Hiring and people operations, native to Microsoft Teams
AB Talent runs the whole employee story in one place: post a role, let AI read every application and explain its shortlist, get the new hire productive on day one, and keep the team learning, present and well — without leaving Teams.
AB Talent is a private app
It is not on Microsoft AppSource and there is no self-serve sign-up yet. We install it for design partners one organization at a time, so the roadmap follows real HR teams rather than a feature list. If that sounds like your team, tell us how you hire and we will take it from there.
The whole employee story, in one place
From the first application to the tenth year: hiring, onboarding, learning, leave and the everyday HR questions — each one handed to the next, none of them in a separate tool.
One posting, one pipeline
Write the role once and publish it to your careers site, job boards and your own employees for referrals. Every applicant lands in the same pipeline, and the whole hiring team can see where each person stands without asking.
AI reads every application — and shows its reasoning
AB Talent scores each application against the requirements you wrote and lists what matched and what didn't, in your words. Nobody is rejected by a black box: the AI shortlists and explains, a person decides, and the reason is kept on the record.
Day one is ready before day one
When an offer is accepted, onboarding starts itself. HR, IT, the office and the hiring manager each get their tasks — contract, accounts, equipment, first-week learning path — and everyone can see what is still open. Offboarding runs the same checklist in reverse.
Training that keeps skills current
Build courses and learning paths for the people you already have, assign them by role or department, and track completion. Certificates are issued automatically and results feed a skills matrix — so you know what your team can do before you open the next role.
Leave, attendance and health, approved in Teams
Employees request leave where they already chat; managers approve in one tap and balances update themselves. The same place tracks attendance and the health checkups and stress checks you are required to run — so a legal obligation stops being a spreadsheet someone remembers in March.
The HR help desk that answers itself
"How many leave days do I have left?" "What do I file for a commuting allowance?" AB Talent answers from your own handbook and the employee's own record, cites the rule it used, and passes the rest to HR with the context already gathered.
Built for how HR actually works
The records, the reminders and the paperwork an HR team carries all year — native to Teams.

See the reporting line as it is today, and what the next hire does to it.
Reviews, goals & 1-on-1s
Run review cycles and keep goals and meeting notes with the person, not in someone's inbox.
Skills matrix
Training results become an inventory of what your team can do — and where the gap is.
Documents & expiry
Contracts, visas and certifications with renewal reminders, so nothing lapses quietly.
Health & stress checks
Track who is due, who has completed, and keep the record you have to produce.
Teams-native, desk & mobile
No separate HR portal for employees to forget the password to.
SSO & audit trail
Sign in with Microsoft 365, and every change to a personnel record is attributable.
