Create a Positioning

Opportunities > Opportunity card > Positionings tab

You can choose between 3 search modes available for your positionings and your deliveries:

  • Position a candidate or resource directly if you already know their name

  • Benefit from BoondSuggest filtering

  • Use the classic search

By clicking on "Create a positioning" a workflow appears and offers you 3 types of searches detailed below:

Directly Position One or More Profiles

When you click the "+" button for positionings, you can choose to select a candidate or a resource directly by typing their name if you know it!

You can choose to notify the opportunity manager, and/or the candidate or resource manager before clicking position.

Using BoondSuggest

BoondSuggest is here to help you save valuable time filtering your consultants and here’s how to use it to get the most out of it!

  • Qualify your opportunity so that BoondSuggest can retrieve the elements.

  • Click on "position" to start the process.

  • Choose "Profile suggestion": it already tells you the number of candidates and resources found!

  • Edit key words and filters as needed. The filters bar uses your default BoondSuggest configuration but you can save new criteria to apply only to this opportunity.

  • Easily navigate between Candidates and Resources.

  • Select the consultants you want and click the "position" button in the workflow to return to the opportunity and work on your commercial projection!

Our Classic Search System

You can also choose to use our classic search by clicking here:

In this case, you will need to start from scratch with the key words and filters applied to the search.

Note

You have the option to notify the candidate/resource manager and the opportunity manager that a positioning has been made.

Qualify a Positioning

To perform advanced qualification of a candidate or resource positioning.

Opportunities > Opportunity card > Positionings tab > click on the positioning line

  1. Enter the project's estimated dates. You will see the number of working days for the period appear to the right of the project dates

  2. Enter the daily sale rate

  3. Enter the number of days you plan to sell

  4. If you have positioned a resource, the tool should by default suggest their ADC (Average Daily Cost) to calculate the intervention cost for the period: (Nb Billed Days + Nb Free Days)*ADC. If no ADC appears by default, it means your resource does not have an HR contract (see the "Administrative" tab of the resource card). If you have positioned a candidate, you must manually define their ADC (Average Daily Cost) to calculate the intervention cost for the period: (Nb Billed Days + Nb Free Days)*ADC.

By qualifying the positioning, you will be able to view the "Financial overview" of the opportunity.

Here is additional help explaining how it works.


Understand the Financial Overview of an Opportunity

Opportunities > Opportunity card > Positionings tab

  • Net Revenue (excl. VAT) = Daily sale rate (excl. VAT) of the resource x Number of billed days

  • Costs (excl. VAT) = Average Daily Cost (ADC) of the resource x Number of billed days

  • Margin (excl. VAT) = Net Revenue (excl. VAT) – Costs (excl. VAT)

  • Profitability = Margin (excl. VAT) / Net Revenue (excl. VAT) x 100

IMPORTANT!

You can choose to correlate/uncorrelate the positionings on the opportunity. This option allows you to indicate which positionings to include or not in the financial overview.

The checkbox below the financial overview of the opportunity card allows you to replace the projected revenue of the qualified opportunity on the "Information" tab with the total revenue of the correlated positionings.
