These types are shown on a candidate's details screen: 

1. Go to People > Hiring > Applicant Tracking. 

2. Click a job title, and then select a candidate. Their details screen appears. 

Passive Candidate Types

Passive Candidates are people who aren't actively looking for a new job.

Recruiting Target: These are candidates you are actively looking for. For example, if you find a good candidate on LinkedIn and want to see if they're interested in a job, you can add them manually as a Recruiting Target and list LinkedIn as the source.

Confidential Resume: Sometimes, candidates can upload an anonymous resume on specific job boards so their current employer doesn't know they're looking for a new job. Their contact information is hidden, so recruiters must use a special Contact Candidate button to reach them (similar to Craigslist's anonymized emails). If the candidate responds, the recruiter can then get their contact information. 

• The Confidential Resume type does not hide the candidate in Recruiting in any way.

Employee Lead: These are potential candidates who were identified by a fellow employee. For example, An old contact of mine is on the job market and I think he'd be a good fit for the new role you're hiring for! Here's his information.

Other: Passive candidates who do not fit in any of the above types.

Job Seeker Candidate Types

Job Seekers are people who are actively searching for a new job.

Resume Bank: A candidate found in a resume repository, such as a college resume bank for new graduates.

Site Applicant: A candidate who applies organically on your company website. If a candidate applies without using a tracking link of any kind, the system automatically sets the Candidate Type to Site Applicant.

Internal Referral: A candidate who was referred by another colleague. Generally, you pair this with the Candidate Source or Referrer of the referring colleague.

Gravity Referral: A candidate who applied via a Gravity link. When a candidate applies with a Gravity link, the system automatically sets the Candidate Type to Gravity Referral, using the Candidate Source or Referrer field to display the name of the referring Gravity user. 

Posting Response: A candidate who responds to a job board posting, such as on Indeed.com. When candidates apply through an integrated job board partner or via a Tracking Link with a Source or Referrer, such as Craigslist, the system automatically sets the Candidate Type to Posting Response. 

Agency Resume: A candidate who was provided through a recruiting agency. Generally, you want to pair this with a Source or Referrer of the outsourced agency or recruiter, or you can use our Agency Manager feature.

Other: Job Seeker candidates who do not fit into any of the above types.
