User Context: * Role: Candidate
Description: On the Candidate dashboard, the "Message [Recruiter Name]" button (specifically "Message Melissa" in the recording) does not initiate a message thread. Clicking the button redirects the user to the general Communications Hub, which displays "0 CONVERSATIONS" and provides no direct way to send a message to the recruiter.
Steps to Reproduce:
Log in as a Candidate (e.g., Floyd).
On the main Dashboard, locate the "My Recruiter" section on the left.
Click the blue "Message Melissa" button.
Observe the page redirection.
Expected Result:
Clicking the button should open a direct message thread with Melissa Simmons or trigger a "New Message" modal with her name pre-populated in the recipient field.
Actual Result:
The user is redirected to the /portal/messages page, which is empty, with no conversation history and no option to start a message to the recruiter.
Technical Notes:
The button appears to be a hardcoded link to the general messages route (/portal/messages) rather than a route that includes a recipient ID or a trigger to create a new conversation.
The "Communications Hub" does not seem to recognize the intent to message the specific recruiter listed on the previous page.
