## Quick answer

For staffing agencies, start with an **assignment-renewal desk queue** for the staffing account recruiter. Prepare renewal questions before end dates while preserving the boundary between a request and agreed terms. Righthand can help prepare the administrative draft from inputs you authorize; staff review its evidence and decide the next action.

## Three desk tasks

### 1. List upcoming assignment ends

Retain accepted dates and responsible recruiter references.

### 2. Prepare document gaps

Name missing administrative inputs without determining candidate eligibility.

### 3. Draft two-sided follow-ups

Keep client and candidate questions separated by audience and review owner.

## Who owns each handoff?

| Input | Proposed assistant deliverable | Responsible person |
| --- | --- | --- |
| approved assignment export and client requests | assignment-renewal desk queue with record references | staffing account recruiter |
| Missing or contradictory fields | Exception and source-linked question | Named source owner |
| Approved next step | Reviewable coordination draft | Staff authorize external action |

## Worked example: three records, three outcomes

The following inputs and outputs are synthetic, not customer results. Read them as a test packet for this desk.

| Illustrative source row | Useful worked output |
| --- | --- |
| Assignment S-71: end date Friday; client requests extension but recruiter has not approved terms. | List extension review needed rather than silently replace the original assignment end. |
| Assignment S-72: supplied document list lacks one requested administrative item. | Prepare a precise document question without declare the candidate ineligible. |
| Assignment S-73: two placements share a candidate name but different client references. | Retain both assignment IDs and route unmatched correspondence for recruiter review. |

**Correction check:** Resolve assignment identity before preparing client or candidate drafts. An extension request is not an agreed engagement, and paperwork preparation does not authorize selection or compliance judgments.

## Complete first-run brief

> Prepare an assignment-renewal desk queue from approved assignment export and client requests. Cover October 12–16, 2026; use America/Los_Angeles for date cutoffs. Include these source fields: assignment ID, client ID, candidate reference, end date, requested extension, document owner. Trigger: Monday at 9 AM. Output: a source-linked Markdown draft in my private review thread, grouped by next action and owner. Reviewer: the staffing account recruiter. Flag missing fields or conflicting versions. Keep candidate decisions, compliance interpretation, pay, and negotiation with authorized staff. Do not send messages, change source records, or spend money. Result check: Match assignment dates and requested extension states to the recruiter’s source.

Replace the illustrative dates and source locations before running this task. Use an approved extract when a native connection and its exact actions have not been verified; the extract remains a snapshot, not live synchronization.

## First-week check and failure boundaries

Pilot one recruiter’s assignments ending next week and review the queue before the desk’s client renewal calls. A candidate can have multiple assignments. A client extension request may still await terms and recruiter approval. Keep candidate decisions, compliance interpretation, pay, and negotiation with authorized staff. When an input changes, rerun the affected comparison and retain its source reference; do not overwrite the authoritative operational record with a draft.
