Case Study: GVA achieves 80% final-stage conversion, 7-day faster hires and 50% lower screening costs with Shortlister

GVA increased conversion rate by 80% while reducing time to hire by 7 days

GVA, the UK’s leading real estate advisory business with 12 offices and 1,500 staff, faced a sharp rise in hiring demand (vacancies up 48% and applications up 36%) and wanted to eliminate time-consuming telephone screens while gaining better insight into candidate suitability. To meet this challenge GVA engaged Shortlister and adopted Shortlister’s video interviewing platform to streamline screening and improve assessment quality.

Shortlister implemented on-demand video interviews (with email/SMS alerts and branding) that made screening faster and more insightful. As a result, GVA doubled its final-stage conversion to 80%, reduced time-to-hire by seven days, cut screening resource needs by about half (50% lower screening cost), and handled the increased demand more flexibly—delivering measurable efficiency and strategic buy-in for the recruitment team.
