Talent@VCU gives requisition owners the ability to select multiple applicants and send an email. Navigate to Manage Candidates and click the box to the left of the name of each user you want to email.

Click under the more dropdown and select Send Email

2. After selecting Send Email from the manage candidate screen, you can now select from the dropdown the 2 preloaded templates:

On hold/Canceled
Not Selected as a candidate

If you want to request any new templates to be created, you can do so through the ticketing system and HR will review the needs of the email. The email templates are shared across the system and HR cannot limit them to specific units.

3. View Tags will give you the list of tags that are supported with this functionality. Tags will pull data from the applicant profile or the requisition and allow you to personalize the emails. Tags have to be inserted exactly as they are listed. If you delete or edit the capitalized upper case text, then it may cause the system to not pull in that information.

For example, if you want to start an email with the applicant’s first and last name, you would utilize tags as follows:

Dear PROFILE.USER.NAME.FIRST PROFILE.USER.NAME.LAST,

Thank you for applying for JOB.TITLE.

View tags will give you the list of tags that are supported with this functionality. Tags will pull data from the applicant profile or the requisition and allow you to personalize the emails. Tags have to be inserted using the exact way they are listed.

If you want to start off the email with the applicants first and last name:

Dear PROFILE.USER.NAME.FIRST PROFILE.USER.NAME.LAST,

Thank you for applying for JOB.TITLE.

This will send an email to the applicants email address listed on their profile. The system will user the email of the initiator as the from line in the email. If the candidate responds to the email, then it will be sent to the initiator’s VCU gmail account, and the history of those emails are not contained in Talent@VCU.

If you are emailing multiple candidates at once, each candidate will receive the email privately and will not be able to view other recipients.
