On July 1, 2017 Microsoft released Dynamics 365 for Talent. This new Human Capital Management (HCM) application is cloud-based and utilizes Microsoft Common Data Services. The Talent application can be licensed as a stand-alone solution or part of the larger Unified Operations Dynamics 365 Plan.

Who needs Talent? Does your company have the ability to attract, engage and allow its best resource to thrive? Dynamics 365 for Talent is a new approach to empower all the people within the talent journey. Within today's digital workplace, human resource efforts must move faster, be more agile, and be the facilitators of change. Today's workforce is blended across geography and generation. Your employees are also your consumers and expect professional development, and the ability to drive their own career growth. You want your employees to be impactful and empowered. Dynamics 365 for Talent allows your organization to build a customized talent journey to meet these needs every step along the way.

Dynamics 365 integrates seamlessly with LinkedIn Recruiter as well as other ATS application.

Dynamics 365 for Talent is based around three main concepts: Attract, Engage, Thrive

Attract: Hire the best talent faster by having visibility throughout the hiring process. A candidates LinkedIn profile is accessible and actionable within the solution. Interview scheduling can consider a candidate's availability as well as the hiring team. Calendar invitations can be sent directly from the solution and the interview schedule is visible from either a candidate view or job posting. Hiring managers and interviewers enter feedback, hire/no hire recommendations and offer information. The HR team has one place to oversee the entire process.

Engage: Build high-performance agile teams. Customized Pre-boarding and On-boarding processes will set your new hires up for success with customized welcome packages, tracking required documents, and first day preparation. A new hire dashboard can keep your new talent in touch with key contacts and give managers and the new hire the ability to monitor the progress of critical onboarding tasks.

Thrive: Maximize the potential of your team. Dynamics 365 offers your talent a self-service approach from common HR tasks to visibility into career paths allowing them the power to drive their own career. It offers managers the ability to present a collaborative experience for learning management and skill tracking. Imagine the benefit of an evaluation process that transforms from an annual event to an ongoing growth experience.

Through Dynamic 365 your organization will have a complete view of the employee experience and allow you to provide your employees with an intuitive experience, your managers visibility and collaboration, and allow HR to deliver impactful programs.
