How the desk runs

One platform, from the vacancy to the placement fee.

  • Take the vacancy properly

    The laboratory, the role detail, the salary and the fee agreement sit on one job record — whether it is one of the analytical chemists, lab technicians and QC analysts or a role further up.

  • Source from your own database first

    Validation and campaign work repeats, so the scientists who ran the last one are the obvious 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 laboratory is whether the scientist is inducted and competent on the method, 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 laboratory, contractor margin and the disciplines you are short of, by consultant and by stage.

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.

Questions

Permanent Scientific recruitment software questions.

Can it handle the whole scientific 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 scientists 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 scientific placements 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.
