Unseen Group completes ninth acquisition with North East software specialist
Manchester-based software and employability solutions provider, Unseen Group, has completed the acquisition of Shine Interview, a software provider for video interviewing, for an undisclosed sum.
The addition of Sunderland-based Shine marks Unseen’s ninth acquisition to date as it continues to expand its range of products.
Founded in 2016 by David Copple, Shine’s video recruitment platform has enabled employers, such as Nissan, Post Office and the Royal Navy, to screen high volumes of candidates remotely and more efficiently.
Unseen Group CEO, Zac Williams, said; “Shine is a fantastic product that will further enhance our product offering to educators and employers.
“Asynchronous video interviewing is an essential step in many large scale recruitment processes, enabling talent teams to screen increasing volumes of candidates with greater efficiency and fairness. We’re excited to be bringing another great solution to new and existing employer partners as we continue to unlock unseen potential in early careers and beyond.”
The Unseen Group will look to enhance Shine’s offering with additional software development resources deployed to expand candidate reporting capabilities and to integrate the platform with other group products such as digital assessment centre software, TopScore.
David Copple said: “I am incredibly proud of what we have built at Shine over the past nine years, transforming the hiring process through innovative video technology and helping candidates in over 85 countries. The Unseen Group felt like the natural home for our business, and this move marks an exciting new chapter for the company.”
“This acquisition is also testament to the hard work of our team and the trust of our clients over many years and I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has been part of our journey.”
