How the desk runs
One platform, from the first call to the invoice.
Source across every desk
Validation and campaign work repeats, so the scientists who ran 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 scientist you covered a shift with is the same candidate the perm desk puts forward.
Book the one who is ready
A laboratory needs an analytical chemist for a validation 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 laboratory
Timeline puts the day's bookings across all laboratories in one view. What the laboratory is judging is whether the scientist is inducted and competent on the method, and the gaps show before anyone has to ring.
Timesheets and approval
Laboratories 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 contract scientists, from approved hours. Dashman puts fill-rate by laboratory, contractor margin and the disciplines you are short of side by side — targets against actuals, without a spreadsheet in the middle.

Questions
Multi-Desk Scientific recruitment software questions.
Can one system run perm, temp and contract scientific 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 scientist and laboratory, 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 scientific placement need?
Qualifications and laboratory inductions sit on the worker record with expiry alerts, and are confirmed before anyone is committed. The desk holds professional and academic qualifications with expiry alerts, laboratory inductions recorded against the placement, right-to-work documents with expiry alerts, references confirmed on the worker record.
