How the desk runs
One platform, from the cover call to the invoice.
Who is free, right now
A client needs someone to start on Monday. Booking Desk shows which candidates are available, cleared and suitable, so the booking is filled on the call.
The list worth ringing first
A generalist desk lives on its own database, so plain-English search across everyone you have ever placed is the first move. Plain-English search runs across everyone you have placed, and pulls a profile from LinkedIn into the record in a click.
Checks beside the button
Before anyone is committed the desk shows whether the candidate can be paid, where they stand on AWR, and how the rate compares. What the client is really judging is whether the person fits the team as well as the job description — 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
PAYE, umbrella and limited arrangements from approved hours, 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, placement fees and margin across every desk, in one live view rather than a spreadsheet rebuilt every Friday.
Checks and clearances
On the record before anyone is placed
Whatever the desk is working on, the checks that gate a placement sit on the worker record with expiry alerts and are confirmed before anyone is committed.

Questions
Temp Generalist recruitment software questions.
How quickly can a generalist shift be filled?
Start from the open job or from the candidate. 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 does a generalist placement need?
Whatever the desk is working on, the checks that gate a placement sit on the worker record with expiry alerts and are confirmed before anyone is committed. The desk holds right-to-work documents with expiry alerts, references confirmed on the worker record, qualifications and certifications with expiry alerts, AWR position visible at the point of booking.
