Unseen Group completes acquisition of business psychology experts, Sten10

Manchester-based software and employability solutions provider, Unseen Group, has acquired Sten10, experts in people assessment and business psychology, for an undisclosed sum.

The deal is the eighth acquisition by the Unseen Group as it continues to expand its portfolio offering of tech and consultancy services to customers and partners in the employability and talent sectors.

Sten10, which is also based in Manchester, enables employers to achieve their people strategies through business psychology consultancy, bespoke assessments, and psychometric tests.

Founded in 2012 by Ben Williams, Sten10 has worked with a range of private and public sector employers, including the Cabinet Office, PwC and Telegraph Media Group, designing assessments that measure skills, characteristics and behaviours when recruiting and developing talent.

Zac Williams, CEO of Unseen Group, said: “We’re really excited to bring Sten10 into the Unseen Group and this deal further strengthens our assessment and selection offering.

“Ben is an incredibly talented business psychologist with an equally impressive team behind him, and together we share a strong track record of supporting employers of all sizes in developing and revolutionising their people and hiring processes.

“I’m looking forward to facing the opportunities ahead and realising how we can build on our work and grow together.” 

Ben Williams, founder and Managing Director of Sten10, said: “For over a decade we have designed best-in-class bespoke psychological assessments for the effective recruitment and development of people at work.

“The opportunity presented by working alongside and in-step with other Unseen Group technology platforms, such as Evolve Assess and TopScore, is hugely exciting and introduces countless opportunities for us in the assessment and development space.”

He added: “I would like to personally thank all Sten10 team members, our partners and our clients past and present for being part of our journey so far. I am very optimistic about what we can achieve as part of Unseen, and the step change this represents for what we are able to offer going forward.”
