Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about working as a Cabinet Maker / Installer through Quick Placement? Find quick answers below.
Temp-to-perm is a very common pathway in the London construction sector. It means you start the assignment as a temporary worker paid through Quick Placement. This gives both you and the employer a trial period (typically 8-13 weeks) to ensure it's a good fit. If both parties are happy, the employer will then offer you a direct, permanent contract. It's a low-risk way to secure a permanent position with a company you've already proven yourself to.
Absolutely. While the primary site location is London EC1, many of our clients have projects across Greater London. If you have reliable transport, we regularly have needs in surrounding boroughs. We also advertise roles specifically in other areas, such as solar roofer jobs in Ilford or labourer roles in Birmingham. Mention your location flexibility in your application.
The projects vary widely, which is part of the appeal. You could be working on:
• High-end residential: Bespoke kitchens, walk-in wardrobes, and media units in luxury apartments and houses.
• Commercial fit-outs: Reception desks, office breakout furniture, and retail display units.
• Hospitality sector: Bars, restaurant joinery, and hotel bedroom furniture.
This variety ensures your work is never monotonous and massively builds your portfolio. Our clients range from small bespoke workshops to large main contractors, similar to the clients we serve for kitchen fitter roles.
Working with an agency like Quick Placement offers several advantages:
• Access to More Roles: We have multiple clients and often get notified of vacancies before they are advertised publicly.
• Negotiation Power: We negotiate pay rates on your behalf based on market knowledge, often securing better terms.
