Feature request: add a way to show referrals from jobs.wordpress.net #581
Description
As part of encouraging folks to post their jobs on https://jobs.wordpress.net/, we should add a way to track that the referral came from jobs.wordpress.net to help show the value of posting there. For applications via email, it could be as simple as subject field indicating it's coming from jobs.wordpress.net. For jobs where it links to a form, like this job, we could add ?ref=jobs.wordpress.net to the Apply link perhaps.
Either way, let's figure out a better way where we can try to track when folks are referred from this site to give folks hiring data around the impact of listing their jobs here and, ideally, encourage them to share more.

My thinking is
utmref fields for urls, unless they've already added one to the URL, most Analytics platforms understand those AFAIK.For email, I think we can provide a default email subject/body in most clients, most people will modify it, but maybe the hint will make them include the URL?
