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 stores, the store managers, area managers and retail 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
Retail peaks repeat every year, so last Christmas's list is the fastest route to covering 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 store is judging whether the colleague is inducted and on the floor at opening, 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 store, cover by shift and where the week is short, so the update is drawn from the record rather than assembled before the call.
Checks and clearances
On the record before anyone is placed
Right-to-work documents and store inductions are confirmed against the worker before a booking is committed, with expiry alerts and an automated chase when something is missing.

Questions
Executive Search Retail 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 stores and colleagues 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 retail placement need?
Right-to-work documents and store inductions are confirmed against the worker before a booking is committed, with expiry alerts and an automated chase when something is missing. The desk holds right-to-work documents with expiry alerts, store inductions recorded against the placement, AWR position visible at the point of booking, configured fatigue, break and recent-hours checks.
