Sep 1, 2025In Sep 2025, delivered a targeted Notifications Migration for das-recruit by introducing an outer API path for ApplicationSubmittedEvent behind a feature flag. This change routes events to the outer API to improve processing efficiency, updates the event payload for accurate data transmission, and reorders handler steps to boost reliability while preserving compatibility with existing flows. The work included removing unnecessary feature conditionality where appropriate and strengthening test coverage to sustain release quality. No major user-facing bugs were reported this month; instead, the focus was on reliability and scalability of the event-driven flow, with a smooth rollout via a feature flag.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 performance summary for SkillsFundingAgency/das-recruit: Delivered a major UX enhancement by implementing grouped and collapsible location lists for Employers and Providers. The feature includes city/address grouping, a details/summary UI, default-open behavior when selections exist, and accessibility improvements (legend elements). The implementation also supports scalable details-list formatting for large data sets (e.g., single city with more than ten locations). In parallel, fixed a critical form submission bug ensuring the 'To the best of my knowledge, all information I’ve provided is correct' checkbox is correctly associated with the form, with corresponding test updates. Overall, these changes improve data accuracy, reduce user errors, and enhance accessibility and efficiency, delivering clear business value through better location selection UX and reliable form handling.
