Shine Interview review
A flexible video interview platform with live and one-way workflows, starting at £95 monthly.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Shine Interview is a recruitment video platform for in-house recruiters, recruitment agencies, and hiring managers. It combines one-way interviews with preset questions and candidate responses, live video interviews, candidate self-scheduling, recording, scoring, comments, and collaborative shortlisting. Candidates can complete one-way interviews at a convenient time, while hiring teams can review, share, and compare responses. Custom branding, candidate-facing messaging, reusable question sets, randomisation, and ID checking extend the platform beyond basic video calls.
Pricing is structured around company size and hiring volume. The Lite plan costs £95 per month and includes ad-hoc recruitment, unlimited users, branding, live interviews, self-scheduling, and API integrations. Pro costs £349 per month and is positioned for small and growing companies, with unlimited users, branding, live interviews, self-scheduling, and API integrations. Scale costs £995 per month and is aimed at high-volume and enterprise use, with the same listed core capabilities. Enterprise is designed for bespoke needs and adds unlimited active jobs and unlimited one-way interviews alongside unlimited users, branding, and API integrations.
Platform access is broad: Shine Interview is available on the web, iOS, Android, and through a REST API. Its strongest fit is for teams that need both asynchronous candidate screening and scheduled live interviews, particularly when structured review and candidate self-scheduling matter. The platform is less suited to buyers seeking a free entry tier or a lower-cost path for occasional hiring. Teams should also weigh the jump from Lite to Pro and Scale against their hiring volume. Choose Shine Interview when one-way and live workflows need to sit in the same recruitment process; consider alternatives when simple video calls or minimal monthly spend are the priority.
