What do you like best about Spark Hire?

100% user friendly program, that brings the interview process to the modern age!

When you're trying to conduct interviews for several positions, across several departments and multiple hiring managers, Spark Hire allows you to share feedback on candidates, but you can share the interviews themselves, without playing telephone and inserting personal bias with that feedback. I may not be a subject matter expert and my interpretation of a response may not be an accurate representation of their answers, so Spark Hire removes the need for interpretation.

If you have ten questions for candidates to answer, but only two of them are crucial for the right candidate, then you can save time and quickly screen candidates based on those answers, then go back and review their full interviews more thoroughly if the make it through that first round. Its an incredible tool to improve time management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spark Hire?

I love Spark Hire, but it's disappointing when users feel uncomfortable in front of a camera. Due to the pandemic, we've not been active and I've not been as on top of recent updates, but previously I would have like to shuffle and reuse individual questions. I think that area of the portals was the clunkiest and most difficult to keep clean, as I kept adding, updating and ultimately duplicating several questions and such between interviews and positions. Overall, I know they had been great implementing suggested feedback, so this may already have been updated and I've not had the opportunity to utilize it yet.

What problems is Spark Hire solving and how is that benefiting you?

This product puts everyone on an even playing field. Everyone is asked the same questions, in the same format. It really allows you to be consistent with all the candidates.

It's simple enough for all generations to use, regardless of technical proficiency, but really allows you to gauge if an employee is willing to try new technology and to what level they will be comfortable with it. If they're not willing to think outside the box or go outside their comfort zone during the interview, why would they be innovative or progressive in their work?

In addition to being a time saver for reviewing candidates, it's perfect for busy professionals. With the recorded interviews, they can record their responses from anywhere, whenever they want! This has been great when you have candidates who are still working, or have personal commitments, they can respond when THEY have time and not have to coordinate schedules with anyone else.

Hi Melissa,

Thank you for your wonderful review! We LOVE hearing customers' use-cases and are so happy to hear that using one-way interviews allowed you to get to know candidates on an even playing field while usual interviewing routes haven't been an option! We love having you as a customer.
