Seniors are involved sometimes. I was given the option of which staff to keep and what staff to drop.

Client owner (partner or senior manger) will "suggest" who I should bring. If said staff is unavailable I'll pick whoever the scheduler say is free and has cheaper rate. Sometimes repeat clients will request for specific managers too, or get mad if we send them a staff right out of school...

Our group actually does scheduling meetings with managers and up for chunks of time (9/30s, busy season, etc) They try to find the fine line between client needs, manager desires, and personnel's interest. Seniors normally get some type of say on who the staff is once the seniors are all allocated to their jobs.
