Search Control Room

Every search runs from one control room.

Each vacancy gets a rich workspace: fee, salary, hiring team, must-have and nice-to-have criteria, market coding and a kanban pipeline. AI supports the search from brief to placement, and nothing quietly falls apart.

Qualify the brief before you burn a fortnight

Before you work a role, SearchOS assesses salary against market reality, pool size and win probability. If the salary is the blocker, it arms you to challenge the brief with evidence rather than hope.

The interview machine

One action schedules the interview, sends the calendar invite, creates the Meet link, emails an AI-drafted confirmation and generates a tailored prep pack from your intake call. Candidates can self-book from your real availability.

  • Applicants auto-screened against the brief the moment the CV lands
  • Pipelines open ranked best-fit first, knockouts explained
  • Stage-aging chips and flight-risk flags on every process
  • Placed-but-not-started tracking and a nightly delivery risk sweep
  • Offer Advisor: offer vs expectations, competing processes, close advice

Ownership and splits, handled

For multi-desk firms, candidate and client ownership follows clear policy with meaningful-contact windows, and fee splits are proposed automatically at placement. No more awkward conversations after the invoice.

Questions recruiters ask us

Does it work for retained and contingency?

Yes. The pipeline stages, projections and viability logic work for both. Retained desks lean on the control room and client reporting; contingency desks lean on speed and pre-screening.

How accurate is the applicant screening?

Every applicant is scored against your actual brief, with the reasoning shown. You stay the judge. The point is opening a pipeline that is already in order instead of a pile of unread CVs.

What does the prep pack include?

An 8-section interview guide generated from the brief and your intake call transcript: company context, role reality, likely questions, salary framing and the traps to avoid.

Can candidates really book themselves in?

Yes. Self-booking links run off real calendar availability, and a booking triggers the same machine: invite, confirmation, prep.

How do fee splits work?

Your firm sets the policy once, ownership windows included. At placement SearchOS proposes the split automatically, and an owner can override it with an audit trail.
