Agencies are slow and expensive
Weeks of back-and-forth, CVs that don't match the brief, and a placement fee that lands somewhere north of 20% — for a contractor you may only need for six weeks.
365 Virtual Bench is the talent marketplace for the Microsoft ecosystem. Build a prequalified bench of Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Azure and Copilot specialists — then scale it up and down on demand, without carrying the cost of an idle team.
A go-live slips. A consultant rolls off. A client signs sooner than planned. The work is there today — but the standard ways of finding people all take weeks you don't have.
Weeks of back-and-forth, CVs that don't match the brief, and a placement fee that lands somewhere north of 20% — for a contractor you may only need for six weeks.
Post a D365 F&O role and you'll get two hundred applications, most of them nowhere near the skill set. Screening is now your problem.
Partners carry consultants between projects to stay responsive. It works — right up until utilisation drops and the bench becomes the biggest line on the P&L.
A virtual bench is a pool of prequalified specialists who already match your criteria — your stack, your rate band, your regions, your security requirements — sitting ready before you need them.
When demand arrives you engage from the bench in days rather than weeks. When the project ends, you scale straight back down. You get the responsiveness of a permanent bench without paying for the idle time.
"Senior F&O finance consultant, UK, available in three weeks, under £650 a day." Our AI search reads the brief and works the whole bench — no boolean strings, no filters to fight with.
Semantic matching across skills, project history and CVs returns the people who genuinely fit — with live availability, notice period and rate on every card.
Day rate, fixed term, or outcome-based delivery where you share the engagement and take a quote for the whole piece of work. Track everyone through your pipeline in one place.
Natural-language search over the entire bench, ranked by genuine fit rather than keyword overlap.
See who is on the market right now, who's free from a date, and who has just updated their status.
Save a brief once. When someone new matches it, the alert comes to you — no re-running searches.
Every applicant, bid and shortlisted specialist tracked in one view from first contact to hired.
Live supply and demand across the ecosystem — which skills are scarce, and what they're going for.
Share the engagement and take a quote for the outcome, instead of defaulting to a daily rate.
Build one profile, set your availability, and let the work come to you. Companies search the bench in plain English — when your skills fit the brief, you surface.
No placement fees, no percentage of contract value. You pay for access to the bench — what you agree with the specialist stays between you and them.

Yes, deliberately. Every specialist on the bench works somewhere in the Microsoft ecosystem — Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Azure, Fabric, Copilot and Microsoft 365. A narrow bench is a better bench: matching is sharper and the vetting means something.
You are not paying a percentage of anyone's contract. It's a flat platform subscription, and you deal with the specialist directly. If you'd rather someone ran the process for you, the Hire-a-Recruiter plan gives you a dedicated recruiter without moving to a placement-fee model.
Instead of agreeing a day rate and counting days, you share the engagement — the scope and the result you need — and the specialist quotes for delivering it. Useful for well-defined pieces of work like a data migration, an integration or an upgrade.
Profiles are reviewed before they reach the bench, and CVs are parsed so that claimed skills line up with actual project history. Companies see availability, notice period and fee model up front so there are fewer wasted conversations.
Both. The bench covers full-time, part-time, contract, freelance and outcome-based work — the specialist sets what they're open to, and you can filter on it.
