BUSINESS NEWS Simple Recruitment celebrates 10 years in business Midsomer Norton-based recruitment agency Simple Recruitment is celebrating its tenth birthday. The firm which was setup in 2009 by Jayla Wilcox specialises in temporary and permanent recruitment solutions across the industrial and commercial sectors, at all levels throughout Bath, Wiltshire, Somerset and North Devon. Simple Recruitment has found success investing in out of town, more rural locations. It’s first office opened in Midsomer Norton and nine years later the Bideford office followed. Where many recruiters are now stepping away from the high street, Simple is achieving success by investing in shop front offices. It has recently moved to South Road, just off the High Street. Jayla said, “Moving into the heart of Midsomer Norton is a strategic move for us. It’s a great location for candidates to pop in and chat to us and for being visible to new and existing clients. We also love being a part of the business community.” Setting up Simple Recruitment was a huge gamble for Jayla in 2009. She started the business when she was three months pregnant having previously worked for a large multi-national recruiter. Using her knowledge from seven years of working in the industry, Jayla put her experience to the test and is happy to say that each year Simple grows from strength to strength. Jayla said, “My founding principles were to provide a ‘simple’, cost-effective and timely recruitment solution for both client and candidate alike, where consultants listened to the needs and wants of each party, took the time to meet with those they worked with and abided by good old-fashioned values.
