“Spark Hire is a great tool for recruiters and provides our clients with another innovative way in which to carry out their recruitment. I have found the Spark Hire customer service to be very efficient.”

"Spark Hire has been an asset to our company. The platform helps us get a real feel for a potential new candidate. It also has helped our Regional Managers have the ability to view a candidate, and not necessarily have to travel to the candidate’s location. As the Recruiter, I have been very pleased with Spark Hire’s services and the user-friendly website."

"Whenever we post job openings where we expect to get more than 50 responses, we encourage applicants to answer three simple questions: tell us about yourself, what are you best at, and why aren't you working at your prior jobs any more? The responses we get are SO much better than sifting through resumes and trying to extrapolate from a PDF to what an applicant is really like."

“For some of our roles, we receive several thousand resumes, so screening them all on the phone isn’t feasible. With Spark Hire, we can look at more candidates in less time to find diamonds in the rough. It is also great to be able to share the interviews and put a face and personality with a name before they even come through the door.”

"We have grown substantially since we’ve implemented Spark Hire. We are now billing 300% more than we were at this very time last year. Our submit to hire ratios have also improved. Before we started conducting video interviews, our submit to hire ratio was 3:1. This means, for every three candidate submissions we would have one hired. Now, for every two candidates submitted, one is hired. That’s fantastic in our industry."

"Using Spark Hire, we were able to take a 45 minute scheduled phone interview and replace it with a 15 minute one-way video interview. The videos are completed by the candidate in their free time, and then reviewed by the hiring team at their convenience. This change has saved us countless hours in the screening process, and also given us the insights to only focus our time on the best applicants."

"Using Spark Hire, we have made over 1,500 candidate placements. Video interviewing, was integral to helping us improve our submit to hire ratio by 80% while also increasing our placement speed by 50%. We quickly noticed that we were not only placing candidates in a fraction of the time, but also that we were making more money on every candidate we placed. Because of the amount of time we are saving, we are now able to push resources to other areas of our business. This has helped make our business much more profitable."

"With the help of Spark Hire, we’ve offered hundreds of applicants the ability to interview online. Most of our interviews are viewed by multiple viewers, sometimes by as many as 11 different people. Before we used Spark Hire, the scheduling, seat time and man hours away from campus would have cost the district upwards of 2,400 man hours with a cost of close to $103,000. Since using Spark Hire, the district estimates that it only spends 8 minutes per interview which has resulted in their man hours being cut to 270 hours or $12,000 which is a savings of $91,000 per year."

"We very much enjoy using Spark Hire. It's easy to access and simple to use. The whole team is very helpful and attentive to our needs. Spark Hire helps us screen candidates more thoroughly without having to bring them into our office and we can even share the video with our client to save them time as well."

"Shortlisting the hundreds of graduate applications we receive each year is always very labour intensive. With the goal of streamlining the process and reducing cost, we established an account with Spark Hire to implement one-way video interviews in lieu of those time consuming telephone screens. The product itself is very good and the service is exceptional."

"Before we started using Spark Hire, the amount of time and energy it took for interviewing applicants, setting up interviews and conducting the actual interviews was massive. Sometimes that resulted in finding applicants and interviewing applicants that weren’t the best fit for our team. Since implementing Spark Hire, we have found it easier to hire candidates that better fit our company culture."

"We use Spark Hire at our North American and Canadian locations for Digital/IMT and Operational roles. There has been an overall reduction in time spent on the pre-screening process. With traditional interviewing, we would spend a minimum of 30 minutes screening each applicant. Using video interviewing, we have cut that screen time down to 6-7 minutes per candidate."

"Spark Hire was instrumental in me being able to quickly and efficiently hire an Executive Assistant. Given that we are a small firm, we don't have a full blown HR team, but Spark Hire allowed me to quickly narrow down 200 applicants to a shortlist of 8 candidates. We hired someone within a month and I never would have been able to do it as quickly without Spark Hire."

"Spark Hire has made our process much less stressful. We have to interview a lot of people (100 at a time) very quickly. Before we decided to start using video interviews, it simply took us too long to screen all of our candidates."

"By automating the screening process, we have saved about 8.33 hours per week. We have also found a candidate is 30% more likely to stay past 90 days if they complete a video interview as part of the hiring process."

"As a company we position ourselves at the forefront of quality, service, and technology. Spark Hire fits perfectly with that. Other companies looking to improve their hiring efficiency and their candidates’ journey should look into video interviewing. From a selfish point of view - I'm happy for my competitors to continue to work with their old school ways! We stand out a mile!"

