Source Analytics: Know Which Channels Produce Your Best Hires
Source analytics closes the loop between recruiting spend and hiring outcomes. TAL.co tracks every candidate from their originating source — recruiter network, AI sourcing agent, job board, referral, or inbound — through to placement and retention, attributing outcomes to channels accurately.
Bubble size = submission-to-hire rate. Scores derive from real placement outcomes.
Source Analytics Capabilities
Full Source-to-Hire Attribution
Every candidate's originating source is captured at entry and tracked through every stage — submission, interview, offer, acceptance, and retention — so outcomes are attributed accurately.
- Channel types: recruiter marketplace, AI agent, job board, referral, inbound
- Sub-attribution: which specific recruiter, which agent run, which posting
- Retention data extends attribution through 90-day milestone

What Source Analytics Reveals
Source Data as a Strategic Input
Source analytics isn't just retrospective reporting — it informs forward-looking decisions. When AI agent sourcing is outperforming external recruiters on a specific role type, that data supports reallocation of recruiter spend. When a job board channel is producing high submission volume but low interview conversion, it signals a sourcing fit problem that can be corrected.
Over time, source analytics builds an organization-specific picture of the recruiting market for your roles — which channels work, which don't, and why — that no general benchmarking data can replicate.
Questions, answered
How does TAL.co attribute candidates who appear in multiple sources?
First-touch attribution is used by default, capturing the originating source. Multi-touch attribution models are configurable for organizations that want to credit sourcing assists as well.
Can source analytics be filtered by role type, function, or level?
Yes. All source analytics views are filterable by role type, function, level, geography, and time period — enabling targeted analysis rather than org-wide averages.
Is source analytics available to recruiters in the network?
Recruiters see their own source performance data. Company-level cross-channel analytics are visible only to hiring team admins and talent leaders.
