Hiring in an ERP, alongside everything else
- Recruiting is just one app. In Odoo, recruiting sits next to invoicing, inventory and payroll. The person doing the hiring often handles other things too.
- Every resume is opened by hand. The app centralizes applications, but reading and screening them is still up to you.
- First calls are left waiting. Without a dedicated team, candidates get called back when someone finds a moment, sometimes too late.
How to connect Odoo and Delectus
- You authorize the connection. An admin of your Odoo database authorizes Delectus to read the jobs and applications in the Recruitment app.
- Applications arrive. Jobs, applications and resumes are retrieved automatically, read-only. Nothing changes in Odoo.
- Delectus does the repetitive work. Reading resumes, prescreening by text or phone, preparing interviews.
Why an Odoo integration for hiring?
Odoo is business management software widely used by small and mid-sized companies, bringing accounting, sales, inventory and HR together in one tool. Its Recruitment app lets you post jobs and track applications without switching tools, which suits companies that want to keep everything in one place.
The Delectus Odoo integration keeps that approach. Odoo stays your management tool, and Delectus takes on the time-consuming recruiting tasks: reading resumes, first conversations with candidates and interview preparation.
Screen Odoo applications in minutes
Every resume retrieved from Odoo is read by AI and compared with the job's criteria. You get a ranked list where each match score is explained: experience close to the role, a key skill present or missing, a compatible location. Each profile's summary takes a few lines to read.
For an owner or manager who hires on top of their day job, it's the difference between reading fifty resumes and reading five, knowing why those five are at the top. The others remain available at any time.
Let the agents make the calls for you
For shortlisted candidates, the SMS prescreening agent sends a first message, says it is an AI and asks for the candidate's consent. It then asks the job's questions, such as start date, working hours, driver's license or expected pay. The candidate replies when they can, by text or on WhatsApp.
If they don't reply after two follow-ups, the voice prescreening agent calls them. You're notified if the candidate can't be reached. When the answers fit, the agent offers a meeting in your open slots, thanks to the calendar synced with Outlook or Teams.
Prepared interviews, even without an HR department
Delectus prepares an interview kit for each job, with questions tailored to the role and a scorecard. The interview can take place by video in Delectus with a real-time transcript, and a report by theme is waiting for you at the end. You compare candidates on their answers rather than on memory.
Keep your candidates for future hiring
Candidates retrieved from Odoo stay in your Delectus candidate database. A plain-language search finds them, and for every new job the tool suggests the ones who match. For a small business that hires a few times a year, it's often the fastest way to find the right person.
Example: a small business hiring a warehouse worker
A small distribution company runs everything in Odoo, including its hiring. It posts a warehouse worker job and receives applications during a busy period. Delectus retrieves them, puts at the top the candidates who hold the required forklift certification (CACES) and live nearby, and explains each ranking.
The manager shortlists six candidates. The SMS agent asks for their availability and whether they accept morning shifts, then the voice agent calls the two who haven't replied. The manager meets the four candidates who fit in the same half-day, without having made a single prescreening call.
An Odoo integration with no risk to your data
Delectus reads your jobs and applications and writes nothing to Odoo. The rest of your database, accounting, sales or inventory, is not involved. The recruiting data retrieved is hosted in the European Union and is not used to train any model.
