The HR technology landscape is evolving rapidly, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Human Resources is at the forefront with its latest roadmap. The new features announced for the upcoming release promise to transform how organizations attract, onboard, and empower talent. All delivering measurable business value and strategic advantages. In this blog we’ll describe the updates we’re most excited about; they’re expected to be released from October 2025 through March 2026.

HR Recruiting app in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Human Resources

The new Recruitment app in Dynamics 365 Human Resources enables a truly end-to-end hiring experience. HR business partners, recruiters, and hiring managers can create interview process templates, build talent pools, and view candidate profiles directly from LinkedIn. Collaboration is seamless, with the ability to add relevant information about positions and manage job postings efficiently. The process begins with a recruitment request via Manager Self-Service, triggering a workflow that recruiters manage through a model-driven Power Apps application. Candidates benefit from a user-friendly job portal built on Power Pages, where they can apply and track their application status. Automated interview scheduling integrated with Microsoft Office and feedback collection via Teams further accelerate the process.

Upcoming enhancements powered by Copilot will automatically calculate a fit percentage between candidates and job postings, and generate job descriptions, making recruitment smarter and more efficient. This comprehensive solution streamlines hiring, reduces manual effort, and helps organizations secure top talent faster.
