Who is free, right now
A client needs a maintenance engineer for a shutdown. Booking Desk shows which engineers are available, cleared and suitable, so the booking is filled on the call.
The list worth ringing first
Shutdowns repeat on a cycle, so the engineers who worked the last one are the obvious first call. Plain-English search runs across everyone you have placed, and flags a duplicate before anyone adds a new record.
Checks beside the button
Before anyone is committed the desk shows whether the engineer can be paid, where they stand on AWR, and how the rate compares. What the client is really judging is whether the engineer arrives ticketed and inducted for the plant — so the check happens before the booking, not after.
Timesheets without the chasing
Clients approve online through branded portals, and scanned or photographed timesheets are read automatically and queued for review.
Pay the week, bill the client
Day-rate PAYE, umbrella and limited arrangements, run from the hours that were approved — and the client invoiced in the same straight-through run.
Where the week stands
Dashman shows fill-rate by client, contractor margin and the disciplines you are short of, in one live view rather than a spreadsheet rebuilt every Friday.
Qualified and inducted before the placement starts
Qualifications, tickets and inductions sit on the worker record with expiry alerts, so the desk can see who is genuinely ready for the job in hand.

Temp Engineering recruitment software questions.
How quickly can engineering shifts be filled?
Start from the open job or from the engineer. The desk shows who is free, who is booked elsewhere, and who is cleared, so the booking can be made on the call rather than after a round of phoning.
What happens when a booking is cancelled at short notice?
Cancel the job or the booking with the date and the reason attached. The history stays on the record, so the whole team has the same answer when the client asks about it weeks later.
Does it handle AWR and holiday pay?
PAYE, AWR and holiday pay run from the hours approved on the timesheet, and umbrella and limited arrangements run for contractors on the same approved workflow.
Can we see a whole week of bookings at once?
Timeline shows the week read down the people or down the jobs: who is on what, for which client, on which day, with the unfilled gaps visible.
What checks do engineering placements need?
Qualifications, tickets and inductions sit on the worker record with expiry alerts, so the desk can see who is genuinely ready for the job in hand. The desk holds professional and trade qualifications with expiry alerts, site and plant inductions recorded against the placement, right-to-work documents with expiry alerts, references confirmed on the worker record.
