How the desk runs

One platform, from the first call to the invoice.

  • Source across every desk

    Legal desks place the same people repeatedly across matters, so your own record is the fastest 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 lawyer you covered a shift with is the same candidate the perm desk puts forward.

  • Book the one who is ready

    A firm needs a paralegal for a disclosure exercise. 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 firm

    Timeline puts the day's bookings across all firms in one view. What the firm is judging is whether the lawyer is admitted, conflict-free and ready for the matter, and the gaps show before anyone has to ring.

  • Timesheets and approval

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

  • Every desk in one live view

    PAYE for fixed-term cover, with umbrella and limited for day-rate lawyers, from approved hours. Dashman puts assignment progress, placement fees and where offers stall side by side — targets against actuals, without a spreadsheet in the middle.

Questions

Multi-Desk Legal recruitment software questions.

Can one system run perm, temp and contract legal 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 lawyer and firm, 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 legal placement need?

Practising status and conflict position sit on the candidate record, so a placement is put forward on evidence rather than assumption. The desk holds practising certificate status with expiry alerts, conflict checks recorded against the placement, right-to-work documents with expiry alerts, references confirmed on the worker record.
