From Excel Chaos to a Smart Power App: Real Hiring Use Case (No Code / Low Code!)

Recruitment is one of the most process-heavy functions in HR. From collecting resumes to coordinating interviews and managing candidate feedback, the process is often disjointed and spread across emails, spreadsheets, and multiple tools. In this blog post, we'll walk through how we built an end-to-end recruitment automation solution using Microsoft Power Platform to solve this in real-time.
