He regularly shares insights on: - Speed-to-candidate and its commercial impact - Voice AI adoption in recruitment workflows - Candidate experience in high-volume hiring - Operational efficiency and recruiter productivity Simon’s approach is grounded in real-world data, live deployments, and continuous iteration, positioning him as a credible voice in the future of recruitment technology and AI-driven talent engagement.

Work Experience

Founder & CEO at VoiBo

Sep 2024 – Present

After years in recruitment business ownership and implementing cutting-edge technology, I launched VoiBo, the first commercially available, multi-capability inbound and outbound Voice AI agent built specifically for recruiters. The future of recruitment doesn't wait on hold. VoiBo is changing how recruitment businesses handle communication, altogether. Now our AI Phone agents can do some of the heavy lifting, alongside your team. Our powerful suite of AI voice agents is purpose-built for recruiters, designed to transform candidate engagement, consultant productivity, and first-response speed. Whether it's inbound, outbound, screening, scheduling, or qualifying: VoiBo handles it all, over the phone. A True Disruptor in Recruitment Traditional processes rely on voicemails, missed calls, delayed responses, and overloaded teams. That's friction your candidates and clients can feel, and your competition can capitalise on. VoiBo flips the script. Applicants are called within 60 seconds of applying. Calls are answered and assisted 24/7, and transferred internally during hours. Messages are taken, transcribed, and routed instantly to the right team member. High-value candidates are fast-tracked straight to recruiters. Your brand is represented with precision, warmth, and professionalism. You never miss a call, lead, or opportunity — ever again. VoiBo is a trading name of Tech Bake Ltd
