Give your team access to the same live database, wherever they are.
Recruit So Simple runs entirely in your browser, so there is nothing to install and no local software to maintain. Your team can access candidates, clients, contacts and vacancies from any device with an internet connection.
Recruit So Simple works across desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile, with SSL encryption, daily backups and redundant servers. Hosted on Amazon Web Services infrastructure, the platform provides a fast, reliable and secure foundation for your recruitment database.
Talk to our team
Stop losing client and candidate context in individual inboxes.
Send and receive emails directly from the CRM, with every message logged against the right candidate, client, contact or vacancy. Recruit So Simple works with providers such as Microsoft 365, Gmail and IONOS, as well as SMTP services like SendGrid for bulk marketing email.
Reusable email and SMS templates, mail merge and automation help keep communication consistent. MailDrop lets you forward CVs from your inbox into the database, where AI-powered CV parsing can create the candidate record automatically.
Bring colleagues into the record instead of passing context around.
Use Mentions in journals to notify colleagues, link related candidates, clients, contacts or vacancies, and keep important context connected.
Mentioned colleagues receive an email and on-screen alert, while shared journal entries can be found from every assigned record.
Find useful records without starting every search from scratch.
Search candidates, clients and contacts using any combination of keywords, job titles, skills, tags and location. Save your most-used searches and filters so the searches you rely on are ready when you need them.
For location-based recruitment, postcode radius search supports UK postcodes and US ZIP codes. CV and document search is powered by AI parsing, helping you search large volumes of uploaded CV content.
Organise candidates around the work your team actually does.
Tags are custom keywords you can assign to candidates, clients, contacts and vacancies to make searching more precise. Add tags manually or apply them automatically when a CV is parsed, helping you quickly find records by skills, qualifications and other attributes.
Groups give you another way to organise records, whether you are building a call list, a marketing campaign or a shortlist of favourites. You can email, text and search any group when you need to act on it.
Turn CVs into candidate records without retyping the basics.
Drop in a CV and Recruit So Simple extracts contact details, employment history, skills and qualifications, then creates an AI summary for the candidate record. Tags identified in the CV can be applied automatically. CVs can also arrive via MailDrop, bulk import, website applications, Broadbean, Idibu or LogicMelon.

AI Summary
Copy to NotesKeep website applications connected to the CRM.
Add a single line of code to your existing site with the Website Integration Module, and candidates can search live vacancies and apply directly. If you have a web developer, the advanced integration gives them more control over the styling. Applications import automatically into your candidate database.
Your subscription also includes a Job Board: a standalone web page for advertising vacancies. Use it as the jobs page on your website, link to it from campaigns, or run it on its own. Candidates can search, favourite and apply for jobs, and every posted vacancy is prepared for Google for Jobs.
If your existing website runs on WordPress, our free WordPress plugin gives you another simple option: add a searchable Recruit So Simple jobs page to your site while continuing to manage vacancies and applications from the CRM.
Make the next action visible before it gets forgotten.
Create tasks linked directly to candidates, clients or contacts, and set reminders for interviews, calls or other time-sensitive activity. Tasks can be assigned to specific colleagues, making team workload easier to manage.
Tasks and interviews appear on the built-in calendar and can sync automatically with Google Calendar or Outlook. Setting an expiry date on a document can also trigger tasks and reminders, including reminders sent to the candidate or contact if required.
Know what is driving progress, not just activity.
Real-time reporting covers the full recruitment pipeline, including CVs sent, interviews arranged, placements made and revenue generated. Filter by date range, consultant, client or team to compare individual and collective performance.
Set targets for consultants or teams and monitor progress live. Live leaderboards can be projected on office screens to keep activity visible, while fee rates help calculate the value of your pipeline at any moment.
Credit shared work without messy reporting afterwards.
Split Fees make shared placements simple. Divide a fee between consultants by percentage, then let Recruit So Simple handle the reporting.
Each consultant gets the right share of revenue and placement credit across dashboards, goals, leaderboards and reports, while your company totals stay accurate.
Use AI for real recruitment work, not generic demos.
Recruit So Simple includes AI tools that support common recruitment tasks without taking control away from your team.
- Match candidates to live vacancies
- Generate job descriptions
- Draft interview questions
- Summarise long CVs
- Review candidate matching scores
Post jobs widely without leaving the recruitment workflow.
Recruit So Simple integrates with Broadbean, Idibu and LogicMelon, making it easier to post jobs across hundreds of job sites2.
Applications can be imported back into Recruit So Simple for review. You can also choose to import only applications that have been pre-rated, helping your team focus on the most relevant candidates first.
Keep consent, retention and follow-up actions visible.
Dedicated tools support day-to-day GDPR processes, including consent management and data retention. The Info Request tool helps keep candidate consent up to date, recording responses and triggering follow-up actions in real time.
Recruit So Simple is built to support GDPR compliance. Infrastructure is provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS), which maintains internationally recognised security certifications and accreditations.
