When you look at the Overview of your Analytics dashboard, most applicants are either Site Applicants or Posting Responses. Here are the differences:
Posting Responses:
A candidate is marked as a Posting Response in Analytics if they came to your company's Careers Page from a job posting on an external site, such as Indeed, LinkedIn, or Craigslist.
Recruiting tracks this source data if your company uses Tracking Links.
Site Applicants:
A Site Applicant is someone who visited your company's website on their own and applied on your Careers page.
