How the desk runs
One platform, from the first call to the invoice.
Source across every desk
Shutdowns repeat on a cycle, so the engineers who worked the last one are the obvious first call. 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 engineer you covered a shift with is the same candidate the perm desk puts forward.
Book the one who is ready
A client needs a maintenance engineer for a shutdown. 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 client
Timeline puts the day's bookings across all clients in one view. What the client is judging is whether the engineer arrives ticketed and inducted for the plant, and the gaps show before anyone has to ring.
Timesheets and approval
Clients approve online and scanned timesheets are read automatically, feeding straight into pay and billing.
Every desk in one live view
Day-rate PAYE, umbrella and limited arrangements, from approved hours. Dashman puts fill-rate by client, contractor margin and the disciplines you are short of side by side — targets against actuals, without a spreadsheet in the middle.
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.

Questions
Multi-Desk Engineering recruitment software questions.
Can one system run perm, temp and contract engineering 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 engineer and client, 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 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.
