How To Track Candidate Sources

Once your career page is ready to go, you’re going to want to know where your candidates are coming from. By adding a simple tag to the end of the page URL, you can track application sources to see how candidates are finding your job posts. Here’s how it works.

1. Take the career page URL that you defined in Career Page Settings. For example: https://YOURCOMPANY.jobs.flair.hr/. If you want to track candidates for a specific job posting, then take the URL for the job posting you want to track. This will be the same URL with an ID after the final slash.
2. Add ?origin= to the end of the URL.
3. Now type in the name of the source where you are planning to share the link. For example, if you want to share your career page on LinkedIn, add ?origin=linkedin to the end of the URL.

Please note that the name of your source is case-sensitive. To ensure your tracking is reliable, be consistent with spelling, spacing, and case.

4. Now when someone applies for a job using this link, you will be able to track the application’s origin. Open the flair Recruiting app on Salesforce and search Career Portal Applications in the App Launcher. When you click on a candidate, you will see a field called Career Page Origin that lets you know where the candidate applied from.

5. You can use this field to create reports, helping you better monitor which of your recruitment channels are yielding the most applicants.
