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.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the jobs.wordpress.net listing flow, including the example job and its Apply link, and consider how email applications could identify the referral. Define one consistent way to record referrals for both email and form-based applications, then verify that the resulting data can show which applications came from jobs.wordpress.net.
