIDATE_STATE).
• SaveCandidateState answers 200 and keeps nothing while another required field is missing, and a state of null is shown as "Your job profile is visible to startups". The status is filled last, after the about step, and read back.
• The job search status is "Ready to interview", "Open to offers" or "Closed to offers", the last hiding the profile from startups (invisible); an account closed to offers can still apply. Which one is the user's answer, never atsfill's. The dialog notes "Your job status will change": a send is expected to change it.
• A profile save the page refuses itself (a link that is no URL) posts nothing and names no error: refused: step_refused: <field>: the page saved nothing. GraphQL errors are refused: step_refused: <field>: <errors>.
• A complete profile can get a dialog over the page, "We want to feature you to recruiters!": Start my application enrols the account, "Skip for now — I'm not ready yet" posts DismissFeatured and it stays gone. It covers the controls, and it opens whatever OptInModalAutoLauncher answers. profile declines it where it shows, a declared side effect; it was seen on 1 of 4 Test accounts.
• A company or a skill is searched and taken only under its exact name (a suggestion's other line is its site or followers), answer_not_taken otherwise. The search also lists near names, and showed no way to add an unknown company. It finds nothing for "React.js" and lists it for "React", so a whole name is searched first, then its first word.
• Editing a saved work experience cannot change its company: refused: step_refused: about: work_company.

A react-select is searched by typing and taken with Enter: its input has no box to click once it holds a value. Left as they are: the name, the photo, other job types, the salary, the locations, education, achievements, the identity questions, and the Culture and Resume tabs.

Apply on a profile that lacks these goes to /profile/edit?job_listing_id=<id>, and a job that requires skills or work experience the profile lacks lists them and disables Send: both end blocked: profile_incomplete, naming the profile command.

Reading and filling¶

Apply posts the GraphQL read JobApplicationModal ({jobListingId}), whose jobListing the dialog renders, and records a CreateInteraction of kind APPLY_ATTEMPT on the job: a dry run is visible to the system as an attempt. atsfill reads the fields from that answer:

• currentUserApplied: the account applied, already_sent.
• offsiteListingUrl: Apply opens another site, external_step (none seen).
• currentUserQualificationReport.errors disable the dialog and Send: MISSING_SKILLS and MISSING_WORK_EXPERIENCE are blocked: profile_incomplete; the others (LOCATION_MISMATCH, LOCATION_SPECIFICITY, NEEDS_TO_RELOCATE, NEEDS_WORK_AUTHORIZATION) are the employer's rules, not_qualified (3 of 13). warnings (INCORRECT_ROLE, NEEDS_MORE_EXPERIENCE) only show "Improve your odds".
• aiAssessmentRequired: an AI interview follows the send, the known gap ai_assessment (none seen).
• applicationQuestionSets: question sets rendered after the questions, the known gap question_sets (none seen).
• questions, each with id, kind, question, required and options (id, option); managedByAts marks the questions of a posting Wellfound imports from another system (source: ATS, 2 of 13), which asked contact links and yes/no questions, most required.

Field ids: question_<id>, and note for the note. The dialog is the form holding [data-test="JobApplicationModal--SubmitButton"]; each question is a labelled block titled by its question, a required one's title ending in *. Renderings, from the page's question component and seen live:

• Platform postings asked one optional question, "What interests you about working for this company?" (10 of 13).
• Without questions, the dialog shows a note in their place, textarea[name=userNote] ("Cover Letter", placeholder "Write a note to ."), required when candidateNoteRequired; it is hidden for an imported posting that does not require it. The page keeps the note's draft in the browser's local storage, which a fresh context does not have.
• Nothing is sent while the dialog is filled. The read-back is its inputs.

Known gaps¶

Submitting¶

Send application posts the GraphQL mutation CreateJobApplication ({input}), answered jobListing {id currentUserApplied}: currentUserApplied on the job is the evidence; without it, unknown. GraphQL errors are blocked: answer_refused. The page sends every GraphQL request through a wrapper that, on a response Cloudflare marks cf-mitigated: challenge, shows Turnstile ("One more step before you proceed...") and reloads the page once solved: blocked: captcha.

No send has been observed.
