[$50] Job status must not be updated to Candidates available for review when candidates are in pre screen statuses

[SathyaJayabal]

Due to requirements for the Gig Work Shapeup, we create candidates on the TaaS BE as soon as they apply. The candidate status is applied. There are a few more pre screen stages(skills-test, phone-screen) the candidates go though, before their status is set to open. There are also cases when the candidate is rejected before they pass screening (rejected-pre-screen).

Expected behaviour: The candidates must be visible to the customer only when they pass initial screening and their status is updated to open. Therefore the job status of the job must not be updated to Candidates Available for Review, while the candidates are in the pre screening stages.

Actual Behaviour: The job status is updated to Candidates Available for Review as soon as candidates apply. So the Review Candidates Button is visible to the customer ever though there are no candidates that they can review (as they are all in pre screening)

@LieutenantRoger I can not understand very well,
currently, it show the preview button and because BE return in-review, but I can not change backend issue

when I go to job detail page, the candidate status is placed

so what can I do? I can not change the job in-review status, can you give me some suggestions?

@LieutenantRoger @yoution , this is a backend fix, I am transferring this issue to the taas-api repo

cc @sushilshinde @nkumar-topcoder @maxceem
Initial Flow:
Job status was updated to "in-review" as soon as a candidate was created.

Must update the flow to:
Job status must be updated to "in-review" when:
Candidate created with candidate status "open" or
Candidate status is updated to "open"

@SathyaJayabal @LieutenantRoger I think this may be related/similar to the topcoder-archive/topcoder-platform-taas-app#244, which has prior discussions. You may want to take a look. Fixing the flow will probably address it as well

@cagdas001 , regarding 224, we will still need to display the candidates available for review button when candidates are present in even one of the 4 tabs (review, interview, selected and declined). This button is the only way customer can see the candidates in declined/selected tabs.

@yoution I will release you for the time being.

But @yoution and @cagdas001 please let me know if you are interested in fixing this backend issue.
