Experience & Industry Involvement

Experience has shown us that when recruitment agencies and consultancies are making the decision of which supplier work with, it is often the relationship that makes the difference.

In our "Meet The Team" page, you can get to know the key individuals on a more personal level, but this section is designed to highlight the level of experience, industry and business, and commitment we have to the recruitment industry, so that you know when you work with us you are in safe hands.

Simplicity provides support to the recruitment industry wherever possible.

You will often bump into us at networking events around the country with The Recruitment Society, The Recruiters Network or the National OnLine Recruitment Awards (NORAS) - which Simplicity has also supported.

Here is what the two executive directors say

Tom Atkinson, whose expertise is in quality management, says "We work with our Customers via robust, slick and easy to use processes, all online, and we invite any of our Customers to offer advice for improvement. That means we not only have the brain power of Simplicity staff to keep things simple and effective but that of hundreds of others in the recruitment industry too. With that kind of experienced brain power input behind us it is easy to see how we get to be - and continue to be - the best."

David Thornhill, whose focus is delivering customer centric service and has worked as Operations Director for a £multi-million construction recruitment agency, says "We never forget two things. Firstly, that our success depends upon our Customer's success so naturally, we always want our Customers to achieve their goals. Secondly, there may well be difficult times for our Customers, and it is our commitment to work through these times together, so that we can enjoy the good ones"
