How Saban Community Clinic Saves Their C-Suite Time With Spark Hire Video Interviews

About Saban Community Clinic

At Saban Community Clinic, they pride themselves on a tradition of excellent health care reaching back to the 1960s when they first opened their doors as the Los Angeles Free Clinic. Since that time, the clinic’s mission of healthcare for all has remained a Hollywood area tradition. From their community outreach programs to their full range of health care services, Saban Community Clinic remains a valued and central resource in the Los Angeles area—a place where quality health care is the priority, and a place where it is believed that every individual deserves access to good medical attention.

Goals for Video Interviewing

Saban Community Clinic spent too much time on unqualified candidates, and grew tired of candidate no-shows. Their initial solution was to hold in-person interviews all day for 1 day a week. This drained the HR team of time and other much-needed resources, and was inefficient. The Saban Community Clinic team sought out video interviews to avoid bad in-person interviews, improve the efficiency of their screening process, and speed up the hiring process.
