Access your database securely from anywhere.
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
Track every conversation.
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.
Keep the right people in the loop.
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 what you need, fast.
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 records the way you work.
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 complete candidate records.
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 NotesConnect your website to live vacancies.
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. Share it across social media, use it as the jobs page on your website, 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.
Keep tasks, interviews and reminders visible.
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.
Track performance in real time.
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 every consultant who helped close the deal.
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 where it saves time.
Recruit So Simple includes AI tools that support common recruitment tasks without taking control away from your team. Generate job descriptions, draft interview questions from client and candidate perspectives, summarise long CVs, and review candidate matching scores.
Preview candidate matchingMulti-post to hundreds of job sites.
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 and retention under control.
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.
