Candidate and Application Sources

Keep a record of where your candidates are coming from, whether via an application for a role or entered manually into the system with candidate and application sources.

Candidate and Application Sources - What is the Difference?

Candidate sources are added with the candidate's details when manually adding them to the candidate pool and make a note of where the candidate originates from, e.g. a referral, LinkedIn, etc.

A list of sources to select from can be created in the Settings area.

Application sources are attached to a candidate automatically if they apply for a role and display from which channel the candidate applied for the role, e.g. the careers page, Premium channel, etc.

These sources appear in the candidate profile once the candidate has been assigned to a job to allow your team to keep track of what candidate and application sources are working for you.

The Candidate Sources section provides an area to create a list of places applications from candidates are sourced. Follow the steps below to find out how to create and use a list of candidate sources.

Adding Candidate Sources 

• Open Settings from the main menu and select Company, followed by Candidate Sources.
• Click +Add Source to begin creating your list.

• Multiple candidate sources can be added simultaneously using the +Add another button.
• If the source is an agency, click the Is Agency tick box.
• Once you're happy with your list, click Save.

• Edit and delete candidate sources using the pencil and bin icons.
• The code underneath agency candidate sources can be used by agencies to upload candidates into a job. See the full process here.

Using Candidate Sources 

• Candidate sources are used when manually uploading candidates and are displayed in the candidate profile once the candidate is assigned to a job.

• Candidates can be added directly to the candidate pool and not assigned to a job by clicking the Add Candidates button at the top of the Candidates section.

Note: The candidate source will not appear until the candidate is assigned to a job.

• To add a candidate directly to a job, click the Add Candidates button within a job.
