How the desk runs
One platform, from the rate to the self-bill.
Find who is coming free
Shutdowns repeat on a cycle, so the engineers who worked the last one are the obvious first call. 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 maintenance, design and project engineers. What the client is judging is whether the engineer arrives ticketed and inducted for the plant, 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
Day-rate PAYE, umbrella and limited arrangements, produced from approved hours, with self-bill documents drawn from the same figures and the client invoiced in the same run.
Margin against forecast
Dashman shows fill-rate by client, contractor margin and the disciplines you are short of.
Checks and clearances
Qualified and inducted before the placement starts
Qualifications, tickets and inductions sit on the worker record with expiry alerts, so the desk can see who is genuinely ready for the job in hand.
How documents and expiry work- Professional and trade qualifications with expiry alerts
- Site and plant inductions recorded against the placement
- Right-to-work documents with expiry alerts
- References confirmed on the worker record

Questions
Contract Engineering 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. Day-rate PAYE, umbrella and limited arrangements 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 engineering placement need?
Qualifications, tickets and inductions sit on the worker record with expiry alerts, so the desk can see who is genuinely ready for the job in hand. The desk holds professional and trade qualifications with expiry alerts, site and plant inductions recorded against the placement, right-to-work documents with expiry alerts, references confirmed on the worker record.
