Assessment invites (/invites/...)

Candidate journeys usually begin outside the standard dashboard chrome.

Operational reality:

Happy path behaviours

Landing page previews assessment metadata pulled from invite entitlement.

Individuals either:

Path	Explanation
Assessment-specific signup mode (Sign Up pane)	Gathers onboarding fields while tagging invite lineage so Skilladder recognises correct programme context. Always push nervous candidates through this—not generic signup.
Existing account sign-in shortcut (Sign In hyperlink)	Should redirect returning talent back toward intended assessment handshake after credential challenge.

Failure modes recruiters escalate

Symptom	Likely root cause
“Invite invalid/expired/disabled” banners	Employer revoked assessment, SLA timer elapsed, staging data cleaned—validate with admins before engineering tickets.
Session email mismatch toast	Participant authenticated under personal Gmail differing from recruiter-targeted mailbox—coach sign-out/sign-in choreography.

If engineering suspects logic regression collect: invite ID (redacted), UTC timestamp window, screenshot of message string.
