How the desk runs
One platform, from the first call to the invoice.
Source across every desk
Plants run to a production cycle, so the operatives who ran the last campaign are the first list to work. 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 plant needs six machine operators for a new line. 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 plant
Timeline puts the day's bookings across all plants in one view. What the plant is judging is whether the operator is ticketed for the machine before the shift, and the gaps show before anyone has to ring.
Timesheets and approval
Plants 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, with umbrella for contract technicians, from approved hours. Dashman puts fill-rate by plant, cover by line and where the week is short side by side — targets against actuals, without a spreadsheet in the middle.
Checks and clearances
Ticketed and inducted before the shift
Machine tickets, inductions and PPE sign-off are held against the worker with expiry alerts, and confirmed before a booking is committed.

Questions
Multi-Desk Manufacturing recruitment software questions.
Can one system run perm, temp and contract manufacturing 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 plant, 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 manufacturing placement need?
Machine tickets, inductions and PPE sign-off are held against the worker with expiry alerts, and confirmed before a booking is committed. The desk holds machine and plant tickets with expiry alerts, line and plant inductions recorded against the placement, PPE sign-off before the worker goes on site, right-to-work documents with expiry alerts.
