Recruit So Simple

What Recruit So Simple does

Recruit So Simple Ltd is a UK-based, privately held software company founded in 2011 in Farnham that sells a cloud-based recruitment CRM to small and mid-sized recruitment agencies, with internal HR/recruitment teams as a secondary segment. The platform consolidates candidate management, client and contact tracking, vacancy management, CV storage, communication (email and SMS), pipeline visualisation, document compliance and team reporting inside a single product, augmented by a geographic map view of candidates, clients and vacancies with drive-time and distance filters.

Technically, the product is built around a unified database of candidates, clients, contacts and vacancies and layers three AI-driven capabilities on top: a recommendation engine that ranks existing candidates against new vacancies using skills, experience and preferences; NLP-based CV parsing that extracts contact details, work history, skills and qualifications from uploaded CVs and produces AI-generated candidate summaries; and a Boolean search engine supporting AND/OR/NOT, exact phrases, wildcards and grouped logic. The platform also exposes a workflow automation builder with pre-configured templates for onboarding, interview follow-ups, placement check-ins, right-to-work document requests and client feedback, and connects to three job-distribution partners — Broadbean, LogicMelon and idibu — for job board posting.

Commercially, Recruit So Simple operates a product-led growth model with a self-serve free trial accessible globally via its website and converts users into a single flat-rate subscription of £50 per user per month that includes every feature with no tiered gating, no long-term contracts and no disclosed add-on fees. The company has no outside funding, no parent company, no disclosed M&A and a team of 1–10 employees, and it relies on content marketing, SEO and third-party review platforms (4.9/5 across 33 reviews on Reviews.co.uk) rather than a direct sales force to acquire customers.
