Update Candidate Source

Note: There can only be one source per job application, and all job applications must have at least one source. As such, the add and delete buttons aren't available for the Candidate Source section.

To update candidate source:

1. Go to Recruiting and open the job application profile for a candidate.
2. Go to the Candidate Info tab. It's under Application in the Classic Recruiter Experience.
3. Next to Candidate Source, click Edit.
4. Pick a source from the Source drop-down list. The standard options are listed below. There might be others depending on the configuration.

5. Standard candidate sources

   Source	Description
   Educational Institution	These standard sources are always shown in the drop-down list.
   Other
   Recruiter
   Job Board	This is a standard source; however, it is only displayed if the candidate was assigned to the requisition by a recruiter. It isn’t displayed if the candidate applied for the job themselves.
   One of the following sources: Client Careers Site Careers A job board name, such as "CareerBuilder"	Note the following: One of these sources is always displayed if a candidate applies for a job themselves. However, none are displayed if a recruiter assigns the candidate to a requisition. In this case, the Job Board source is displayed instead. One of these sources is displayed, even if the candidate selected a different source in their job application. For example, the candidate applies from the external board CareerBuilder, but changes their source to Educational Institution in their job application. In this case, the CareerBuilder source is still displayed in the drop-down list, in addition to the Education Institution source. In this way, the drop-down list always displays the actual source of candidates, even if they select a different source in the job application.
   Employee Referral	This is a standard source; however, it is only displayed if the candidate selected this source in the job application. Moreover, if you change this source to something else, you will no longer see it the next time you open the Edit Candidate Source control.
   Custom Sources	The Source drop-down list also includes custom sources created by administrators.

5. Enter a value in the Additional Information field, if needed. This field is required depending on the source you choose.
