Consider adjusting referral source for contractor & intern conversions

Marissa Farris requested to merge contractor-conversions-11-28 into main

Why is this change being made?

Ultimately, I'd like us to align on what the real "source" is of a contractor and and intern when they're hired on full time.

In order to track contractor conversions, the contractor's source in Greenhouse would be "contractor conversion". In the case that someone was referred originally as a contractor, and then are converted, their source is currently listed as "referral" for the team member to receive their bonus. This is creating inconsistent tracking and confusion for People Connect, who needs a clear way to identify contractors for IT and onboarding.

While my focus here in contractors, I'd like to consider whether the same policy would apply for intern conversions.

CHANGEME - add the details saying why, not just what.
