Fast Facts: Our London Recruitment Service
Case Study: Professional Services Recruitment Support
Client
A mid-sized London law firm undergoing rapid expansion.
Challenge
Their in-house HR team was overwhelmed by the volume of hiring for legal secretaries, paralegals, and business support roles. They needed immediate, skilled support to maintain hiring quality and speed.
Solution
Quick Placement provided two experienced Recruitment Coordinators on a temporary basis to manage the end-to-end candidate scheduling, communication, and onboarding administration. We also supplied a Talent Sourcer to build a pipeline for hard-to-fill specialist roles.
Result
Within two weeks, the firm's time-to-hire was reduced by 40%. The internal HR team could focus on strategic initiatives. One of the temporary coordinators was offered a permanent position after a 3-month trial, demonstrating the effectiveness of our temp-to-perm model. The firm has since engaged us for subsequent hiring waves.
"Quick Placement didn't just send CVs; they understood our culture and the specific pressures of legal recruitment. Their coordinators integrated seamlessly with our team from day one, and the sourcer delivered candidates we hadn't been able to find ourselves. It was a true partnership."
— Head of HR, London Law Firm
