Functionality
When comparing video interview providers, consider aspects such as branding, customisation, candidate experience and engagement.
Beyond that, the platform as a whole will differ between competitors. At Shine, we offer on demand video interviewing, live video interviewing, assessments and scheduling. We’re built on an open API, so we can also integrate with ATS vendors!
Artificial Intelligence
AI is the biggest buzzword in recruitment at the moment. But in reality, it’s not always suitable for everyone.
There is always mixed reviews regarding AI powered assessments, and still a lot of scepticism regarding its reliability – often ending in overpaying for an underutilised software solution,
Values Fit
We like to take a different approach to assessments here at Shine. We believe in hiring for values fit.
Our platform allows you to benchmark the values of your team and assess your candidates against these. We can even help you identify pain points through a detailed culture profile of your organisation, and even facilitate culture transformation.
The Costs
It can be difficult to compare providers on cost when most don’t publish their prices online. What we do know, based on client feedback, is that Shine offers a very quick return on investment – with no hidden costs for set up and training.
Here at Shine, our annual subscriptions start at £1,800. Above that, we tailor a bespoke package to suit any recruitment needs, from the smallest to largest of organisations.
Security
The majority of video interview providers rely on Adobe Flash Player when the platform is being used from a browser. Flash poses so many security risks to its users that as of 2020, it will no longer be supported.
Here at Shine, our platform is built from the ground up using HTML5. We don’t require any additional plugins and it’s extremely secure, giving you the most reliable experience.
One-Way Video Interviewing
Simply set up your roles and questions, and invite your candidates.
Review and score candidate videos, and share with your hiring managers!
Live Video Interviewing
Invite candidates to live interviewing, not just standard video conferencing.
You can record and share interviews to review later!
Values Based Recruitment
Get your existing team to complete the values exercise,
benchmark your candidates against these to find true cultural fit!
Interview and Event Scheduling
Set up your face-to-face interview or assessment centre details,
and simply invite your shortlisted candidates to self schedule!
Reed Specialist Recruitment, and in particular my Division Reed Education, have been working with Shine now since early 2017. It was apparent from the first demonstration of the platform and system that the product was high quality and very user friendly. Not only that, Shine have been above and beyond in accommodating our bespoke requirements and the service and support has been second to none. Needless to say we have seen outstanding results from our partnership with Shine for our business and our clients and candidates
