Introducing our April intake Trio

Today, at Simpson Judge sees the beginning of 3 new trainees, as they start their journey in our 360-recruiter training academy.  Our April intake trio is made up of Cait Woodrow-Smith joining Legal North West team, Oscar Scott joining our London Finance team, and finally Martyna Rakoczy joins our Yorkshire Executive Support team.

The 360-Recruiter Training Academy was cultivated post-pandemic for several reasons, we have a passion for driving quality within the recruitment industry, we realised that to meet our ambitious growth targets there was a significant skills shortage and fundamentally we have a desire to support the next generation of recruitment professionals into a career in the sector.

Our unique training programme is a comprehensive and exciting mix of practical and theoretical learning elements. Our best-in-class training programme incorporates sessions delivered by expert external trainers, on the job learning with mentoring and support from our leading recruitment professionals to assist and develop our trainees on their academy journey.

Our training programme has evolved since its inception, which has been largely due to the feedback and engagement from several of our team that are academy stories.

Our first trainee was Marcus Polledri, who joined Simpson Judge post Covid on the Kickstarter programme, last month he was promoted to Business Manager of our London Finance Team.

‘We have built our business on providing an outstanding service to our clients through unrivalled knowledge and the drive to outperform and deliver on our promises. Through our rapid growth it’s been made apparent that there’s a skill shortage and that many people in the industry aren’t true 360 recruiters. We made the decision that the only way to assure that all our team meet the quality standards we expect was to create our own recruitment training academy and Marcus is a fantastic example of this.’ said Rob Simpson, Founder of Simpson Judge.

Ric Seear, Business Manager of Accountancy Practice is one of our rising Stars.

“It’s not about who knows the boss the longest or who’s the friendliest! You put the numbers on the board you are going to get promoted quick. I got promoted twice in my first few weeks; they made a big thing of it as the fastest two promotions in the business. Just shows someone can come in with no recruitment experience, if people are onboarded in the right way that we have the platform here for people to do really well.” said Ric.

With every new intake of our 360-recruiter training academy there is a promise of growth and new beginning which is an exciting time and is key to the continued success and rapid growth of Simpson Judge. We believe that our culture and core values make Simpson Judge an outstanding environment for both career development and personal growth, we provide a unique opportunity to make a difference in your career, across the business and for our clients – you are in the driving seat! So, if you think you have what it takes to become a Simpson Judge star, get in touch today and apply to be part of our next academy intake! (Which takes place in May).
