They don't tell you whether that person can do the job, how they communicate, or whether they'll stay. Spark Hire's applicant tracking system is built to close that gap without adding coordination overhead. Designed for the specific hiring realities faced by lean HR teams, every Spark Hire plan includes one-way video interviews and automated reference checks natively, with no separate contract or integration to manage. Growth and Enterprise plans add the Predictive Behavioral Assessment, a research-backed evaluation of how a candidate's competencies and motivations align with the specific role. AI capabilities across the platform help lean teams reach strong candidates faster. AI Resume Review ranks applicants before human reviewers engage. AI Video Review scores and summarizes submissions so reviewers know where to start. Structured scorecards keep hiring manager feedback in the system instead of being scattered across various tools. The hiring process runs end-to-end in one place. Every step connects to the next. Built for organizations with 50 to 500 employees. No dedicated IT team required. Live in 30 days or less. * * * Product Website Spark Hire Seller [Spark Hire, Inc.](https://www.g2.com/sellers/spark-hire-inc) Discussions [Spark Hire Community](https://www.g2.com/products/spark-hire/discuss) Languages Supported English Solution Type All-in-One Overview by Josh Tolan (Helping 6,000+ companies make better hires with video interviewing.)

Spark hire allows me to conduct initial screens for entry-level/high-volume positions quickly & easily, rather than having to conduct phone screens with each of these candidates. Spark hire just recently implemented Transcriptions and Reference Checks - this is amazing! Transcripts allow me to read along while candidates are speaking; additionally allowing me to take quick note of any answers I would like to follow up on further. The Reference Checks will be quick and easy (& highly utilized) for our entry level positions - hopefully reducing the number of those who are selected for the position but are truly not the strongest once they're in their role; ultimately increasing our number of quality candidates selected as well as reducing our overall turnover.

Senior Director of Talent Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 7/14/2023 "Pretty great product" 4/5 What do you like best about Spark Hire? In general, it does what I need it to do. It's easy to share videos with others who don't primarily use Spark Hire. I like how each question is customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Spark Hire? It can be complicated to navigate at times. Everything is separate: jobs, question sets, interviews, etc. Through much practice, I can accomplish what I need fairly quickly but it's difficult to explain to others and took many months to master. I also get a fair number of folks who complain about glitches with their video submissions which is a hassle to deal with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Spark Hire solving and how is that benefiting you? It saves me time. Phone interviews take at least 30 minutes and I have to vigorously type every word while they're speaking which get's very tiring. Watching a Spark Hire video takes half the time, I can get other stuff done while I'm watching/listening, and instead of trying to translate a candidates sentiments to the hiring manager, I can just send them the video.

Director of Recruiting Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/14/2023 "Spark Hire is Our Virtual Screener" 5/5 What do you like best about Spark Hire? We're able to interview candidates at scale in a simple click of a button. Not only do we get to put names with faces, we can also share more about our business and build our employer brand through our own videos that we share before and after a candidate's interview. I find that great candidates love the freedom of video interviewing and flexibility of completing it in their own time. It also helps us determine which candidates are serious about our business and the specific opportunity at hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Spark Hire? Spark Hire doesn't 'talk' nice to our ATS, JazzHR. Yes, it integrates with the ATS, but we cannot easily view all features that Spark Hire has in our ATS. We can only see if a Spark Hire has been Sent, In Progress, or Complete; then view the interview. We cannot see ratings, reviews, and other features. This works for us in a team of two, but it may not be as effective with larger teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Spark Hire solving and how is that benefiting you? We're able to meet and assess candidates at a high-level and at scale. We can better understand their softer qualities that can be harder to understand on paper, like their personality and interests. We can also determine their level of professionalism on video (which is important as we are a remote business). We've found that collecting data on response and completion times helps us better understand how serious they are us and the opportunity. Top candidates love Spark Hire! Those that wouldn't be a good fit often send us 'hate mail' when we invite them to Spark Hire. Although we outline our interview process with transparency in the job description and send a 'What's in it for me?' videographic with an interview invitation explaining why we use Spark Hire, the wrong candidates still think we are 'unhuman' and 'lack empathy' in the process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is the best value I've found for online interviews. They have a very good support team that are friendly and helpful. I love how you can create custom questions or use any of their built-in stock questions. You can schedule live interviews or what we use, which is the option to complete them when it works for the applicant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Spark Hire? It does have a bit of a learning curve but their support team will walk you through over the phone to get you to where you need to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Spark Hire solving and how is that benefiting you? We are a 24/7 operation that is also a startup. We don't have the staff to conduct interviews on a regular basis. We also used to miss out on good candidates due to scheduling conflicts for them attending an interview. Spark Hire is a great and cost effective interview process. It also allows managers from out of state and out of the country to review and participate in the hiring process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a very user friendly tool, and facilitates the overral recrutment process in a very eficient way. You just need a 15 min walkthrough to be familiarized with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Spark Hire? There really isin't any thing that i can point out in this regard. I like to use it, and haven't found any issues while doing so. I'd like to see improvements on the tasks tab, it should have the open positions button, instead of the user having to go click on the "My Open Positions" it should show all the buttons there.

Saves time for both candidates and employers. Where candidates can undergo the interview at their own pace and time to showcase their skills while in a resourcefull state; and hiring managers can watch the interviews at their own time as well and most importantly can go back to it or share it when needed further in the interviewing process.

Program Manager (Postsecondary Education) Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/14/2023 "Great for creating a databank for candidate profiles" 5/5 What do you like best about Spark Hire? We are using SparkHire in way slightly different than how it's intended. Rather than using it for hiring, we use it to screen volunteers and create volunteer profiles. It does exactly what we need (for the most part). Videos are easily shareable and tags help us sort through the content. It's also easy enough to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Spark Hire? The experience has been overall positive. If there is one complaint, it's the tagging system. We would love it if selecting several tags narrows our candidate list only to those who satisfy all tags. Instead, we get a longer list of candidates who satisfy at least one tag. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Spark Hire solving and how is that benefiting you? We have a long list of volunteers who work directly with an equally long list of clients. Spark Hire has allowed us to streamline the process of tracking our volunteers and has allowed us to build a more robust volunteer profile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
