How the desk runs
One platform, from the first call to the invoice.
Source across every desk
Volume work repeats with the season, so the operatives who worked last peak are the first to ring for this one. 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 operative you covered a shift with is the same candidate the perm desk puts forward.
Book the one who is ready
A site needs twelve production operatives for a night run. 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 site
Timeline puts the day's bookings across all sites in one view. What the site is judging is whether the whole shift turns up inducted and hygiene-certified, and the gaps show before anyone has to ring.
Timesheets and approval
Sites approve online and scanned timesheets are read automatically, feeding straight into pay and billing.
Every desk in one live view
PAYE with AWR and holiday pay, run weekly from approved hours, from approved hours. Dashman puts fill-rate by site, cover by line and where the week is short side by side — targets against actuals, without a spreadsheet in the middle.
Checks and clearances
Inducted and certified before the shift
Food and plant environments gate on hygiene certification and induction. Both sit on the worker record with expiry alerts, checked before a booking is committed.

Questions
Multi-Desk FMCG recruitment software questions.
Can one system run perm, temp and contract FMCG 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 operative and site, 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 FMCG placement need?
Food and plant environments gate on hygiene certification and induction. Both sit on the worker record with expiry alerts, checked before a booking is committed. The desk holds food hygiene certification with expiry alerts, site and line inductions recorded against the placement, right-to-work documents with expiry alerts, PPE sign-off before the worker goes on site.
