Which desk is which
What each desk runs, and what it checks first.
| Desk | What it runs | Checked before a placement | Pay and bill |
|---|---|---|---|

| Permanent | Vacancy to placement fee on one job record | Plant and equipment licences and references, before the offer goes out | Placement fee on the placement, with the start date and rebate period attached |
| Contract | Rates, status, extensions and self-bill | Plant and equipment licences, plus contract status and IR35 position on the placement | Self-bill from approved hours; umbrella and limited arrangements |
| Shift | Rota patterns, bulk shifts and break rules | Plant and equipment licences, plus fatigue and break rules across the rota | Weekly pay queue built from the hours actually worked once approved |
| Executive Search | Retained assignments, from market map to offer | Plant and equipment licences at shortlist, with the assignment's confidentiality settings | Retainer milestones tracked against the assignment, then the placement fee |
| Multi-Desk | Perm, temp and contract on one shared record | Plant and equipment licences once, on the record every desk shares | PAYE with AWR and holiday pay, run weekly from approved hours |

Questions
Supply Chain & Operations recruitment software questions.
Which supply chain and operations desk type do I need?
Pick the desk that matches how you place operatives: Temp — shifts and cover, booked on the call and paid weekly; Permanent — vacancy to placement fee on one job record; Contract — rates, status, extensions and self-bill; Shift — rota patterns, bulk shifts and break rules; Executive Search — retained assignments, from market map to offer; Multi-Desk — perm, temp and contract on one shared record. All six run on the same record, so an agency can start with one and add another without a second system.
What checks does a supply chain and operations placement need?
Licences, inductions and PPE sign-off are held against the worker with expiry alerts, so the desk can see who is genuinely ready for the shift. The desk holds plant and equipment licences with expiry alerts, depot and site inductions recorded against the placement, PPE sign-off before the worker goes on site, right-to-work documents with expiry alerts.
Can one system run all our supply chain and operations desks?
Yes. Temp, perm, contract, shift and executive placements sit on one shared record, so a operative the temp desk has booked is the same candidate the perm desk puts forward, with nothing re-keyed.
How is pay handled for supply chain and operations operatives?
PAYE with AWR and holiday pay, run weekly from approved hours, run from the hours approved on the timesheet, with the depot invoiced in the same straight-through run.
