Sara Haugse contributed to the navikt/rekrutteringsbistand-frontend repository by delivering features that improved search relevance, data integrity, and onboarding efficiency for recruiters. She refactored OpenSearch queries to enhance candidate matching, integrated NACE codes for better industry reporting, and implemented ownership workflows to streamline job posting management. Using TypeScript, React, and OpenSearch, Sara focused on robust API development, defensive coding, and frontend data shaping. Her work included automatic data population to reduce manual entry and enhanced error logging for observability. These efforts resulted in more reliable search, improved data consistency, and smoother CI/CD processes, demonstrating strong backend and frontend engineering depth.

Monthly summary for 2025-08 (navikt/rekrutteringsbistand-frontend). Delivered three major features with a focus on improving time-to-value for recruiters and data quality across job postings. Key work included substantial search improvements and backend data integration, along with enabling ownership workflows. Key achievements: - Enhanced and refined job search functionality: OpenSearch-backed refactor to improve relevance and efficiency. Changes included field prioritization, broader text handling, numerical search refinements, and removal of non-indexed fields; introduced smarter aggregation rules and input sanitization. This delivers faster, more accurate candidate matching and reduces noise in results. - NACE code integration with employer selection and job postings: Persisted and transmitted NACE codes when selecting an employer and creating new postings; adjusted backend data object shape and ensured codes are stored as strings to align with backend expectations. Improves industry-level reporting and search filtering. - Take ownership feature for job postings: Implemented dedicated endpoint and UI action to allow users to take ownership of a posting and related candidate lists, enabling smoother handoffs and delegation workflows. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Strengthened search relevance and reliability, reducing time-to-find for recruiters and improving match quality. - Improved data integrity and backend alignment with NACE coding, enabling better analytics and compliance. - Streamlined ownership workflows, reducing manual steps for recruiters and increasing ownership accountability. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - OpenSearch query design and result aggregation; frontend data shaping and input sanitization. - Backend mapping and data modeling for NACE codes; ensuring type consistency (string) and payload compatibility. - API integration for ownership endpoint; UI action orchestration and endpoint calls.

In July 2025, delivered advertisement number (annonsenr) support across the recruitment frontend (navikt/rekrutteringsbistand-frontend). Implemented annonsenr in mocks, DTOs, and UI components to ensure accurate representation of advertisement identifiers and alignment with real data. Performed cleanup by deriving annonsenr from id in mock data generation to reduce duplication and complexity. Updated mocks accordingly and prepared test considerations for the new field. Addressed Playwright test implications and began stabilizing tests to maintain CI reliability. Overall, the work improved data accuracy, mock reliability, and front-end test robustness, enabling smoother QA and faster feature iterations.

June 2025 monthly summary for repo navikt/rekrutteringsbistand-frontend focusing on delivered features, fixes, and impact. The work centers on performance and reliability improvements to the free-text search and onboarding robustness, alongside code hygiene tasks that improve reproducibility. Business value highlights: - Faster, more accurate candidate search experience for end users due to a targeted OpenSearch free-text query refactor. - More robust organization selection logic reducing risk of mis-association when org names contain hyphens. - Smoother CI/CD and build reproducibility from removing stale package-lock.json and stray comments, lowering maintenance overhead. Overall impact: - Enhanced search performance and result quality for long free-text inputs. - Greater reliability in org number resolution and downstream processes. - Improved repository hygiene and reproducible builds, reducing production risk and onboarding friction. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - OpenSearch tuning (simple_query_string usage, avoiding cross_fields for large inputs). - Robust string handling and defensive coding (safe extraction from delimited strings). - Build hygiene and repo maintenance (cleanup for reproducible builds).
