Manage Sources for an Existing Requisition

  • Manual Sources
  • Integrated Sources

In addition, a section will display for: Social (Media sites).

By accessing Sources in a current Requisition, they can be , while the job opening can be pushed to Manual Sources and Social Media sites, as described in this article.

Add, Edit, or Delete a Source

Although Sources are ideally finalized when the Requisition is created, they can be added, edited, or deleted in an existing one. Keep in mind three may be lag time involved for a live posting, as the external job board aggregates the change.

Cross-reference: Follow the same instructions as outlined at: Select Sources to Post Job.

Post to Manual and Social Media Sources

Manual— Because a link will be copied from the software and transferred to the external job board, begin by reviewing the job board's instructions for building/posting a job announcement. Then, return to balanceTRAK:

  1. Locate the Source on the Manual Sources table, and navigate to the Link column.
  2. (PC) Right-click and hold your mouse OR (Mac) Control-click on the Link icon, to display the Job Posting's balanceTRAK address. Copy the link, according to the provided menu.
  3. Return to the external site, and paste the link to the external Source, according to the job board's instructions.
  4. Once the job opening is posted, the connection can be tested from BALANCEbTRAK (or the page, previewed) by single-clicking on the Source's Link icon.

Social — Choose the icon for one of the following sites:

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • LinkedIn

Track Sources

Once one or more Sources have been added to the Manual Sources table or the Integrated Sources table, the table view will remain expanded. Navigate to the following columns to review key tracking information:

  • Cost — (Optionally, Edit the entry, and updated the current Cost, as necessary.)
  • Link — Click the Link icon to view the associated Web page.
  • In Use — If at least one Job Seeker has applied through the Source, the item will display a Check mark.
  • Posted (Integrated Sources) — For each Source displaying a Check mark in the Posted column, the Job Posting is live.
  • (Number of Job Seekers) — See which Sources are most effective by viewing this column.
