The Fleet-based job site CV-Library has acquired rival Brilliant Jobs, a platform that connects applicants with employers using cutting-edge AI and programmatic technologies.

CV-Library has set aside more than £8 million for acquisitions and platform changes over the next few years, with the first step - integrating Brilliant Jobs - set to be completed and accessible to the market in late October 2022.

The move is part of CV-Library's larger aims to provide a worldwide programmatic job advertising solution across existing and new countries and territories.

Andrea Olivari, Global Partnerships Director at CV-Library had this to say: "We're thrilled to welcome the Brilliant Jobs team to the CV-Library Group. Their insight on this platform and support of our acquisition plans have proved pivotal and, together, we will continue to develop our programmatic offering in our existing markets and beyond."

Chee Ho Wan is the Head of Campaign Delivery at Brilliant Jobs. He said this about the purchase: "We were impressed by the experience and ambition of the CV-Library team and their drive to expand internationally. Our programmatic technology is an excellent complement to the knowledge and skills that CV-library and Resume-Library have accrued, and we'll be bringing unique and competitive offerings in terms of both performance and scale to the recruitment space."

Founder and CEO of CV-Library Lee Biggins said: "This acquisition provides us with the technology to bring a true programmatic solution to the market, with a product mix that suits every hiring model. I am personally very excited about this step forward in our vision to become a leading job board globally, as well as the possibilities it brings for us as a modern technology business.”
