Glasgow-based company Candidate.ID, which clients include BUPA, IQVIA, Thermo Fisher Scientific and Nielsen, has recently received £630,000 new funding from Blackfinch. 

 

Founded in 2015, Candidate.ID specialises in recruitment software specifically designed to provide recruiter daily hot leads based on candidates' interactions with a company's online content. It helps fast-track the process of finding and hiring the best possible candidates for both mid-large employers and specialist staffing companies. Its software replaces a company's customer relationship management system to provide enhanced recruitment performance. 

 

Adam Gordon, co-founder and CEO of Candidate.ID, said: "The team at Blackfinch Ventures really believe in our people, technology and business plan. We are excited about working with them and accelerating our mission to make recruitment more effective for every employer and a better experience for every candidate." 

 

Dr Reuben Wilcock, Ventures Director at Blackfinch Ventures, added: "Recruitment has seen significant disruption in recent years as technology solutions automate processes, increasing productivity. We chose to invest in Candidate.ID because we believe in the team's vision for automated talent recruitment and a more positive experience for job seekers.

 

"We were also impressed with the recently re-launching platform and how the company has already secured global traction."
