Scottish firm Willo has appointed a recruitment technology veteran as its VP of partnerships to kick off a ‘pivotal year’.

The Glasgow-founded HR tech scaleup said Jim Berrisford will target global partnerships. The firm recently secured £3 million investment from Mimecast founder Peter Bauer.

Willo, which provides video-led candidate screening and verification tools available to employers in all 195 countries, has reported 64-fold revenue growth since launch and counts brands including easyJet, Toyota, Samsung, DPD Group and the NHS among its customers.

The business has also moved into new UK offices in Glasgow and Manchester.

Berrisford, who has worked most recently as a consultant, brings more than two decades’ experience across the talent market, having worked in agency recruitment, in-house talent acquisition and, for the past several years, senior commercial and partnerships roles on the vendor side with firms including Vonq, Reezomo, and a business ambassador for a UK Autism charity.
