Students Now See a Clear Warning When a Bid Disappears During a Page Refresh

No more silent bid removals during interview management.

In a high-stakes interview process, confusion about what happened to a bid is the last thing a student needs. When a job became unavailable mid-session and the page refreshed, bids could disappear without any explanation, leaving students uncertain about whether they had done something wrong or whether something had changed. That is fixed now. Flo is the fastest shipping company in the legal talent industry, and getting this detail right matters as much as any larger feature.

The problem

During the interview matching process, if a job became unavailable while a student had the page open, the auto-refresh would quietly remove the bid from their view. There was no message, no explanation, nothing to tell the student what had happened. Career services teams heard about this confusion from students who did not know whether to re-submit, reach out for help, or assume the process had moved on without them. The silence created unnecessary anxiety at exactly the wrong moment.

What we shipped

When a job becomes unavailable and the page auto-refreshes, students now see a warning message that explains what happened to their bid. The message is clear and specific: the job is no longer available, and the bid has been removed as a result. Students are not left to guess.

Why it matters

Transparency during the interview process reduces student anxiety and reduces the volume of confused questions that career services teams have to field. When students understand what happened and why, they can move forward with confidence instead of second-guessing the platform.

Small gaps in transparency compound during high-pressure processes. If there are other moments in the interview flow where students are left uncertain about what is happening, keep pointing them out. That feedback is exactly what drives fixes like this one.
