Create referral links for a job

Learn how to create custom tracking links for a job in Recruitera to see where your applicants come from.

Custom links are named, shareable links to a job that track how many people view and apply through each one — so you can see which channels bring in candidates. They live on the job's pipeline. Editing a job needs the manage-jobs permission.

Before you start

  • Required role: a role with the Manage jobs permission

  • Where to find it: Jobs → open a published job's pipeline → Custom links

How to create a custom link

  1. Open the job's pipeline — click the job's title on the Jobs list (drafts open the editor instead, since they have no pipeline yet).

  2. Go to the Custom links tab.

  3. Click + Add custom link, give it a recognizable name (for example, the channel or campaign), and set its source tag.

  4. Use Copy link to share it. Each link shows its Views and Referrals so you can compare channels.

The Custom links tab

💡 Use a separate link per channel (careers page, a specific job board, a referral drive) to see which one performs best.

Frequently asked questions

Where did the referral links move to?

They're now on the job's pipeline under the Custom links tab (previously "Referral"), not in the job editor.

What's the difference between custom links and social share links?

Social share links (on the job editor's Social Sharing tab) are per-platform links with a source tag; custom links (on the pipeline) are named links you create and track individually by views and referrals.
