About this Product

Most HR teams on Business Central run recruiting out of spreadsheets and email, or pay monthly for a standalone ATS that never talks to their ERP. This extension closes that gap by putting the whole hiring funnel — requisition, candidate pool, interviews, offer — inside the same Business Central environment where you already manage Employees, dimensions, and approvals.

It is built to order, not an instant AppSource download. ECOSIRE develops the extension in AL (table extensions, page extensions, and event subscribers against the standard Human Resources and Approval Workflow objects), then installs it as a per-tenant extension on your Business Central Online or on-premises environment. We tailor the pipeline stages, scorecard templates, and offer-letter approval chain to how your talent team actually hires.

Recruiters get dedicated Requisition and Candidate cards, a kanban-style pipeline, interview scheduling with structured scorecards, and a configurable offer-letter approval flow that reuses Business Central's native Approval Workflow and notifications. When a candidate is hired, one action converts them into an Employee record — carrying over contact data, documents, and dimensions — so there is no re-keying.

The extension exposes its tables through the standard Business Central OData v4 / REST API, so careers-site forms, LinkedIn intake, or a Power Automate flow can create candidates directly, and Power BI can report on time-to-hire. Dedicated permission sets keep recruiter, hiring-manager, and HR-admin access separated. CV parsing populates the candidate pool from uploaded resumes, and a job queue entry handles scheduled tasks like stale-application reminders.

You own the source. ECOSIRE delivers the .app package, installs it, hands over documentation, and provides a support and update window covering AL/runtime upgrades as Business Central releases its semi-annual waves.

Who this is for

HR / Talent Acquisition Lead

Runs hiring for a Business Central company and wants requisitions, candidates, and offers in one system instead of a separate ATS subscription that never reconciles with the ERP headcount.

Hiring Manager

Reviews shortlisted candidates, submits structured interview scorecards, and approves or rejects offers from inside Business Central — without learning a new tool or chasing email threads.

Business Central Administrator / IT

Needs recruiting delivered as a governed per-tenant extension with proper permission sets, API endpoints, and an upgrade path that survives Microsoft's semi-annual release waves.

Frequently Asked Questions about Recruitment & Applicant Tracking (ATS) for Business Central

Is this a ready-made AppSource app I can install instantly?

No. This is a build-to-order extension. ECOSIRE develops it in AL and installs it as a per-tenant extension directly on your Business Central environment. There is no instant AppSource download — we tailor the pipeline stages, scorecards, and offer-approval flow to your process before delivery.

How long does delivery take?

A typical build runs about 3 to 5 weeks after we confirm requirements: requirements and stage/scorecard mapping in week one, AL development and your sandbox install for review next, then production install and handover. Heavier integrations (Dataverse careers portal, custom CV-parsing sources) extend the timeline, and we confirm the exact schedule in writing before starting.

Do I get the source code and ongoing support?

Yes. We hand over the full AL source and the .app package — you own it. The price includes a support and update window covering bug fixes and AL/runtime compatibility as Business Central ships its semi-annual waves. Beyond that window, ongoing maintenance, feature additions, and new-wave upgrades are available under a support agreement.

Will it work on Business Central Online (SaaS) and on-premises?

Yes. The extension is built to the AL extension model so it installs cleanly on Business Central Online as a per-tenant extension and on on-premises deployments. We confirm your platform and runtime version up front so the manifest targets the correct application range.

How does it connect to our careers website or LinkedIn?

The requisition and candidate tables are exposed through the standard Business Central OData v4 / REST API. A careers-site form, a Power Automate flow, or a LinkedIn intake can POST a new candidate straight into the pipeline. We document the endpoints and can build the connecting flow as part of the engagement if you want it included.
