Example of Custom Candidate Sources

In the example below, an administrator creates a candidate source named LinkedIn. She configures it to be available to recruiters but not candidates, and not to require additional information:

LinkedIn candidate source that's available to recruiters but not candidates.

When recruiters open the Candidate Source drop-down list in the New Candidate control, the LinkedIn source is displayed. When they select the LinkedIn source, an Additional Information field isn’t displayed next to it:

New Candidate control with no Additional Information field.

Lastly, when candidates select a source from the drop-down list in the job application, the LinkedIn source isn’t displayed:

Source drop-down list with no LinkedIn source option.
