How the desk runs

One platform, from the vacancy to the placement fee.

  • Take the vacancy properly

    The plant, the role detail, the salary and the fee agreement sit on one job record — whether it is one of the machine operators, maintenance technicians and line leaders or a role further up.

  • Source from your own database first

    Plants run to a production cycle, so the operatives who ran the last campaign are the first list to work. 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 plant is whether the operator is ticketed for the machine before the shift, 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 plant, cover by line and where the week is short, by consultant and by stage.

Checks and clearances

Ticketed and inducted before the shift

Machine tickets, inductions and PPE sign-off are held against the worker with expiry alerts, and confirmed before a booking is committed.

How documents and expiry work
  • Machine and plant tickets with expiry alerts
  • Line and plant inductions recorded against the placement

Questions

Permanent Manufacturing recruitment software questions.

Can it handle the whole manufacturing 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 operatives 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 manufacturing placement need?

Machine tickets, inductions and PPE sign-off are held against the worker with expiry alerts, and confirmed before a booking is committed. The desk holds machine and plant tickets with expiry alerts, line and plant inductions recorded against the placement, PPE sign-off before the worker goes on site, right-to-work documents with expiry alerts.
