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, heads of platform and CTOs 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
Contractors move between engagements on a known cycle, so your record tells you who is coming free 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 client is judging whether the engineer is productive in the stack from week 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 contract margin by placement, extensions due and where assignments stall, so the update is drawn from the record rather than assembled before the call.
Checks and clearances
Status settled before the contract starts
Contract status, certifications and screening sit on the worker record, so the position is evidenced when the client or the accountant asks.
How documents and expiry work- Contract status and IR35 position held with the placement

Questions
Executive Search IT 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 IT placement need?
Contract status, certifications and screening sit on the worker record, so the position is evidenced when the client or the accountant asks. The desk holds contract status and IR35 position held with the placement, certifications with expiry alerts, right-to-work documents with expiry alerts, references confirmed on the worker record.
