About Quick Placement: Your Trusted Emergency Staffing Partner
When You Need Staff Yesterday, We Deliver Today | Serving UK Businesses Since 2010
"When You Need Staff Yesterday, We Deliver Today"
Trusted by 500+ UK businesses for emergency staffing since 2010 - Quick Placement has built a reputation as the UK's most reliable emergency staffing agency, delivering qualified temporary workers when businesses need them most.
About Quick Placement: The Urgency Problem We Solve
We know that sinking feeling when staff call in sick at 6 AM... When your production line stops, your care home is understaffed, or your restaurant faces a busy weekend without enough kitchen staff. That's exactly why Quick Placement exists - to solve the urgent staffing crises that threaten business operations every day. Since 2010, we've specialized in emergency staffing solutions that get qualified workers to your business within hours, not days.
Our Founding Story: Born from Real Business Pain
The Problem We Discovered:
In 2010, our founder Sarah noticed a critical gap in the UK recruitment market. While traditional agencies took weeks to fill positions, businesses were losing thousands of pounds every day due to unexpected staff shortages. A manufacturing plant missing just two workers could halt production worth GBP50,000 per day. A care home without night staff couldn't admit new residents, losing GBP3,000 per empty bed. These weren't staffing problems - they were business emergencies requiring immediate solutions.
Quick Placement was founded on a simple but powerful promise: when businesses need staff yesterday, we deliver today. Our journey began in a small London office with just three consultants and an ambitious goal - to revolutionize how UK businesses handle urgent staffing needs. We didn't just want to be another recruitment agency; we wanted to be the emergency service for workforce shortages.
ŸŽ¯ Our Mission
To eliminate the business disruption caused by unexpected workforce shortages through rapid deployment of qualified temporary workers across the UK.
Ÿ‘ Our Vision
To be the UK's most trusted emergency staffing partner, ensuring no business suffers operational losses due to urgent workforce needs.
š! Our Promise
Real people answering phones 24/7, qualified workers deployed within hours, and solutions that work when traditional recruitment fails.
What "Quick" Really Means in Our Name
The word "Quick" isn't marketing fluff - it's our operational DNA. When we say same-day staffing, we mean qualified warehouse operatives can be on-site within 2-4 hours. When we promise emergency response, we mean our 24/7 hotline +44 333 188 0008 connects you to a real recruitment consultant who can mobilize workers immediately, not an answering machine.
Real Speed Benchmarks:
- Average Response Time: 15 minutes from initial call to candidate matching
- Standard Deployment: 2-4 hours for general temporary workers
- Specialist Roles: 4-8 hours for skilled trades, receptionists, or technical positions
- Weekend/Holiday Cover: Same response times, 365 days per year
- Emergency Guarantee: If we can't deliver within agreed timeframes, there's no charge
