Making Permanent Placements

Creating and making placements in Firefish

Compliance Information 

To place a candidate at Offer stage, you'll firstly need to complete the candidate's compliance information.

Depending on your settings, this may be something a Super User or Compliance user needs to authorise.

The compliance at the job offer stage is completely customisable too, but this needs to be completed before a placement is made.

Once the compliance has been completed, the status will change to "Ready to Place".

Next, you can select the candidate you're ready to place and click the Place button at the bottom of the page:

Before the confirming the placement, you'll have a final opportunity to edit the placement details:

From this page you can make any amendments to the start date or pay if these have been negotiated since the offer was made.

If a candidate you are placing or extending is a Hot Candidate, their Hot status will automatically be removed when the Placement or Extension is confirmed. This will help identify your remaining Hot Candidates who are still available for opportunities. Hot Status can be manually re-added within the Candidate Record.

For Permanent placements; you can add any Offer and Contract documents to the Placement Summary. Once uploaded, clicking the document opens the document preview side panel; you can download, print and even rename the document here

 

Recording fee splits

If you've been working on this role with a colleague, you can add use the Splits button to split the sales between you and a colleague:

This will open up a new window allowing you to Add Split and split the fee between you and a colleague. You can add up to 3 splits on any placement:

Once you confirm the placement, emails will be generated to the candidate, contact, HR and Accounts (if email addresses are populated in your job configuration).

After you either skip or send these emails, a pop-up will appear giving you the option to unsubscribe the placed candidate from future marketing emails, SMS or job alerts:

Your placed candidate will then be listed in the Placements tab of the job workflow.

Placed candidates will appear on your To Do list and under the Diary section of your Dashboard, so you can easily keep track of placements...

...or within the New Start to do list, wish the candidate good luck on their first day:

Your Sales Plan will also be updated to include the new placement figures - find out more about recording permanent sales figures.
