Case Study: SmartLynx Airlines cuts recruitment times with HireVue

SmartLynx Airlines cuts recruitment times

SmartLynx Airlines, an ACMI airline based in Latvia, was scaling quickly after COVID and needed to recruit for many open roles across its growing fleet and cargo operations. Its small HR team was spending too much time on phone screens and back-to-back interviews, so the company turned to HireVue to make hiring more efficient and scalable.

HireVue provided video interviewing that let SmartLynx screen candidates faster and move only the strongest applicants to live interviews. The result was a major reduction in recruiting time: early-stage hiring was cut from up to 6 weeks to 1 week, saving recruiters 2–4 hours per day, expanding candidate reach to 66 countries, and achieving an 88.4% candidate CSAT score.
