Recruiting in Microsoft Dynamics 365

Recruiting & Onboarding

Recruiting & Onboarding extends Microsoft Dynamics 365 with a professional employee Recruiting and Onboarding module.

From position planning and applicant management all the way to creating an offer - the module supports you throughout the entire applicant life cycle. You will continue to be supported until the new employee's first day at work and beyond that until the end of the onboarding.

Directly after you have made your purchase decision, all departments benefit from integrated working. Software islands are eliminated and multiple data entries are a thing of the past.

All tasks are completed in a standardized interface - simply use your Outlook, preferred browser or mobile from all common end devices.

Integrated Recruiting without data islands

The 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 organisation, 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.

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 using 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 Compliance

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.

Your own Recruiting Portal on your website

The Recruiting Portal is a complete and automated applicant portal.

All jobs created and approved in your recruiting software are automatically published in the portal at the touch of a button.

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.

The portal does not only support you before hiring new employees, it also helps you during onboarding, e.g. with the electronic entry of employee master data by the applicant - even before entering the company.

Onboarding

The Onboarding module supports you from signing the contract until the first working day and even further until the end of the onboarding of the new employee.

Before the employee's actual start date, you can use electronic forms in the Onboarding Portal to request additional information from him or her, such as bank details, social insurance number, and so on. In addition, you can also send important documents to the employee like the employee manual and even videos. At the same time, all participants (IT, purchasing, supervisors, ...) receive all necessary information to prepare the employee's workplace.

From the first working day of the employee, the system supports your team and the new employee in the structured orientation process. Tasks for issuing equipment such as laptops and access cards as well as appointments for orientation purposes and trainings are provided directly to the new employee and all other team members via their Outlook, browser or on their smartphone.

Last but not least, the function can also be used for the Offboarding of employees. The Onboarding Extension supports transfers, returns of company items and all other tasks when an employee leaves the company. All of these processes and automations are based on templates. Sample templates are already included in the scope of delivery.
