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.
Fabulous software that really helps us stand out from the crowd. Great team who are passionate and focused.
I like that it gives our candidates more of an opportunity to portray who they are as a person.
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.
Malfunction when there is an overload of participants. Expensive to purchase from the buyers for the first time.
Hard to try to persuade people to video themselves. Log in button is at the bottom of the web page.

SBG - Tech Academy Graduate Programme

Reviewed 3 years ago

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.

Vendor response

Shine Interview Software Review

Reviewed 3 years ago
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.

Vendor response

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

Reviewed 3 years ago

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.

Vendor response

Hi David, A big thank you for taking the time to write us such a glowing review. It's great to hear that you've been able to use the platform in both traditional and bespoke ways - it's always fantastic to know that you're able to tailor it to your needs and use it for such different projects! We fully appreciate the challenges that come with candidate engagement and completion rates, so we're pleased to hear that you're happy with the service provided to help improve these. For many, video interviewing is still a new concept, but over time this will become more and more accepted, meaning these challenges will feel less and less challenging! Thank you again, we really appreciate your comments.