"With Spark Hire, we save an average of 20 minutes per applicant we process and we’ve processed hundreds of applicants using the system in less than a year. When you consider the cost of staff time, this is a huge money saver for our organization. In addition, we have been able to make better hiring decisions by not having to rely on interview notes, but having the actual interviews available to reference."

"Spark Hire has dynamically changed who we are and what we do by giving us more of a national presence. Using video interviews, I can put someone through my screening process and get a taste of what your personality is and who you are. It’s been beneficial to my company because we are no longer bound by a full one hour interview. It speeds up our placement process as we’re able to gather enough of a profile of our candidates for our clients. This leaves our clients wanting to learn more."

Dave Eberhardt

"Having Spark Hire compliments our online application process and creates a consistent candidate experience. Applicants can interview anytime that is convenient for them, 24 hours a day, and our HR staff can watch the videos anytime as well. If something comes up and the HR staff is needed for another task, they can go back to the interviews when they have time."

“Spark Hire is great. Using it helped us find a fantastic new admin assistant. The interview process was fast and easy and really saved us time on countless in person interviews. My favorite part was that if we could see early on in the interview that the candidate wasn’t a good fit, we could simply skip to the next candidate instead of sitting through a full interview.”

"Using Spark Hire, we now have the ability to identify better quality candidates. We’ve never had a problem with the quantity of candidates, but we were struggling with selecting which candidates to advance in the process. Spark Hire allows us to interview more candidates and only bring the best candidates to the front."

"In our last two years of doing business with Spark Hire, our team has increased nearly 10 times over, and our screening process is now 10 times faster than before. What used to cost our team 40 hours per week now only takes 4. Our conversion rate has doubled, and we have saved thousands of dollars each year. Because of our growth, we’ve been able to nearly triple our gross annual revenue."

"Spark Hire saves us so much time. There is little time wasted on in-person interviews now, because we basically know who we are interviewing before they come in. Also, before Spark Hire, I was the sole decision maker on if I should hire a candidate or not. I was hiring for 18 different branches! Now, I send the interview to all 18 managers and they tell me who to bring in for an in person interview. Brilliant!"

"To put it simply, using Spark Hire has been wonderful! We used to do an initial phone screen, and then move the candidates onto an in person interview. With Spark Hire, we have changed the way we do business. We spend much less time vetting the candidates we pass to our hiring managers and in the process, we’ve made our lives easier."

Leslie Willson

"We have been tracking our hire rate since moving to Spark Hire and it has drastically increased. If you ask me, it is because we have been able to get rid of the inefficiencies that existed in our old hiring process. I also attribute this success to the platform giving the team the flexibility to watch and review their interviews at any time, from any device."

"Spark Hire has offered us a way to 'add value' to a candidate's application when schools couldn't meet them face-to-face. These videos enabled schools to get a feel of each candidate, rather than merely text on a page of a written application. We wanted something that enabled us to get those offshore teachers 'in front' of school principals to showcase their personality and teaching experience."

"Before Spark Hire, I would spend 30-45 minutes speaking to each candidate on the phone, followed by a call or email to the hiring manager to debrief. What took an hour (or more) before now takes about 10 minutes, total! If we determine a candidate isn’t a good fit, we just move on rather than compete an entire interview."

"With Spark Hire, we estimate it takes approximately 5 minutes to review a video interview compared to 30 minutes per phone screen. As a result, we have saved countless hours and thousands of dollars by using video interviewing. Plus the quality of insights about each candidate we are able to get from video interviews is priceless."

"The platform has had a positive impact on not just saving us time in the hiring process, but also allowing us to be more effective in making the right hiring decisions. As a growing startup company, we can’t afford to make mistakes and hire a new employee that doesn’t work out. Thus, we focus on finding candidates that fit well with the company culture, and video interviewing makes that task a lot easier."

“From the start, everyone on our team was really on board and excited to try out Spark Hire. It’s great for positions where you have multiple openings and pretty refined process. Spark Hire let us see the candidates in their own element and added some personality to a typically static resume. We couldn't have made these hires had it not been for the video interview process. It was so easy to get started with and we enjoyed using it.”

"Before Spark Hire, we used to waste a lot of time vetting people on onsite interviews instead of vetting them ahead of time. We did some phone interviews, but video interviews are so much better because you can actually see the person and they’re more dynamic on camera than they are on the phone."

