Step 4: Add the Boon Custom Candidate Source to SmartRecruiters:

To correctly Attribute the source for candidates coming from Boon, you need to create a custom source for Boon with the type OTHER (Do that in SmartRecruiters here⁠) If a different type was used then you need to communicate that with Boon’s team during the integration.

The Source type can be changed later on when the integration is live.
