How the desk runs
One platform, from the vacancy to the placement fee.
Take the vacancy properly
The firm, the role detail, the salary and the fee agreement sit on one job record — whether it is one of the paralegals, solicitors and legal secretaries or a role further up.
Source from your own database first
Legal desks place the same people repeatedly across matters, so your own record is the fastest first call. 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 firm is whether the lawyer is admitted, conflict-free and ready for the matter, 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 assignment progress, placement fees and where offers stall, by consultant and by stage.
Checks and clearances
Admitted and conflict-checked before the placement
Practising status and conflict position sit on the candidate record, so a placement is put forward on evidence rather than assumption.

Questions
Permanent Legal recruitment software questions.
Can it handle the whole legal 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, duplicates are flagged before a new record goes in, and AI match scoring surfaces the lawyers 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 do legal placements need?
Practising status and conflict position sit on the candidate record, so a placement is put forward on evidence rather than assumption. The desk holds practising certificate status with expiry alerts, conflict checks recorded against the placement, right-to-work documents with expiry alerts, references confirmed on the worker record.
