SBG - Tech Academy Graduate Programme
Comments: I'm so pleased that we discovered Shine last year. The platform has added so much value to our recruitment process. It meant last year we could close applications early as we were able to shortlist a group of high calibre candidates quickly. It also importantly resulted in recruiting 80% female students to our tech programme as it provided us with an opportunity to dig deeper into candidates core capabilities. The customer service that we have received from representative has been exceptional.Representative is always on hand to help, she is knowledge and ultimately a real pleasure to work in partnership with.
Pros:
As a fast paced, people-centric business its important for us to make our recruitment process as personable and efficient as possible. Thats why we have chosen to work in partnership with Shine over the last couple of years. The platform allows multiple hiring managers to review candidates at their convince meaning the selection process can be opened up to a diverse recruitment group whilst still being managed in a timely manner. It also allows us to get a good flavour of an applicants personality which can normally be really difficulty to get obtain from a CV.
Cons:
In all honestly I don't think I can say that there is something that I least liked about the software. For SBG it's has done and is doing what we need it to do.

Shine Interview Software Review
Pros:
Using Shine Interview software has improved the candidate journey for us at SEAO Talent Partners. It allows candidates to answer questions at a time convenient to them and in an environment they feel comfortable. Often when using the video interview as a stage within the recruitment process it replaces the need for a first stage interview. Therefore it takes pressure off both the candidate and hiring manager to meet face to face for a first stage interview, saving time and money for both parties. Also, using the Shine Interview software I have found that it helps save time as it shows who is serious about the position they have applied for.
Cons:
I have found the Shine Interview software to be very user friendly and have had minimum issues when asking my candidates to use it. Many candidates aren't use to a video interview being a part of the recruitment process so therefore I have found some resistance when asking candidates to complete it and I have even had some candidates refuse to do it. However, for those that do complete it have found it to be a overall positive experience.

Hi Heather, Thank you for taking the time to leave us your honest feedback, we really appreciate your lovely comments. We're so pleased to hear that the Shine platform works so well for the team at SEAO! We fully appreciate that there can sometimes be some resistance from candidates. For many, video interviewing is still a relatively new concept. Over time, it will become more and more accepted as it becomes the 'norm' in many recruitment processes, meaning that there will be less resistance over time. If there's anything the team here at Shine can do to help you improve your engagement and completion rates, please let your client success manager know as we'd be more than happy to help!
Using Shine technology to differentiate
Comments: We have used the software for various recruitment projects. Overseas recruitment is the area I have seen the most success, using Shine to market candidates to prospective clients.
Pros:
Shine software is easy to use and flexible which has offered us the opportunity to use it in traditional and bespoke ways. We have used Shine is particular recruitment drives and seen stronger and more profitable results from doing so.
Cons:
I don't have anything negative to comment upon. The challenge is always candidate engagement and getting a high completion rate. The team in Shine work closely with us to improve this on an on-going basis.

Comments: As an Global Organisation it has been useful for setting up first stage interviews, as it can be difficult time wise to get everyone in a room at once. There is also the benefit of not having our candidates travel to our Liverpool site to interview. We have also been using this as a alternative to phone screening, this benefits the candidate that they can do it in their own time.
Pros:
The options to customise the software, although we have not fully used this function we hope to at some point in the future. Email to inform when a candidate has completed the interview.
Cons:
Originally I struggled with setting a role up, however this as now been explained to me. I think when setting up a role I often have to keep clicking next to get to the page I am looking for. If their was a side bar where you could jump to the page you are looking for this would be helpful. For example adding questions, you need to skip 3 pages before getting to this page.

Hi Hollie, Thank you for your lovely review and taking the time to leave us your honest feedback! If you would like any help or support with our customisation options in future, your client success manager will always be on hand to help you make the most of these features. In relation to finding the third page for setting up questions, at the top of each page there is a "jump to step" option, followed by the page numbers. You can use these to easily jump from one section to another when necessary! Hope this helps. Thanks again.
Great
Comments: I have had a very good experience with Shine. The candidates that use Shine always feel nervous at first but like it afterwards (everyone likes to talk about themselves) and once I send it out to decision makers it always gives them the edge over other candidates.
Pros:
I really like that you have the ability to retry your answers to ensure you make the best video possible to 'sell yourself', plus you can review your answers.
Cons:
I've had people mention that it can take a while to submit their answers and also that they have not had the chance to review answers.

Hi Ashley, Thank you for your review - it's great to know you're seeing value in our platform. Candidates are given the option to review their answers when you have set up retries for that question. If there are no retries enabled, then the candidate will not be able to review their answer. Hope this helps!
Improved our recruitment process
Comments: Traditionally we did telephone interviews which takes a lot of time to set up and do. This product allows candidates to answer the questions in their own time there is even an app. It has reduced time for our recruitment team having to screen candidates. It has hugely helped develop our brand and improve our recruitment process.
Pros:
Relatively easy to use. Easy to send out multiple emails to candidates. The app is great. Ability to promote our brand and upload videos.
Cons:
The programme takes a little getting used to but once the customer service team (who are superb) talked me through it was easy.
