Founder & Director
Simone Young

Simone Young

Founded in 2007, Youngbrook Recruitment was built on a clear objective: to create a recruitment business grounded in accountability, integrity and genuine care for both clients and candidates.

With over 22 years’ experience in the recruitment industry, Simone continues to lead from the front, remaining deeply involved in recruitment and selection across labour hire, contract and permanent appointments. Her experience spans Trades, Supply Chain & Logistics, Office Support, Sales, Marketing, Accounting, Aged Care and Senior Appointments.

Simone is known for her disciplined, hands-on approach and her commitment to robust recruitment methodologies. Her reputation for delivering consistent outcomes has seen Youngbrook secure major project work and long-term partnerships built on trust and performance.

Simone works closely with clients and candidates across Brisbane and regional Queensland. She also supports national recruitment requirements when needed. Known for her accessibility and clear communication, Simone remains available beyond standard business hours when urgent hiring needs arise.

Candidate experience is a cornerstone of Simone’s leadership. She has set a benchmark for engagement, responsiveness and follow-through, driven by a personal standard of returning every call and email promptly. This approach has helped rebuild trust with disengaged talent and set a higher standard of care within the recruitment process.

Simone’s leadership philosophy is simple:

Do what you say you will do, protect your client’s investment, and
treat people with respect.

The ongoing success of Youngbrook Recruitment is built on long standing client partnerships and the dedication of both the internal team and field workforce. Simone openly acknowledges that these people are the true strength of the business.
