Create Custom Candidate Sources

As a main feature of the Candidate Source Configuration feature, administrators can create an unlimited number of custom candidate sources.

To create a candidate source:

1. Go to Recruiting Setup > Candidate Source Configuration.
2. Click New.
3. Click the Short Name column and enter a name.
4. This is the name that users will see in the source drop-down list.
4. (Optional) Click the Description column and enter a description to add some contextual information about the source.
5. The description won't be displayed outside of the Candidate Source Configuration feature (recruiters or candidates won't see them).
6. As an example, you can add the description Indeed Job Board to a source named Indeed. This way you and other administrators know that Indeed is a job board.
5. Set the Is External Candidate Selectable, Is Recruiter Selectable, and Requires Additional Explanation options to Yes or No by clicking the field, and then selecting or clearing the displayed checkbox.
6. Each of these options does the following:
   • Is External Candidate Selectable: Defines if the source will be displayed in the source drop-down list of the job application.
   • Is Recruiter Selectable: Defines if the source will be displayed in the source drop-down list of the following recruiter-facing areas:
     • The Assign Candidates dialog box.
     • The Personal Information section of the New Candidate dialog box in Talent Community.
     • The Candidate Source dialog box in candidate profiles.
   • Requires Additional Explanation: Defines if the field for adding information is displayed when users select the source from the drop-down list.
6. Click Save.
