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 sites, the site managers, production managers and heads of operations 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
Volume work repeats with the season, so the operatives who worked last peak are the first to ring for this one. 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 site is judging whether the whole shift turns up inducted and hygiene-certified, 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 site, cover by line and where the week is short, so the update is drawn from the record rather than assembled before the call.
Checks and clearances
Inducted and certified before the shift
Food and plant environments gate on hygiene certification and induction. Both sit on the worker record with expiry alerts, checked before a booking is committed.
How documents and expiry work- Food hygiene certification with expiry alerts
- Site and line inductions recorded against the placement

Questions
Executive Search FMCG 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 sites and operatives 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 FMCG placement need?
Food and plant environments gate on hygiene certification and induction. Both sit on the worker record with expiry alerts, checked before a booking is committed. The desk holds food hygiene certification with expiry alerts, site and line inductions recorded against the placement, right-to-work documents with expiry alerts, PPE sign-off before the worker goes on site.
