• Key Concepts: 
  Application source is a term used in SAP's PA-ER E-Recruiting module. It is a way to categorize applicants based on where they come from, such as job boards, career sites, or referrals. This helps recruiters to track the effectiveness of their recruitment efforts and identify the best sources for new hires. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use application source in SAP's PA-ER E-Recruiting module, recruiters must first create a list of sources that they want to track. This can be done by entering the source name and any associated information into the system. Once the list is created, recruiters can assign each applicant to one of the sources when they enter their information into the system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a list of application sources, it is important to be as specific as possible. For example, instead of just listing “job board” as a source, recruiters should list each individual job board that they are using. This will help them to track which sources are most effective for their recruitment efforts.