"Spark Hire has allowed us to pre-screen quickly and avoid delays that were traditionally caused by time zone differences. Further, we had candidates that might have been eliminated from our hiring process because we didn’t have the resources to interview as many candidates as we do now. As a result, there are some candidates that have advanced to the Spark Hire portion of our process and we were delighted when they turned out to be a great fit. These are candidates that we would have missed in the past. Ultimately, Spark Hire has helped us improve the quality of our shortlists and eventual hires in a much more cost-effective way."

"Spark Hire provides us a faster way to get our candidates placed, because for our industry and market, the agency who got their candidate to the table in front of the decision-maker first usually got the contract. Typically, we are competing against multiple agencies lining up interviews and Spark Hire allowed us to get our candidate in front of the client faster and thus, get the placement."

It allows those who are rating and reviewing those applicants to evaluate those same interviews at their own schedule and at their leisure.

"Spark Hire delivered the results that we sought from a video interviewing platform. It was very simple to use and required little training in order to set things up. It was great to see a product that can be easily branded at a minimal cost. Our candidates found the tool intuitive and I would recommend this to any company seeking to streamline their candidate selection stage."

"Not only is Spark Hire an intuitive tool, but it is also something that was truly designed with efficiency in mind. One example of this is having the ability to save question and email templates and then easily add new candidates to the same job opening. Video interviewing took the stress out of having to schedule over 90 interviews in less than 6 weeks. Spark Hire’s platform is very intuitive. It allowed us to adopt a very different hiring approach in a very short amount of time."

"Since we starting using Spark Hire, the percentage of candidates that were ultimately hired by our client improved by 60%. The video interviews provide our candidates an opportunity to sell themselves and for us to see if the candidate fits the position profile. This meant that a higher quality of candidate was ultimately invited to a face to face interview. In the past, candidates were brought in for face to face interviews based purely on paper screen alone."

"Spark Hire has really helped our team cut down on the amount of time we spend screening candidates. We were actually able to remove phone screens entirely from our interview process. This has been a major efficiency gain for us as we all know how much time phone screens take."

"We have used Spark Hire for our past two hiring cycles with great success. The price, ease of use, and reliability are the best. Our students/applicants like that they can do the video until they get it right, so it results in higher quality answers."

"Since we signed up with Spark Hire, we definitely have a stronger candidate pool to select from now. The additional information we get about each applicant from their video interview is incredible. Our candidates are no longer just words on a piece of paper. We truly get know our candidates in a way that we never knew was possible."

"Spark Hire really is a time saver and allows candidates to do on their own time – something that has been beneficial since many of our candidates already have full-time employment. Our teachers spend a lot of time in front of students and presenting, so the video interview is a no brainer because it allows us to see how they are going to present themselves. And, how they are going to communicate with us. So, it’s been incredibly helpful for us."

What is great about using Spark Hire is that it is so seamless and easy to use. You can jump in and review 15 candidates in less than 30 minutes and get a feel for how these people communicate. One of the biggest things when hiring people is getting below the surface and understanding the 80% of who they are. Its called the iceberg affect. When you interview in person you are only usually getting the best version of that person, the 20% as you would say. Well, when you add Spark Hire to your hiring system it forces your candidates to be genuine and real because most people are uncomfortable on camera which in turn allows you to see the authenticity of that person to make sure that they would be a culture fit for your business and worth taking to the next step of your interviewing process. Additionally the software is so simple to use and to rate your candidates and leave notes so that you can have multiple people in the account and know what is going on with that candidate even if they were not involved in the interview process. Spark Hire has been a huge value add for our business and it is very affordable.

As a virtual company, I love the ability to 'meet' the candidates and more strongly identify their cultural fit prior to a phone interview. Prior to using Spark Hire's one-way interviews, we spent significantly more time on phone interviews. With the one way interviews, we now can 'meet' the candidates, have questions that give us greater insight into a candidate from just their resume/cover letter, and allow the candidate to present their best self to us in a setting that's most comfortable and convenient for them. Too, we love that we can easily share the recordings with our team to have a more collaborative process.

Spark Hire is seriously THE BEST thing we've done for our in house recruiting efforts. It has allowed us to dramatically increase the number of candidates we are able to thoroughly screen while simultaneously reducing the time and money associated with doing so. Since adding Spark Hire in December, we've increased our candidate review rate by +24%. Cost per applicant has been reduced 9% and cost per hire is down 13%. On top of that, their customer service is incredible.
