Sub-Source Tracking for Job Postings
Generate separate trackable links for every channel you post a job on to monitor the source of your applicants
4 min read
- Add sub-sources to any job posting source to generate a unique trackable link per region, campus, or channel.
- Each sub-source link is independent so you can see exactly which location or platform each applicant came from.
- Sub-sources are optional and can be added to any source without affecting how the job posting works.
- Paste sub-source links directly into job boards, client portals, or outreach campaigns and know exactly which source delivered each candidate.
Track Every Source, Down to the Region
When publishing a job in Skima AI, recruiters can now add sub-sources to any posting source. Each sub-source generates its own unique trackable link so you know not just which platform an applicant came from, but which specific region, job board, or candidate channel brought them in. Sub-sources are optional and can be added to any source without affecting how the job posting works.
- Go to 'Jobs' from the left sidebar
- Click the three-dots action menu on any job and select 'Create Public Page'
- Navigate to the 'Sources' tab
- Below any source card, click 'Add sub-source' and enter the sub-source name
- Add as many sub-sources as needed and click 'Save Sources'
- Click 'Publish Posting' to make the job live
- On the confirmation screen, copy the unique trackable link generated for each source and sub-source
One Job, Many Trackable Entry Points
Every sub-source you add generates a unique URL tied to that specific source and sub-source combination. When a candidate applies through that link, Skima AI tags their application with the exact origin so you can see which channel, region, or job board produced each applicant without any manual tagging or UTM configuration.
Sub-sources sit nested under their parent source. So if for example LinkedIn is your source and you are running the same Software Engineer role across New York, London, and Toronto, each city gets its own link while still being grouped under LinkedIn for reporting. When your client asks where the shortlist came from, you have the answer without digging through spreadsheets.
Attribution That Holds Up
Staffing agencies post the same role across multiple job boards, regional networks, and client portals simultaneously. Without trackable links, sourcing credit gets lost and you cannot tell which channel is actually delivering. Sub-source tracking gives your team clean attribution data per channel and per region, so you know where to invest next time and have something concrete to show clients when they ask.
