What Vizzy does

Vizzy is a UK-based talent acquisition platform, operated by the legal entity Thinking Sky Blue Limited, that replaces traditional CVs with multimedia professional profiles. Candidates build shareable profiles containing video, images, written responses, custom prompts, project showcases, education, and integrated psychometrics, accessible via persistent URLs that can be embedded in CVs, LinkedIn, and email signatures. An Explore feature provides AI-assisted discovery and ranking, allowing opted-in candidates to be surfaced to recruiters and matched to roles on an internal jobs board; the platform is explicit that final hiring decisions remain with human recruiters.

The product surface comprises four components: the Vizzy Profile (core), the Explore discovery and matching layer, a Psychometrics assessment, and an internal Jobs Board supporting both direct applications and redirect flows to third-party ATS processes. The platform operates as a two-sided marketplace: free for individual candidates and paid for business customers (employers) accessing hiring tools, candidate search, and recruitment features; a secondary sponsored/featured job-listing placement stream is also referenced.

The go-to-market is hybrid: product-led growth on the candidate side via self-serve sign-up and word-of-mouth referrals, paired with direct enterprise sales to large employers such as Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Virgin Group, Marriott, Disney, British Airways, WHSmith, PizzaExpress, and Tapestry. Marketing relies on earned media (Yahoo Finance, The Guardian, Metro, Monocle) and organic social (Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok), supported by a marketing technology stack including Segment/Twilio, Hotjar, Klaviyo, Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, and Cookiebot. The company was founded in 2020, launched publicly in late 2023, has a team of 1-10, and is headquartered in London, having raised a £3.65M seed round in April 2025 led by Adjuvo (with Oberon Investments Group) and a cumulative £7M+ as of March 2026.

Broad incumbents

• LinkedIn: LinkedIn is the dominant professional networking and recruiting platform with built-in profile, video, and assessment features. It competes broadly with Vizzy for employer recruiting spend and candidate attention, but operates as a horizontal incumbent rather than a CV-disruption specialist.
• Indeed: Indeed is one of the largest global job search and recruitment platforms. While focused on traditional CV/resume aggregation, it increasingly adds employer branding and screening features that overlap with Vizzy's candidate-discovery value proposition.
• Greenhouse: Greenhouse is an established applicant tracking system (ATS) used by many enterprise employers including those in Vizzy's customer base. While it focuses on structured hiring workflows rather than multimedia profiles, it competes for the same enterprise HR-tech budget.
• ZipRecruiter: ZipRecruiter operates a large two-sided job marketplace connecting employers with candidates via AI matching. It competes with Vizzy for SMB and enterprise employer recruitment spend and candidate acquisition channels.

Direct peers

• HireVue: HireVue provides video interviewing, AI-driven candidate assessments, and structured psychometric-style scoring for enterprise hiring. It directly overlaps with Vizzy's psychometric and AI matching functionality and targets similar enterprise HR buyers.
• Workable: Workable is an ATS and recruiting platform with a built-in candidate marketplace and AI sourcing features. It targets a similar mid-market employer segment and offers profile-based candidate discovery functionality competitive with Vizzy's Explore feature.

Emerging players

• Handshake: Handshake is a career platform focused on early-career and university talent, with rich profiles and employer matching. It shares Vizzy's emphasis on showcasing candidate potential beyond traditional CVs and targets a similar young candidate demographic.
• Wellfound (AngelList Talent): Wellfound is a startup-focused talent marketplace emphasizing candidate profiles and employer discovery. It shares Vizzy's two-sided model and pitch that profiles convey more than a traditional CV, though it concentrates on venture-backed tech employers.
• Eightfold AI: Eightfold AI offers AI-driven talent intelligence, candidate matching, and skills profiling for enterprise HR. It overlaps with Vizzy's AI Explore matching and psychometric-style candidate insights at the enterprise tier, though focused on larger-scale deployments.

Regional players

• CV-Library: CV-Library is a UK-focused job board and CV database with broad employer adoption. As a UK regional player with similar candidate-supply dynamics, it is a direct competitor for Vizzy's domestic enterprise and candidate funnel.
