Willo Raises £3M To Tackle AI-made Job Apps With A ‘Blue Tick’ For Credentials

This marks Willo’s largest single funding round, bringing total investment to over £5.9 million. Bauer has contributed more than £3.7 million in the past 18 months and will support the company’s US expansion.

Founded by Scottish entrepreneurs Euan Cameron, Andrew Wood, and Hamish Livingston, Willo is a remote-first candidate screening platform helping thousands of employers streamline hiring through structured video and audio interviews that reduce bias and accelerate talent discovery.

Willo is now launching Verified Profiles, aggregating third-party data to automatically verify identity, education, work history, and skills, tackling the rising challenge of AI-driven application fraud.

Employers tell us they are inundated with AI-generated CVs that are hard to verify and review. That’s making it increasingly difficult for genuine, qualified candidates to stand out,

said Euan Cameron, Willo’s co-founder and CEO. He added that the round, secured on strong terms in a challenging market, is a major vote of confidence in Willo’s direction and opportunity.

The funding will drive Willo’s expansion into North America and fast-track the launch of Willo Verified Profiles, a credential-verification tool created to tackle AI-generated application fraud in hiring.
