Recovering an Applicant User Name and Password in TAM

Overview

Talent Aquisition Management uses a website, referred to as Candidate Gateway, to post job openings for which external applicants can apply. External applicants must register for a Candidate Gateway account in order to apply for jobs or access certain other features. Candidate Gateway accounts are part of the recruiting system; they are not PeopleSoft user IDs. (External applicants access the PeopleSoft system using a generic guest ID that bypasses the PeopleSoft signon page).

Process Considerations:

  • Applicants are able to attempt a User Name and/or Password recovery on their own in Candidate Gateway
    • Applicant should attempt this before requesting a password reset by UWSS Service Operations
  • User Name Recovery and Password Reset emails are known to go to an email Spam or Junk folder
    •  This scenario is covered in the procedure steps below

Not Receiving Recovery/Reset Emails

  • User Name and Password recovery/reset emails from sender: DoNotReply_UWRecruiting@uwsa.edu
Example: User Name Recovery Email

Example: Password Reset Email
Picture 11
  • These recovery/reset emails are known to be delivered to Spam or Junk folders.
  • Sometimes these emails are completely blocked from delivery; all email services should have the ability to change security settings to add "Safe Senders" so the email service doesn't block them.
  • How to add "Safe Senders" can vary by email service provider. See KB 31866 for additional information.
