If your team sponsors jobs through third-party agencies, then users will have the ability to mark a job as sponsor within the Paradox system, letting the agency know that they want to sponsor it when it is sent to them.

A Sponsor Job Custom Job Attribute supports the sending of sponsorship details to recruiting agencies. This node is automatically added to the Standard Job Feed, and once configured accurately, the necessary jobs will be listed in the feed as wanting to be sponsored.
