As part of any update process you may also want to email the applicants. The technique for a group email is similar to a group update.

• Select the Applicant status you wish to email.
• Click the Group Email button.

Exceptions to a Group Email

Applicants will not be emailed if:

• They have already been sent an email for this assignment status.

If you have previously declined one group of applicants, you don’t have to worry about the same applicants receiving a second decline notification when you decline the next group

• If you have indicated that an applicant should not receive any group emails.

If you manually associate some applicants to a job, you don’t need to worry about them receiving decline notifications when they are not aware that they have been assigned.
