# Welcome to Allshore

What Allshore is, who this guide is for, and how the platform is organized.

Allshore is the operations back office for **vertical partner firms** — independent recruiting and consulting firms that run their whole engagement lifecycle on one platform: job requisition → candidate pipeline → placement → timesheets and client approvals → invoicing → payroll exports → margin.

## Who this guide is for

This guide is written for **partner teams** — the people who work at a vertical partner firm. In Allshore, your firm is a *tenant*: everything you see and everything you create belongs to your firm alone. Your staff hold one of two roles:

| Role              | What it means                                                                                                                                                                         |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Partner admin** | Full access, including money-final actions (approve/execute payroll, void invoices), sensitive reveals (payout details), credential verification, agent approvals, and configuration. |
| **Partner user**  | Day-to-day operations: clients, pipeline, roster, time, invoicing prep, reports.                                                                                                      |

Admin-only controls are always **visible but disabled** for partner users — if you can see a button you can't press, that's your cue to ask an admin, not a bug.

Consultants and your clients' contacts have their own, much smaller areas (the consultant workspace and the client portal). This guide covers them from *your* perspective: what you manage, and what they see.

## How the Partner workspace is organized

The navigation rail is a column of nine **apps**, in the order the work happens. Choose one and its screens appear beside it:

| App                | Screens                                                                       |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Home**           | Dashboard, Radar, Work                                                        |
| **Agent**          | Allie, Sub-agents                                                             |
| **CRM**            | All opportunities, Leads, Prospects, Companies, All clients, Client sign-offs |
| **ATS**            | Pipeline, Interviews, Resumes, Resume templates                               |
| **Contracts**      | All contracts, Documents, Document templates                                  |
| **HRIS**           | Roster, Org chart, Wellbeing, Survey responses                                |
| **Time**           | Team time, Invoicing, Expenses, Payroll, Margin, Reports                      |
| **Knowledge base** | Content, Groups                                                               |
| **Settings**       | Agents, Integrations, All settings                                            |

## Three boundaries to know from day one

1. **Allshore never holds funds or files taxes.** It computes, exports, and records — money moves on your own rails (bank, payroll provider, Stripe).
2. **Your clients never see pay rates, classifications, margins, other clients, or wellbeing data.** The client portal is hard-fenced to executed contracts, approvals, invoices, and compliance *status* only.
3. **No sourcing, and signing happens outside for now.** Allshore has no job boards and does not find candidates for you; its **Resumes** desk works on the resumes of consultants already on your roster. It generates and tracks your documents (MSA/SOW/NDA, offer letters), and countersigned PDFs are uploaded back. Sending a contract for signature from inside Allshore is built, but it is not switched on yet: for now a send comes back marked not sent.
