FAQs
Who do I contact about a requirement?
Please contact Marta and the Malikshaw team directly to discuss new requirements, extensions or changes to existing assignments.
We will normally arrange a short Microsoft Teams discussion to fully understand the requirement, agree timelines and confirm the recruitment approach
How quickly can resource be provided?
CVs are typically provided within 72 hours unless otherwise agreed within the contract or requirement.
Timelines can vary depending on onboarding, approvals and specialist skill requirements; however the service is designed to move quickly and keep hiring managers updated throughout the process.
Can existing or nominated workers be used?
Yes. Where appropriate, nominated or known workers can be introduced into the process and managed through the agreed onboarding and approval route.
What locations does the service support?
The service supports recruitment activity across all SLC locations, including hybrid and remote working arrangements where appropriate.
Are assignments Inside IR35?
Yes. All assignments delivered under the service are managed as Inside IR35 engagements.
What happens during onboarding?
All onboarding is completed electronically using Amiqus.
Workers securely upload identification and screening information directly into the onboarding process, including information required to support BPSS checks.
Amiqus generates a structured PDF audit report which supports completion of the onboarding and screening process.
Hiring managers are kept updated throughout onboarding so there is visibility of progress toward start date readiness.
How are workers supported during assignments?
Each worker is allocated to a Malikshaw consultant who provides support throughout the assignment.
This includes:
• onboarding support
• timesheet and approval queries
• assignment changes or extensions
• general worker engagement and welfare
Marta and the wider Malikshaw team remain available throughout the engagement to support both workers and hiring managers.
What happens if there is a worker performance concern?
If there are any concerns regarding performance, attendance or conduct, please contact the Malikshaw team directly.
We will work with hiring managers and workers to understand the issue quickly and agree an appropriate next step or resolution.
How do timesheets and approvals work?
Workers submit weekly timesheets online through Timesheet Portal and hiring managers receive email approval notifications.
Once approved, invoicing, reporting and supplier payment workflows are managed automatically through the system.
Timesheet Portal can be accessed securely at:
malikshaw.timesheetportal.com
How are invoicing and payments managed?
Timesheets are processed weekly each Wednesday.
Once approved, invoicing and supplier self-billing are generated electronically to support accurate and efficient payment processing.
Workers are paid weekly following the agreed payment cycle
Can specific reports be requested?
Yes. A wide range of reporting information is available to support budgeting, forecasting, spend tracking and governance requirements.
Please speak to the Malikshaw team if specific reporting views or information are required.
How is compliance managed for umbrella workers?
Where umbrella services are required, Malikshaw works with a carefully selected group of approved FCSA and SafeRec-accredited umbrella providers to support consistency, compliance and worker experience.
What if priorities or timelines change?
Please call or email Marta and the Malikshaw team directly.
We will work with you to adapt the process and support urgent or changing requirements wherever possible.
How can feedback be provided?
We positively welcome feedback from both workers and SLC staff.
Feedback requests may be issued when workers start assignments, during active engagements and when assignments end.
General feedback and suggestions are welcomed at any time and help us continuously improve the service.
