About

Ian Monk and Nick Shaw founded Spotted Zebra in 2020 because hiring had not kept up with how jobs were changing. Its platform assesses candidates on skills, with AI-guided interview frameworks, instant transcription and skills-based evaluations built on its own role skills profiles.

Spotted Zebra raised £7.7m in Series A funding in 2023. Its assessments have been validated across nearly one million candidates, and clients include Walt Disney, Virgin Media O2, Paramount and Merlin Entertainments.
