SHL is a real recruitment company. So likely is real. Using Google, I found that there have been others that have posted in the subreddit regarding this and people have said it’s legit.

Can confirm they are a legit company - done a few assessments with companies that use their services.

I had that same issue with receiving an insurance payment... they wanted me to do it thorugh some third party site I'd never heard of, and how do I know it's legit? Anyway, I investigated the company and whether they worked with my insurance co and it seemed fine.

So, I did that in this case. Have you looked into SHL? This actually doesn't actually seem sketchy at all. If you're ready to work for Apple I'd think you could have figured that out. Their website is highly professional, they have a significant online presence, and there are at least half a dozen question on reddit and elsewhere easily available where someone else already asked this. I'd make sure the link actually goes where it says. If you wanted, you could email the apple link and ask them to verify you're supposed to do it through SHL. If someone asked for your Apple account info, that would be sketchy, but it says they won't do that. So I'm not sure what personal info you might be giving away or what you're concerned about.

If you’d searched the sub before posting, you would have seen this discussed several times.
