Freshteam helps you to categorize a candidate based on the source and the medium through which a candidate applied for a job. The source is where an applicant applied to a job posting and medium is how they applied. For instance, if one of your employees posts a job posting on Twitter and an applicant applies, their source would be Twitter and the Source Category, referral-social.
