Case Study: Local Government Association achieves streamlined, fair and accessible graduate recruitment with Shine Interview

Local Government Association - Customer Case Study

The Local Government Association, a cross-party body representing 415 UK authorities, needed a fair, accessible and secure way to screen applicants to its National Graduate Development Programme (NGDP), which attracts over 2,700 applicants each year and must comply with strict equality and diversity policies. To meet these needs they contracted Shine Interview to provide a video interview platform for the NGDP.

Shine Interview delivered a user-friendly video interviewing solution, assigned a dedicated project team, provided online assessor training and rapid candidate support, and enabled features such as accessibility options, blind review and auditing to reinforce fair selection. The rollout ran smoothly, drew positive candidate feedback, supported secure integrations with existing systems, and—per Shine Interview—can cut early-stage screening and time-to-hire by up to 70% while meeting government security standards.
