Employer Accounts (Sponsors + Public Job Posters)

Jobs can be posted by:

• Sponsors (posting included as part of a sponsorship tier benefit)
• Public job posters (non-sponsors who create an employer account, pay, and submit a job)

Public job poster flow:

1. Employer signs up (company + primary contact)
2. Chooses a job posting product (standard/featured)
3. Pays via Stripe
4. Submits job for approval
5. Once approved, job is published until it expires

Acceptance Criteria

Frontend

• Public employer signup exists (no sponsor account required).
• Checkout exists for paid job posting products.

Backend / API

• Employer accounts can be created and linked to submitted jobs.
• Payment status is recorded against the job posting.

Permissions

• Only ROLE_CLIENT_ADMIN can approve/reject jobs.

Business Rules

• A job cannot be published until payment is successful (for paid products).
• Sponsors bypass payment when their tier includes job postings.

Error Handling

• Failed payments do not create published jobs.
