Case Study: Great Southern Bank achieves 43% faster time-to-hire and $40,000 annual savings with HireVue

How Great Southern Bank hires better talent more quickly with HireVue

Great Southern Bank, Australia’s leading customer‑owned bank, faced a competitive hiring market after rebranding and a surge in vacancies. With a small Talent Acquisition team and about 5,000 applications in 12 months—plus a 60% drop in application volume—the bank needed to speed up hiring, improve candidate experience, and increase the quality of hires while reducing screening burden on managers.

The bank implemented HireVue video interviewing and role-specific assessments developed with IO psychologists, enabling candidates to complete on‑demand screens after CV review and giving hiring managers competency and cognitive reports to review on their schedule. The change delivered measurable gains: 43% faster time to hire, 60% less screening time, an 87% candidate satisfaction score, ~12.5 hours saved per week (~$40K p.a.), 38% of assessments completed outside business hours, and reduced interview volume per hire—scalable improvements with planned ATS integration.
