Questions
Recruitly uses multiple methods to track sources comprehensively. For digital channels, the system captures UTM parameters, referrer information, and form submission data. For offline sources, structured source fields and custom tracking codes ensure proper attribution. Recruitly also supports manual source assignment and modification when needed. Additionally, our Chrome extension and email integrations automatically capture source context when adding contacts from these channels.
Yes, Recruitly's source management supports full-journey tracking with both first-touch and multi-touch attribution models. The system records initial awareness sources, engagement touchpoints, conversion channels, and all subsequent interactions through to placement and beyond. This provides a complete view of the acquisition journey and properly credits all channels that contributed to successful outcomes, rather than just the final conversion point.
Recruitly tracks comprehensive performance metrics for each source, including volume metrics (number of candidates/clients acquired), quality indicators (profile completeness, skill match), conversion rates (application to interview, interview to placement), efficiency measures (time-to-fill, cost-per-hire), and business outcomes (placement value, client revenue). These metrics can be analyzed across different time periods, job types, and other dimensions.
Recruitly offers highly granular digital source tracking through comprehensive UTM parameter capture. The system records campaign, source, medium, content, and term parameters, allowing you to track performance down to specific ads, keywords, content pieces, or message variations. This granularity helps you identify not just which channels work best, but precisely which messages, creative approaches, and targeting parameters drive the strongest results.
