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 employers, the heads of HR, people directors and CHROs 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
HR people move on project cycles, so your own record usually knows who is finishing an assignment before the market does. 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 employer is judging whether the specialist can hold a difficult case from day one, 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 assignment progress, placement fees and where offers stall, so the update is drawn from the record rather than assembled before the call.
Checks and clearances
On the record before anyone is placed
The checks that gate a placement sit on the worker record with expiry alerts, and are confirmed before anyone is committed to a client.

Questions
Executive Search HR 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 employers and specialists 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 HR placement need?
The checks that gate a placement sit on the worker record with expiry alerts, and are confirmed before anyone is committed to a client. The desk holds right-to-work documents with expiry alerts, professional qualifications on the candidate record, references confirmed on the worker record, contract status and IR35 position held with the placement.
