How the desk runs
One platform, from the rota to the weekly pay run.
Set the pattern once
A client needs a platform engineer on a three-month contract. Nights, alternate weeks, particular days to a month end — set the pattern once and the run is created rather than entered shift by shift.
Work the whole run together
A big order arrives as a run of shifts, not one booking. Work all of them together, with filled, working and open counters moving as the desk covers them.
Break and fatigue rules applied
The fatigue, break, recent-hours and duration checks you have configured sit alongside the booking, so a engineer is not rota'd into a pattern that breaks them.
Today, across every client
Timeline puts the day's shifts across all clients in one view. What decides whether the contract is kept is whether the engineer is productive in the stack from week one, and the gaps are visible before a manager has to ring.
Hours in, week paid
Umbrella and limited arrangements, with PAYE where the engagement requires it, built from the hours actually worked once the client has approved them.
Cover and fill-rate
Dashman shows contract margin by placement, extensions due and where assignments stall.
Checks and clearances
Status settled before the contract starts
Contract status, certifications and screening sit on the worker record, so the position is evidenced when the client or the accountant asks.
How documents and expiry work- Contract status and IR35 position held with the placement
- Certifications with expiry alerts
- Right-to-work documents with expiry alerts
- References confirmed on the worker record

Questions
Shift IT recruitment software questions.
Can it handle repeating rota patterns?
Set the pattern once — nights, alternate weeks, particular days to a month end — and the run of shifts is created from it rather than entered one at a time.
Are break and fatigue rules enforced?
The fatigue, break, recent-hours and duration checks you configure sit alongside the booking, so the desk sees the conflict before a engineer is committed to it.
How are a run of shifts filled quickly?
Bulk shift copy and the Booking Desk work a whole run together, with filled, working and open counters moving as the desk fills them.
Does approved time feed payroll directly?
Approved hours build the weekly pay queue and carry into invoicing in the same run, rather than being re-keyed into a separate payroll system.
What checks does a IT placement need?
Contract status, certifications and screening sit on the worker record, so the position is evidenced when the client or the accountant asks. The desk holds contract status and IR35 position held with the placement, certifications with expiry alerts, right-to-work documents with expiry alerts, references confirmed on the worker record.
