Summary:

ZeroChaos already has a web-based application that is used for the hiring and management of a contingent workforce.  We have implemented a new ‘Candidate Comparison’ page that will allow Client Managers and Program Administrator to compare details of candidates in order to select the best one.  

In a previous development challenge we integrated the html prototype for  ‘Candidate Comparison’ page (developed in prior challenges) and a client provided Service for mock data access

In this challenge we want to fix some UI issues and improve code quality as per client feedback

This has to be developed using Dot.Net Framework 4.5+, MVC 5, jQuery 1.11, Bootstrap 2.3.2

**The quality of code is of utmost importance and the submissions will be scored on code quality and functionality

**This contest is time critical

**Source code, Development standards and Html prototype will be provided in forums

High Level Goals:

1. Fix UI

2. Fix functional issues

3. Refactor code

4. Improve code quality

Details:

UI changes:

1. Availability should be a read only text box.

2. Add Candidate Location in candidate details

3. Update the action Menu to look like this (Icons will be provided in forum)
