How the desk runs
One platform, from the vacancy to the placement fee.
Take the vacancy properly
The client, the role detail, the salary and the fee agreement sit on one job record — whether it is one of the office, commercial and operational staff or a role further up.
Source from your own database first
A generalist desk lives on its own database, so plain-English search across everyone you have ever placed is the first move. 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 client is whether the person fits the team as well as the job description, 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, placement fees and margin across every desk, by consultant and by stage.
Checks and clearances
On the record before anyone is placed
Whatever the desk is working on, the checks that gate a placement sit on the worker record with expiry alerts and are confirmed before anyone is committed.
How documents and expiry work- Right-to-work documents with expiry alerts
- References confirmed on the worker record
- Qualifications and certifications with expiry alerts
- AWR position visible at the point of booking

Questions
Permanent Generalist recruitment software questions.
Can it handle the whole generalist 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 candidates 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 generalist placement need?
Whatever the desk is working on, the checks that gate a placement sit on the worker record with expiry alerts and are confirmed before anyone is committed. The desk holds right-to-work documents with expiry alerts, references confirmed on the worker record, qualifications and certifications with expiry alerts, AWR position visible at the point of booking.
