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 laboratories, the lab managers, heads of QC and technical 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
Validation and campaign work repeats, so the scientists who ran 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 laboratory is judging whether the scientist is inducted and competent on the method, 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 laboratory, 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
Qualifications and laboratory inductions sit on the worker record with expiry alerts, and are confirmed before anyone is committed.
How documents and expiry work- Professional and academic qualifications with expiry alerts
- Laboratory inductions recorded against the placement
- Right-to-work documents with expiry alerts
- References confirmed on the worker record

Questions
Executive Search Scientific 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 laboratories and scientists 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 scientific placement need?
Qualifications and laboratory inductions sit on the worker record with expiry alerts, and are confirmed before anyone is committed. The desk holds professional and academic qualifications with expiry alerts, laboratory inductions recorded against the placement, right-to-work documents with expiry alerts, references confirmed on the worker record.
