Rates are buried
The last rate you paid is somewhere in a note from six months ago.
Contract recruitment
Win the contract. Keep the contractor.
Contract desks win on speed to submit and fill, then earn on every week a contractor stays. Dooglie supports the whole lifecycle, from the first rate conversation to the extension, the renegotiation and the next placement.
InfoMarcus's rate
On £550 a day. The client paid £575 on its last contractor in this role.
There's room to move when the purchase order renews.
CautionContract end date
Marcus finishes at Calder & Rowe in six weeks. Ask about an extension now, before he starts looking.
OpportunitySimilar to Marcus
Two people on your books with the same background, in case he moves on.
What gets in the way
Contracts move by the day.
Availability goes stale
Who's free, and when, changes faster than anyone updates the CRM.
Renewals sneak up
An end date passes without a conversation, and the extension or the next role goes to someone else.
The whole lifecycle
The placement is only the beginning.
Contract desks grow on net gain: contractors added, minus contractors finishing. Keeping the ones you have is half the job, and every stage below runs on conversations Dooglie already remembers.
Win
Rate, availability and the right person, submitted first.
Start
Project mobilisation, start dates and onboarding agreed and on the record.
Keep happy
Timesheet and expense queries, and regular check-ins with contractor and client.
Renew
Purchase order renewals and rate renegotiations, with what was paid last time in front of you.
Extend or redeploy
End dates spotted early, so the extension or the next role is lined up in time.
How Dooglie helps
Faster to submit. Longer on site.
Know the rate before you ask
“Rate Benchmark” and “Market and Rate Position” show what they expect, what the client paid last time and where the market sits.
Availability captured on every call
“Background” cards flag what's missing, like notice or end dates, and Dooglie fills the fields when you hang up.
A backup, ready
“Similar People” finds look-alikes on your books the moment you need one, so a drop-out doesn't cost the deal.
Renewals and extensions in time
End dates, purchase orders and what the contractor and client have said are on the record, so the conversation happens before the contract ends.
Timesheets connected
Dooglie works with Timesheet Portal and RSM InTime, so timesheet and expense queries come with the facts.
Spot the next requirement
“Hiring Pattern” shows where a client may need more contractors, before they ask anyone else.
Be first to the contractor, and the one they stay with.
