PDQ Staffing - Closed

PDQ Staffing – Closed refers to the legacy operations of PDQ Staffing following its 2024 acquisition by Ascend Staffing. Prior to integration, PDQ Staffing maintained a strong Texas footprint with 11 locations and delivered high-volume staffing solutions across light industrial, clerical/administrative, and non-clinical hospital environments. As part of the transaction, the CPI – Houston-Dallas and Performance Search Group businesses were also included, broadening the combined offering to cover contingent, contract, and direct-hire needs for employers of all sizes. Post-acquisition, PDQ’s branches, teams, and client programs have been aligned under Ascend Staffing’s nationwide platform, which supports thousands of active employees across 13 states and 49+ branch locations. Clients that previously partnered with PDQ now benefit from Ascend’s scaled recruiting engine, proven onboarding workflows, safety-first culture for light industrial environments, and responsive service infrastructure designed to deliver reliable talent at pace. The consolidated organization continues to serve distribution centers, manufacturing sites, and production facilities with dependable temporary and contract labor while also supplying administrative support teams and non-clinical hospital staff for scheduling, admissions, patient transport, and related roles. For job seekers, the transition preserves access to steady opportunities, streamlined application and assignment management through Ascend’s candidate portal, and clear pathways from temporary to long-term placement. For employers, it brings a larger candidate pool, standardized compliance practices, and consistent fill rates across multi-site and seasonal needs. While the PDQ Staffing brand is closed, its legacy lives on through the expanded reach, resources, and capabilities of Ascend Staffing, ensuring businesses in Texas and beyond continue to receive fast, flexible, and quality-focused workforce solutions.
