Stephen spends all day making placements
How do you spend your day?

Would you like better cash flow?
Do you want to grow your business and be more competitive?

Simplicity is expert at providing great cash flow, reduced risk, unique selling tools and more selling time for perm recruiters across the UK.

Finding funding solutions for a specialist permanent placement recruitment business is almost impossible, but with our 40 yrs of experience and knowledge of the industry, we have two great solutions that will help you grow your business.

Placing people takes time

We know placing the right people in the right jobs is tough at the best of times, but even more so in the current economic climate of restructuring, spending caps and cuts.

You can spend months finding that perfect candidate, wait for them to be offered and then accept. Then more time waiting before they even start as they work their notice, until, at last they start and you can think about getting paid for all your hard work.

Typically, you'll be raising your own invoices, maybe 14 day terms, and then receiving payment between 30 - 40 days, after you have wasted precious sales time chasing them.

Market changes

Winning new Clients is tough too, as their buying habits are changing. Cost and rebate periods seem to be the most important things in negotiations now and you need something special to stand out from your competition.

More and more consultancies are charging lower and lower fees, driving down the margins you can achieve and devaluing the professional service you provide. That's where our 12 month rebate solution comes in.

The 12 month rebate offer

You can tell your client that if you make a placement with them you will provide a 12 month rebate so they are protected against any potential financial losses they may incur should the candidate leave.

Our customers sell the rebate scheme as a reflection of their high level recruiting skills, so if a candidate resigns from the role they filled, then they haven't done their job well enough and will pay out a rebate.

Provided the Client pays to terms (30 days from date of invoice) and the candidate terminates;

If the Applicant leaves in the first month, you provide a replacement Applicant free of charge.

If the Applicant leaves in months 2 to 6, we repay 40% of the invoice value to you for your Client.

If the Applicant leaves in months 7 to 12, we repay 20% of the invoice value to you for your Client.

New opportunities

Our feedback tells us that talking to new and existing clients about the new 12 month rebate scheme has opened up doors that just would not open before. We have stories of how smaller specialist permanent consultancies have managed to get accepted onto large national PSLs (Preferred Supplier Lists) because they were able to offer something different to everyone else.

Increase your rates

This unique sales tool also gives you the edge in negotiations over fees, as you can sell standard terms on standard rates and look to increase your rates for the added value proposition a 12 month rebate delivers. So that this negotiation tactic is possible, we offer another 100% funding product for you to use too. Everything is exactly the same except you won't offer a 12 month rebate, you'll offer a standard discount guarantee;

Provided the Client pays to terms (30 days from date of invoice) and the candidate leaves for any reason;

• 0 to 4 weeks from date of Engagement = 100% (less a £50 administration charge)
• 5 to 8 weeks from date of Engagement = 50%
• 9 to 12 weeks from date of Engagement = 25%
• Call our sales team now to see how this can work for you. (link in here)

How does it work?

• You tell us who your client is, then forward us a copy of the relevant information we need to process the permanent placement.
• We carry out a credit check and arrange debt protection up to the advised credit limit.
• We contact your client to confirm the Applicant has started.
• We raise your invoice, in your name, with your VAT number and your logo on it.
• We send payment to you by BACS Wednesday, so cleared funds in your account Friday.
• We get on and chase the payments from your client.

That's it - SIMPLY that easy.

We will set you up with the two accounts, detailed below, and you are ready to start making placements and closing deals.

How much is this going to cost?

That's another great thing about working with Simplicity. We will not charge you a penny unless you are invoicing.

• No start-up fees. (Other providers charge between £250 - £700)
• No interest charges. (Other providers charge separate interest or discount fees)
• No credit check charges. (Other providers will charge you)
• No minimum monthly fees. (Other providers will charge you, even when you are not using the service)

Pay as you go invoicing

Once we have put everything in place for you, we just sit back and wait for you to put your first invoices through.

Simple charging structure

Our fee is a percentage charged on your NET weekly sales (before VAT is added) This is important, because most other providers charge on the GROSS weekly sales (after VAT is added) making them 20% more expensive once the VAT rise in January comes along.

The fees go down too! As your sales increase the fee rate falls , plus they won't go up during the length of the contract thats guaranteed.
