SUMMARY

The applicant profile provides a summary of the applicant information and displays the requisitions to which the applicant has applied. From Manage Candidates, click on the applicant’s name to view their profile.

Note: You will only be able to see requisitions within your MBU, so if the applicant has applied to a requisition outside of your MBU, you will not see it in the Applied for section of the applicant profile.

Whichever requisition is selected (underlined) will have information displayed below.

Applicant Tabs

Summary: The summary tab provides an application summary such as current status, attachments like Resume/ CV, application, application source and more.

Statuses: The statuses tab breaks down when the application entered each status and who the reviewers are.

Application: The application tab provides the applicant’s response to pre-screening and compliance questions as well as their CV/Resume, previous experience and education information. Note: hiring managers do not have access to compliance question responses.

Comments: All comments are visible here.

Documents: The documents tab houses the documents applicants have provided; this is also where the hiring team can add documents to the applicant’s record. The interview notes and hiring justification can be added to the requisition’s General tab as attachments for easy access by HR. This process is covered under Managing Candidates below.

History: The history tab provides a timeline of when the status on the application was changed and when documents were attached. It also lists the user who attached the documents or made the status change.

Email: The email tab allows HR users to send an email to the applicant from the Talent@VCU system.

Adding Documents to an Applicant's Record

If you have documents, such as interview notes, please add those on the requisition itself, not the candidate’s profile. To navigate to the candidate profile, just click on the candidate’s name from the hiring dashboard, for hiring managers, and from the manage candidates screen, for HR users. Other documents that pertain only to one candidate can be uploaded to their profile.

While on the Applicant Profile, select the requisition that the documents pertain to and click on the Documents tab. You will see a list of the applicant’s documents and a section below where you can upload a document. You can add up to 10 documents. If you accidentally add an attachment, please contact John McCann (jmccann@vcu.edu) or James Dye ( dyejm@vcu.edu) to remove it for you.
