How the desk runs
One platform, from the rate to the self-bill.
Find who is coming free
Technicians move between dealer groups in a small local market, so your own database is usually a better first call than an advert. The record tells you who is finishing and when, before the vacancy is even open.
Rate, margin and status
The charge rate, the pay rate and the margin sit on the placement, with the contract status and IR35 position recorded alongside them.
Brief that matches the work
Contracts here run on vehicle technicians, MOT testers and service advisors. What the dealership is judging is whether the technician can work unsupervised on the bay from day one, so that is what the submission has to evidence.
Extensions on the same line
An extension runs against the existing placement rather than a new one, so the rate history, the end dates and the whole assignment stay together.
Self-bill and contractor pay
PAYE, AWR and holiday pay, with umbrella for contract technicians, produced from approved hours, with self-bill documents drawn from the same figures and the dealership invoiced in the same run.
Margin against forecast
Dashman shows fill-rate by dealership, revenue by desk and the qualifications you are short of.
Checks and clearances
Qualified for the bay before the booking is committed
Technical qualifications and licences are held against the worker with expiry alerts, so the desk can see who is genuinely qualified rather than who is merely free.
How documents and expiry work- Technical and trade qualifications with expiry alerts
- Driving licence category where the role requires it
- Right-to-work documents with expiry alerts
- References confirmed on the worker record

Questions
Contract Automotive recruitment software questions.
How is IR35 and contract status handled?
The contract status and IR35 position sit on the placement alongside the rate and the margin, so the position is evidenced on the record when it is asked about. PAYE, AWR and holiday pay, with umbrella for contract technicians all run from the same placement.
Does it handle umbrella and limited contractors?
Both run from the hours approved on the timesheet, with self-bill documents produced from the same approved figures.
How are extensions tracked?
An extension runs against the existing placement rather than a new record, so the rate history, the end dates and the whole assignment stay in one line.
Can we see margin by placement?
Dashman shows contract margin against forecast by placement, consultant and client, without a spreadsheet in the middle.
What checks does a automotive placement need?
Technical qualifications and licences are held against the worker with expiry alerts, so the desk can see who is genuinely qualified rather than who is merely free. The desk holds technical and trade qualifications with expiry alerts, driving licence category where the role requires it, right-to-work documents with expiry alerts, references confirmed on the worker record.
