How do I create group-specific messages in Talent Community?

You may have a wide variety of use cases for your Talent Community groups, therefore, you can create different types of message templates for each group. 

Please note that the group-specific messages are used only when you invite candidates

• from “Talent Community” page (as a mass action),
• to join via “Join our Talent Community link” (learn more here), 
• with a “Referral link” (learn more here), 
• or when you add candidates or laid off employees to Talent Community from an Excel spreadsheet (learn more here).

If you invite rejected candidates to Talent Community from the “Application” page, the default system-wide Talent Community message will be sent to the candidate. 

Before you start editing group-specific Talent Community messages, please make sure that you have checked all the settings and default messages in “Company settings” >  “Talent Community”. If you haven’t, this guide will help you to do that. 

Creating group-specific messages

After the default settings and messages are revised, you can go into group-specific messages. First, go to “Talent Community” view and click “Manage groups”.

Choose the group you want to edit and scroll down to “Custom messages for this group”. 

Choose the status you want to edit and modify the content. The preview on the right side of the page changes as you do edits. 

Here, as usual, you can use placeholders to make the message more personal. Please keep in mind that placeholders are case-sensitive and should always be all caps. Save your changes and you are ready to start inviting new candidates to this group.
