Talent hub job links ending in certain characters lead to a 404 | Page not found error

When on a talent hub creator’s page, clicking a link to one of their job listings can sometimes result in a 404 | Page not found error. This only happens if the job listing/link ends in a period or slash.

Expected Behavior:
The link should direct a user to the job listing.

Actual Behavior:
The link directs a user to a 404 | Page not found error, preventing the user from viewing the job listing.

Workaround:
Remove the period or slash from the end of the link, although most users will not know that this is the cause and therefore will not attempt this.

Repro:
Either:

  • Go to the page of any talent hub creator who has a open job listing ending in a period or slash
  • Click the link to the job listing

Or:

  • Go to the page of any talent hub creator who has an open job listing
  • Click the link to the job listing
  • Add a period or slash to the end of the URL you are taken to and press enter

In either case, a 404 | Page not found error will be shown.

Issue Area:
Talent hub

Impact:
Moderate.
Users on a creator’s profile trying to go to a job link ending in a period or slash will not be able to view it and therefore will not be able to apply for the job. Therefore, creators may have potential applicants turned away.

Consistency:
100%
