Every message lands on the candidate’s record, whatever the channel. Nobody copies anything over.

What Desk brings together

The candidate, the client and the conversation. On the same screen.

ATS + CRM

An ATS on one side, a CRM on the other: that’s typing everything twice.

Candidates, contacts, companies and assignments share the same database. An update on the candidate side shows on the client side, and the other way round. A client contact can become a candidate without losing their history.

  • Contact details, notes and messages on one record
  • Email and phone found in one click
  • LinkedIn profile imported in one click, skills included

Search

A talent pool you can’t search is a graveyard.

Keyword, Boolean or plain language. Type “senior accountant available in Lyon”: Desk searches CVs, your notes and imported LinkedIn profiles, not just the fields on the record.

  • Three search modes, everyone picks theirs
  • CVs and interview notes are searchable

Pipeline

Everyone sees the process the way they work. The process stays the same.

Grid, cards or kanban, with your own statuses. The whole team follows every job, from shortlist to interview, without forcing one format on everybody.

  • Three views, your statuses
  • Everyone picks their own view, without imposing it on the team

AI Copilot

The Copilot suggests. You hit send.

It searches, compares, summarises a CV and drafts a message from your own database. It doesn’t act alone: you read it and you approve it. And the MCP server plugs your database into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor.

  • Included in every plan, no extra charge
  • MCP server: 53 tools on your database

Outreach and messaging, included

Follow up on three channels. Reply from just one.

One sequence, three channels, no forgotten follow-up.

Drag-and-drop editor, no code: conditions, delays and branches. Sending quotas are calibrated on your LinkedIn account to avoid restrictions.

One thread per candidate. Not three inboxes to watch.

LinkedIn, email and WhatsApp in a single conversation, continuously synced with Gmail and Outlook. The Copilot suggests a reply based on the history.

After the signature, Desk keeps going

The assignment, the timesheet, the invoice. In the same tool.

  1. The consultant fills in their timesheet. The client signs it online.

    Assignments and PeopleTimesheets sent from the consultant space, signed with a one-time code. No more back-and-forth by email.

  2. The margin works itself out. The spreadsheet can go.

    Margin per assignmentClient day rate, consultant cost, duration: gross margin is recalculated on every change.

  3. An assignment ending shows up before the bench, not after.

    60 days aheadthe consultant moves up in the availability score.

  4. Placement confirmed, invoice ready to review.

    Billing with CashA draft with the fee, the client’s details and your bank details. Payment schedule, credit notes, CSV accounting export.

What plugs into Desk

Desk is the core.
5 apps plug into it.

They all read from and write to the same database. You move from one to the next without losing context.

What they write lands on the record.

What people ask us about Desk.

How is Desk different from a standard ATS?

A standard ATS handles candidates and leaves you with a separate CRM and outreach tools on the side. Desk includes the client CRM, LinkedIn, email and WhatsApp sequences, and search across your CVs, your notes and imported LinkedIn profiles. In one interface, with no extra subscription.

Does Desk replace my LinkedIn outreach tool?

Yes. Sequences cover LinkedIn, email and WhatsApp, with conditions and delays. Quotas are calibrated on your LinkedIn account to avoid restrictions, and you run everything from your pipeline.

What comes with Desk?

ATS and CRM, sequences, messaging, assignments and the People consultant space, billing with Cash, and the AI Copilot. Career is included from Pro; Scout, Note, Board and Radar (in beta) are in Suite.

Does Marvin connect to LinkedIn and my email inbox?

Yes. You connect your LinkedIn account, your Gmail or Outlook / Microsoft 365 inbox, and your WhatsApp. Desk sends your LinkedIn (messages and invitations), email and WhatsApp sequences from those accounts, and conversations land in a single inbox, linked to the candidate or contact record.

Does Desk's AI Copilot write for me?

It assists: it summarises a profile, suggests a draft or a recommendation. You approve before anything is sent. It never acts on its own.

What is CV database software?

CV database software gathers CVs and candidate profiles in a base you can search, instead of leaving them in folders and inboxes. In Desk, every candidate has a record and search works by keywords, in boolean or in natural language: it covers the text of CVs, of your notes and of imported LinkedIn profiles, not just the fields of the record. Desk is included from the Pro plan.
