How the desk runs

One platform, from the market map to the offer.

  • Map the market

    Build the target list on the assignment record — the clients, the engineering managers, technical leads and operations directors inside them, and who has already been spoken to.

  • Confidential approaches

    Approaches, conversations and declines are recorded against the assignment, so a discreet search still leaves a trail the team can work from.

  • Longlist to shortlist

    Shutdowns repeat on a cycle, so the engineers who worked the last one are the obvious first call. Move candidates through the assignment stages with the reasoning attached, and send a formatted shortlist from the record.

  • Assessment and interviews

    Interview stages, feedback and assessment notes sit on the candidate within the assignment. At this level the client is judging whether the engineer arrives ticketed and inducted for the plant, and the evidence for it belongs on the record.

  • Retained milestones

    Retainer stages are tracked against the assignment, so what has been billed and what is due sits with the work rather than beside it.

  • The client report

    Dashman shows fill-rate by client, contractor margin and the disciplines you are short of, so the update is drawn from the record rather than assembled before the call.

Checks and clearances

Qualified and inducted before the placement starts

Qualifications, tickets and inductions sit on the worker record with expiry alerts, so the desk can see who is genuinely ready for the job in hand.

How documents and expiry work
  • Professional and trade qualifications with expiry alerts
  • Site and plant inductions recorded against the placement
  • Right-to-work documents with expiry alerts
  • References confirmed on the worker record

Questions

Executive Search Engineering recruitment software questions.

Does it support retained assignments?

Retainer milestones are tracked against the assignment alongside the stages, so what has been billed and what is still due sits with the work.

Can approaches be kept confidential?

Approaches and conversations are recorded against the assignment with the access controls you have configured, so a discreet search still leaves a usable trail.

How is market mapping handled?

The target list of clients and engineers is built on the assignment record, including who has already been approached and what they said.

What does the client see?

Assignment progress is drawn from the record stage by stage, so the update is reported rather than reconstructed before each call.

What checks does a engineering placement need?

Qualifications, tickets and inductions sit on the worker record with expiry alerts, so the desk can see who is genuinely ready for the job in hand. The desk holds professional and trade qualifications with expiry alerts, site and plant inductions recorded against the placement, right-to-work documents with expiry alerts, references confirmed on the worker record.
