Case Study: Specialist Recruitment Agency Staffing Support
Client Challenge
A mid-sized technology recruitment agency in Old Street experienced the simultaneous resignation of two senior consultants and a period of extended sick leave for a team leader. With critical roles to fill for major clients and a quarterly target at risk, they needed immediate, skilled interim staff who could hit the ground running without a lengthy induction.
Quick Placement Solution
Within 24 hours of the initial call, we presented a shortlist of three pre-vetted 360° IT recruitment consultants, all with proven billing records in the London tech market. We also supplied a temporary recruitment administrator to manage the increased onboarding and compliance workload. One consultant started the following morning, with the other two commencing within 48 hours.
Result
The interim team successfully managed the existing client portfolio, secured two new placements within the first fortnight, and provided stability during the transition. The temporary administrator ensured compliance was maintained flawlessly. The client subsequently converted one of the temporary consultants to a permanent employee and retained our services for ongoing flexible staff augmentation.
"Quick Placement didn't just provide CVs; they provided a fully operational interim team that understood our sector and our pressures from day one. Their speed and quality of service were instrumental in navigating a crisis period."
