Integrated Recruiting without data islands
The recruiting module provides all functionality and best practices needed in your future applicant management system - from position planning and approval process, vacancy creation based on templates with input from the responsible departments and simple publication to various job portals.
Using the built-in talent search, you can search both your talent pool of applicants and your employees for suitable candidates. In case an applicant applies for multiple vacancies in an organization, a duplicate detection filters the newly created record application and merges it to the existing applicant to enable HR managers to keep a clear overview over the of applications and applicants at any time.
The integrated applicant tracking system (ATS) supports you throughout the entire applicant life cycle. From receipt of the application through rating, evaluation and interview phase to hiring or rejection. The skill-based evaluation system and optional CV parsing via Textkernel enables you to see, at a glance, how suitable an applicant is for the position in question.
Direct integration with Microsoft Word enables you to create offers based on your templates - optionally with a digital signature via DocuSign or AdobeSign. All applicant data is transferred directly to the new employee's digital personnel file.
Benefit from numerous integrated best practice processes that have proven to be successful.

GDPR support in daily life
through Microsoft Outlook
The GDPR data protection regulations require the complete deletion of personal data of rejected applicants.
When HR managers send CVs and cover letters by email, it is a great effort to delete all data records containing the personal data of each rejected applicant individually.
The integration of HR Management for Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Microsoft Outlook enables HR employees to send emails with links to Dynamics 365 records instead of actual files. Thereby, GDPR compliance is automatically ensured.

Applicants enter their data directly in the portal. All data and attachments are transferred to your recruiting software in a structured and automated way. You don't have to enter any data manually or multiple times and see all necessary information at a glance.
Optionally, you can ask applicants to rate their skills. This offers an initial overview and enables you to compare the data directly with the required knowledge. This function is, of course, freely configurable.
The Recruiting Portal also offers an optional online assessment which helps you learn more about your applicants. Freely configurable questionnaires are filled out directly by the applicant and the results are transferred in a structured way to the internal digital personnel file.
