Future Style Flow with Microsoft Logos

In this guide, we’ll demonstrate several ways that a human resources team might use Copilot with Microsoft 365 to make hiring and onboarding more efficient. Currently, the HR team is hiring for two positions: a Director of Product Development and an Executive Assistant in the same department. Let's dive into the scenarios.


Creating Job Descriptions

Director of Product Development

The first task is to create a job description for the Director of Product Development. Copilot can make this process effortless in Word. With a simple prompt, Copilot generates a job description that you can copy into Word, providing a solid draft to start with. This saves valuable time and helps spark ideas that you can customize for your needs.


Executive Assistant

Next, the HR team focuses on hiring an Executive Assistant. Copilot can also help generate interview questions in Word. By entering a prompt, Copilot creates a set of insightful interview questions that can be used as a starting point. You can specify the number of questions, edit them as needed, or add your own—giving you a foundation to work from that saves time and effort.


Conducting a Salary Survey

Copilot can assist in conducting a salary survey for the Director of Product Development across different cities. After entering the prompt, Copilot generates results and even provides a link to the source, ensuring transparency. This feature helps HR teams easily verify data and adjust compensation strategies accordingly.


Creating Templates

Copilot can also help create reusable templates in Word. These templates save time by providing a draft framework that you can use over and over again, ensuring consistency while allowing flexibility for specific needs.


Developing an Onboarding Plan

The HR team wants to develop a three-month onboarding plan for the new Executive Assistant. Copilot can generate a starting draft, which can be modified or adjusted as needed. The key to maximizing Copilot’s utility is refining the prompt, allowing for an iterative approach to achieve the best results for onboarding new hires.


Drafting an Introduction Letter

Now that the Executive Assistant, Jane, has been hired, the HR team wants to introduce her to the rest of the department. With Copilot, they can draft an introduction email that provides relevant information about Jane to her new colleagues. Copilot can even use information from Jane's resume to create a personalized introduction that helps the team get to know her before she starts.


Conclusion

These scenarios showcase several ways that a human resources team can use Microsoft Copilot within Microsoft 365 to streamline their daily activities—from drafting job descriptions and interview questions to conducting salary surveys and creating onboarding plans. Copilot helps HR teams save time, improve coordination, and focus on what matters most: finding and supporting the best talent.
