We need to figure out the best way for generating and storing a session token. We also want to figure out how we can hash passwords securely.

We should have a page where people can go to after signing in or first coming to the site.

Need to be able to navigate between components like login/registration or the input forms.

When users sign in they will send an API request to our backend. We will identify the user, and provide them with a session token for persisting their identity.

  • Manager Maggie is concerned because the last 3 candidates she extended an offer to take a job at a competing firm. She is familiar with the firm and believes her team's offer is stronger in the long run. However, the other company has a large signing bonus, which after asking a few employees, is what convinced them to join the other company. She wants to be able to show that they have stronger growth and are better in the long run.
• User Flow
  Manager Maggie can upload documents or communicate with candidates after HR has extended an offer directly through the portal, answering potential questions or providing additional insight. She can also upload potential growth metrics regarding expected compensation/titles in x years, in order to show candidates what their future at the company could look like.

We will need a DB table for storing a user's session ID(s)? and authentication information.

Input the data inside of an offer letter

To remind me that we need proper error handling eventually, I've added assert statements in lieu of proper error handling and messaging the client. We should eventually replace these asserts with proper handling.
