Recruitment error fixing

This fixes a few minor bugs in the new pull from today and some discovered during my testing of the form with various inputs. Also cleans up some unnecessary code.
Do we have a top-level custom class that represents this?  It seems like this is the default bootstrap layout and we should be using our own class instead of the bootstrap one directly in the HTML.  Not a big deal either way since I have a hard time actually seeing us move away from bootstrap, but figured I'd bring it up given the discussion we had about building up re-usable components over time and only using bootstrap directly for one off styling.
