How the desk runs

One platform, from the cover call to the invoice.

  • Who is free, right now

    A laboratory needs an analytical chemist for a validation run. Booking Desk shows which scientists are available, cleared and suitable, so the booking is filled on the call.

  • The list worth ringing first

    Validation and campaign work repeats, so the scientists who ran the last one are the obvious first call. 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 scientist can be paid, where they stand on AWR, and how the rate compares. What the laboratory is really judging is whether the scientist is inducted and competent on the method — so the check happens before the booking, not after.

  • Timesheets without the chasing

    Laboratories approve online through branded portals, and scanned or photographed timesheets are read automatically and queued for review.

  • Pay the week, bill the client

    PAYE for fixed-term cover, with umbrella and limited for contract scientists, run from the hours that were approved — and the laboratory invoiced in the same straight-through run.

  • Where the week stands

    Dashman shows fill-rate by laboratory, contractor margin and the disciplines you are short of, in one live view rather than a spreadsheet rebuilt every Friday.

Questions

Temp Scientific recruitment software questions.

How quickly can a scientific shift be filled?

Start from the open job or from the scientist. 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 laboratory 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 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.
