Software Development Start-up Set to Shake-up Recruitment Industry Following £120k Investment

▤ Summary

David Copple, founder and CEO, said: “We have experienced a thrilling first 18 months in business, launching an innovative video based recruitment solution that is already being used by both local companies and household names across the UK. “The funding via Northstar Ventures allows us to grow that team, particularly on the sales and marketing side, whilst pushing ahead with some exciting product developments.” James Foster, Investment Manager at Northstar Ventures, said: “The Shine offering plays into the hands of current trends amongst large firms, which are changing recruitment processes to focus on communication skills. By conducting interviews via a video format first, employers are able to assess how well candidates present and communicate answers at an earlier stage of the process. “We have been impressed by both the technical skills of David’s team, and their vision – the technology is designed to be incredibly scalable and the features will be applicable to almost any sector that is looking to recruit. “Ultimately, this partnership is as much about opening doors and pulling together a strong board as it is about financial investment, and I’m already looking ahead with excitement to the next stage of our journey.”
