Add User Edit and Profile pages to Quicktabs
I create my quicktabs programmatically most of the tines exactly to avoid this kind of problems and expedients.

You need to choose 'callback' for both tabs, and use 'user/x' for profile and 'user/x/edit' for the form.

What x is?

the user uid, but since you need it to change based on the current user, you need to take it from the path the tabs will be displayed on.

assuming the path is

"mysite/candidate/{user uid}/dashboard"


replace x with %2 (or %3).

you don't have the uid in your path?

then create the quicktab programmatically :)
