Changelog

Candidate source

You can now add a 'source' url parameter to links when sharing a job post to track where candidates are sourced from. Any candidate who applied from that link will have an additional source value visible in their profile. Additionally, when you export all candidates for a job, source will be included.

For example, https://jobs.polymer.co/aperturelabs/15394?source=linkedin would record 'linkedin' as being the candidate source.
