Vizzy raises £3.65m to reinvent the CV for a new generation of talent

A fast-growing talent platform already working with global brands such as Louis Vuitton, Virgin Group, and WHSmith has raised £3.65 million in seed funding to scale its recruitment solution for the next generation.

London-based Vizzy, which launched its platform to market in 2023, aims to overhaul the traditional CV format that has remained virtually unchanged for decades. The investment round was led by Adjuvo, with participation from a number of high-net-worth individuals and family offices.

Described as a “CV disruptor”, Vizzy allows candidates to create personalised, visually engaging digital profiles that highlight their potential, passions, and ambitions—offering an alternative to the conventional one-page résumé and cover letter that often fails to capture individuality.

Vizzy’s first client was British fashion house Burberry, which used the tool to refine its undergraduate hiring programme. Since then, the platform has gained traction with major brands including PizzaExpress, WHSmith, Virgin Group, and Louis Vuitton. Employers have praised the platform for delivering greater efficiency, stronger engagement, and access to a more diverse talent pool.

Chris Woodward-Jones, CEO and co-founder of Vizzy, said: “I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved in such a short space of time. Launching the full product just last year, it’s been rewarding to see how some of the world’s most recognisable employers are now rethinking how they assess candidates. We’re helping companies discover amazing talent that might otherwise have been overlooked—while saving them time and resources. This funding round will allow us to scale rapidly to meet increasing global demand.”

Mark Foster-Brown, CEO of Adjuvo, added: “At Adjuvo, we back transformative technologies, and Vizzy is a perfect example. It’s reinvented the CV for digital natives—breaking away from the static résumés of the past and enabling job seekers to tell their stories more authentically.

With an enormous market opportunity and a standout founding team, we’re thrilled to support Vizzy’s next phase of growth.”

Employers have been quick to endorse the impact of Vizzy’s approach.

Sarah Lock, Recruitment Lead at Virgin Group, commented: “At Virgin, we love to challenge the norm—and Vizzy’s fresh, disruptive approach to recruitment is exactly the kind of innovation we look for.”

Peter Kong, Head of Talent Acquisition for North Asia at Louis Vuitton, added: “Vizzy has delivered impressive efficiency gains. By allowing talent to showcase their abilities in a richer, more personal format, we’re now attracting candidates with high-impact skills more effortlessly. It’s been a game-changer.”

Vizzy’s founders believe that the shift away from outdated recruitment methods is long overdue. With AI now enabling candidates to apply for dozens of jobs simultaneously, hiring teams face increasing difficulty in spotting genuine engagement and standout potential.

By humanising digital applications and empowering young people to represent themselves beyond bullet points, Vizzy hopes to modernise recruitment at its roots—delivering benefits for both employers and job seekers alike.
