365 Talent Portal

What 365 Talent Portal does

365 Talent Portal (legal entity: 365 RESOURCE LIMITED, founded 2017) is a UK-incorporated online talent platform focused exclusively on the Microsoft Dynamics 365 ecosystem. The company operates a WordPress/WooCommerce-based portal connecting a vetted community of 4,000-7,000+ Microsoft Dynamics, Power Platform, and Copilot consultants across 114-118 countries with Microsoft Partners and end-user organizations seeking to hire. The platform is structured as a two-sided marketplace: consultants can join for free (Basic) or pay for VIP visibility in search results, while hiring organizations subscribe on a tiered Bronze (free), Silver, and Gold (paid) basis, with Gold including dedicated account management and unlimited hires during the subscription period.

The company's offering has expanded well beyond job board functionality. It now includes an extensive training catalog (Dynamics 365, Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft 365, AI 101, and Soft Skills), bespoke corporate training, coaching services (Team 1:1 and Group Partner Sessions), practice-accelerator workshops for Microsoft Partners (Business Central Practice Accelerator, Frontier Accelerator), and a differentiated Microsoft Talent Creator program that trains and certifies career changers before placement. GTM motion is community-led and content-driven, anchored by The 365 Pod podcast, free eBooks, webinars, and a multi-channel social presence. The business model mixes recurring subscription revenue (client memberships), per-learner training fees (e.g., GBP 499/USD 649 for AI 101; from $1,750 for the Career Changer Program), and bundled Hiring & Training Packages (from $8,000).

Customer segments include Microsoft Partners (building Dynamics/Business Central/Copilot practices), Dynamics end-user organizations (hiring freelancers or permanent staff), and individual consultants seeking Microsoft certifications and job opportunities. The leadership team — CEO Elena Baeva, COO Steve Sydee, Product Director Sandra Koutzenko, and non-executive Louis Geller (ex-Microsoft, VMware, HP) — is small and founder-led, consistent with the company's bootstrapped status (no disclosed funding rounds, no acquisitions, no parent company). Microsoft is the core strategic partner, with Ingram Micro, TD Synnex, and Companial featured as channel-level relationships.
