When the hiring team at Arlington County was having difficulties getting good candidates into their interviews, they looked for a way to change their hiring process. The team uses video interviews to avoid bad in-person interviews, improve their screening efficiency, and speed up the hiring process.
We felt video interviewing would allow us to hire new employees faster. We also wanted a screening method that allowed applicants and hiring managers to complete and then review interviews on their own timelines.
Spark Hire is the first video interviewing tool we’ve used, and it replaced our telephone interview.
We wanted something that was easy for our applicants to use. Our hope was to engage candidates and lessen the barriers to application.
When we saw a demonstration of the Spark Hire platform, there was an immediate sense of flexibility and support that stood out.
It was super easy and the Spark Hire Team provides great support.
In the past year, we have used the platform for 35+ positions and hundreds of candidates completed interviews. Using Spark Hire, we get better insight into how candidates conduct themselves before bringing them into the office. My colleagues review interviews faster, learn more about candidates, and bring the best candidates in for in-person interviews faster with video interviews.
We used to start with a telephone interview, then progress to an in-person interview.
Video interviewing replaced our phone screens.
I sold video interviewing to a few colleagues and then they helped sell it to others. Spark Hire became more popular around the office as the hiring managers saw the benefits. It provides another perspective to paper applications.
It has decreased our time to hire.
As soon as we saw the product, we knew it would easily replace the telephone interview and provide another perspective on candidates as it gives more insight than just paper applications.
It is easy to use, faster than telephone interviews and other initial screens. Spark Hire provides useful information into candidates’ levels of experience.
The results! Getting to see candidates from another perspective earlier in the hiring process on a platform that is easy to use saves us so much time.
The platform is incredibly easy to use.
Ease of use, great support, quicker results.
