How the desk runs

One platform, from the first call to the invoice.

  • Source across every desk

    Technicians move between dealer groups in a small local market, so your own database is usually a better first call than an advert. One shared CRM, switchable between perm, temp and contract, with LinkedIn profiles coming into the record in a click.

  • One record, three placement types

    A temp booking today and a permanent shortlist tomorrow run on the same record — the technician you covered a shift with is the same candidate the perm desk puts forward.

  • Book the one who is ready

    A dealership is two technicians short for Monday. Booking Desk shows who is available and cleared, so it is filled on the call, and permanent offers are tracked on the same record.

  • Today, across every dealership

    Timeline puts the day's bookings across all dealerships in one view. What the dealership is judging is whether the technician can work unsupervised on the bay from day one, and the gaps show before anyone has to ring.

  • Timesheets and approval

    Dealerships approve online and scanned timesheets are read automatically, feeding straight into pay and billing.

  • Every desk in one live view

    PAYE, AWR and holiday pay, with umbrella for contract technicians, from approved hours. Dashman puts fill-rate by dealership, revenue by desk and the qualifications you are short of side by side — targets against actuals, without a spreadsheet in the middle.

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.

Questions

Multi-Desk Automotive recruitment software questions.

Can one system run perm, temp and contract automotive desks?

Yes. All three placement types sit on one shared record, and the desk switches between them without re-keying the candidate or the client into a second system.

Do the desks share the same database?

One CRM holds every technician and dealership, so a candidate placed by the temp desk is the same record the perm desk shortlists from.

How is pay handled across the desks?

PAYE, umbrella and limited arrangements all run from the hours approved on the timesheet, through one approved workflow, into invoicing.

Can we see every desk together?

Dashman shows temp fill-rate, permanent fees and contract margin side by side in one view, rather than a report per desk.

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.
