What Unseen does

Unseen Group (legal entity Gradtouch Ltd) is a Manchester-headquartered talent technology platform that consolidates candidate engagement, psychometric testing, digital assessment centres, video interviewing, onboarding, and employee development tools into a unified offering for large-scale employers. The company has assembled this portfolio through 11 acquisitions since 2019, including Pagoda Projects (international internships), TopScore (digital assessment centres), Evolve Assess (psychometrics), Sten10 (business psychology), Shine Interview and Oneway (video interviewing), Meet & Engage (onboarding and chatbot), Gradspace (coaching), and Seenit (employee-generated video content with AI Co-Producer). Underlying technology includes a proprietary orchestration engine, bi-directional ATS integration layer with an adapter pattern, an AI Co-Producer for content generation, AI video scoring, and bias/adverse impact monitoring across assessments.

Unseen generates revenue primarily through annual SaaS subscriptions sold either as an integrated platform or as individual products, supplemented by managed recruitment support services (Talent Stack: screening, coaching, assessor provision) and bespoke assessment design consultancy (Sten10). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows a quote-based enterprise sales motion with dedicated account executives and BDRs targeting FTSE 500 and UK blue-chip employers including Amazon, Vodafone, BT, Deloitte, KPMG, NatWest, British Airways, Rolls-Royce, Royal Mail, and the NHS. The company also operates a university channel via Gradcore, with 80+ university and 5,000 employer partners serving early-careers hiring. Reported revenue is approximately £10m against a stated £40-£50m medium-term target, with reported 2023 revenue of £7.5m (up 78% from £4.2m in 2022). The company is privately held following a June 2024 investment from Pelican Capital with a multi-million-pound acquisition facility from ThinCats.
