Sources record where an applicant came from — job boards, referrals, agencies, events, and so on. Recruitera includes built-in sources, and you can add your own custom ones. You manage them under Tags & Sources, on the Sources tab. This action requires a role with permission to manage templates & workflows (typically Admins).
Before you start
Required role: a role with the Manage templates & workflows permission (typically Admins)
Where to find it: Settings → Workflow → Tags & Sources → Sources
How to add a source in Recruitera
Open Settings and, in the Workflow group, select Tags & Sources.
Select the Sources tab.
Click + New source.
Enter the Source name and click Add source. It appears in the list with an Origin of Custom.
💡 Built-in sources (like LinkedIn and Referral) show an Origin of "Built in" and can't be edited or deleted — only your Custom sources can.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a built-in and a custom source?
Built-in sources ship with Recruitera and can't be changed or removed. Custom sources are ones you add yourself, and you can edit or delete those at any time.
Where are sources used?
A source can be set on a candidate to record where they came from, which lets you report on which channels bring in your applicants.
