Hiring the right talent has never been more critical—or more complex. In today’s competitive labor market, organizations face rising costs per hire, increasing candidate expectations, and greater pressure to deliver a streamlined, responsive recruiting experience. HR leaders need tools that reduce administrative overhead, provide intelligent automation, and help them compete for top talent.
IT plays a vital role in enabling these outcomes by delivering secure, scalable, and integrated HR technology. With the public preview of the Dynamics 365 Human Resources Recruiting add-on, IT administrators can now empower HR teams with a modern recruiting experience—built on Microsoft’s Power Platform and enhanced by AI and Microsoft 365 integration.
Key Features Now Available in Public Preview
The Recruiting add-on provides a structured platform for sourcing, interviewing, and evaluating candidates across multiple job opportunities. Designed to improve collaboration between recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates, the new experience includes:
- Outlook-integrated scheduling:
- Check availability of interview panel members and candidates.
- Share interview time slots and automatically send meeting invites.
- Conduct interviews and collect feedback within Microsoft Teams.

These features are available as part of the Recruiting add-on (Preview), which runs as a model-driven Power App integrated with Microsoft Teams, Outlook, and Dataverse.
