How the desk runs

One platform, from the vacancy to the placement fee.

  • Take the vacancy properly

    The dealership, the role detail, the salary and the fee agreement sit on one job record — whether it is one of the vehicle technicians, MOT testers and service advisors or a role further up.

  • Source from your own database first

    Technicians move between dealer groups in a small local market, so your own database is usually a better first call than an advert. Plain-English search and CV parsing run across everything you already hold, with AI match scoring surfacing who is worth a call.

  • A shortlist the client can read

    Send a formatted shortlist from the record. What matters to the dealership is whether the technician can work unsupervised on the bay from day one, so the submission leads with that rather than a CV dump.

  • Interviews without the diary tennis

    Arrange, confirm and reschedule from the job, with reminders going to both sides and the outcome recorded against the candidate.

  • Offer, acceptance and the fee

    Offer, counter-offer and acceptance are tracked on the placement with the fee, the start date and the rebate period attached.

  • Pipeline against target

    Dashman shows fill-rate by dealership, revenue by desk and the qualifications you are short of, by consultant and by stage.

Checks and clearances

Qualified for the bay before the booking is committed

Technical qualifications and licences are held against the worker with expiry alerts, so the desk can see who is genuinely qualified rather than who is merely free.

How documents and expiry work

Questions

Permanent Automotive recruitment software questions.

Can it handle the whole automotive perm process?

Vacancy, sourcing, shortlist, interviews, offer and placement fee all sit on one job record, so nothing is tracked in a separate spreadsheet or inbox.

How are placement fees and rebates tracked?

The fee, the start date and the rebate period sit on the placement, so what is invoiced and what is still at risk is visible without reconstructing it.

Does it help with candidate sourcing?

Plain-English search runs across your existing database, LinkedIn profiles come into the record in a click, and AI match scoring surfaces the technicians worth calling first.

Can we see pipeline against target?

Dashman shows pipeline, placements and fees against target by consultant, client and stage, in one live view rather than a monthly spreadsheet.

What checks does a automotive placement need?

Technical qualifications and licences are held against the worker with expiry alerts, so the desk can see who is genuinely qualified rather than who is merely free. The desk holds technical and trade qualifications with expiry alerts, driving licence category where the role requires it, right-to-work documents with expiry alerts, references confirmed on the worker record.
