Candidate Relations Specialist Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "SparkHire is a great value add for a video intro on a resume" August 6, 2019 4.0 Pros We use it to help our candidates and consultants stand out from the rest of applicants and add a video introduction to their resume using SparkHire. Cons Sometimes candidates have a hard time downloading the flashware needed to get it to work on their computer. Also, overall audio quality is spotty at times. Review Source LH Laura H. Office Manager Accounting Used the software for: ### "Best utilized by companies with a younger and/or more tech savvy hiring pool" March 19, 2018 5.0 The burden of phone interviews was nearly eliminated. Pros Spark Hire eliminates the need for scheduled phone interviews, which is excellent when you have a large number of candidates to sort through and a small hiring team. The software also lets you tag and comment on potential candidates. This allowed me to add my comments and feedback on individual applicants before shooting them up to my boss for the final determination. Cons Though our team found it easy to use, many of our older applicants who are less familiar with technology struggled to make the videos, or even to make videos that could be seen/heard easily. This ultimately prevented us from keeping the program permanently. Review Source RK Randall K. Section Manager Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Works great!" May 17, 2019 5.0 We've used SpareHire in place of phone interviews, and it saves us a lot of time. Pros Easy to view the videos from anywhere quickly Cons Can't think of anything. This is a perfect product in my view. Review Source BW Bradford W. Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use and exceptional customer service" February 21, 2015 5.0 Pros Their customer service. Most HR technologies require me to be a go-between and try to troubleshoot tickets. If one of my candidates is having problems, Spark Hire calls them directly (yes, calls them! not emails them... such a great service!). Cons There is no screen sharing option. But honestly I don't even need that for 99% of the candidates I'm interviewing. Review Source CM Claudia M. HR Administrator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "ACCES Employment Review" September 6, 2018 5.0 It's been a great experience. We are now looking at training so we can take advantage of all that the product offers. Pros The software is very easy to navigate, and we have not received any complaints from our clients Cons We don't have any complaints at this time, other that we wish it was a little less expensive since we are paying in Canadian dollars Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Process Development Engineer Biotechnology Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Spark Hire Video Interviews" March 22, 2019 5.0 Pros I did a video interview through Spark Hire and it was quite painless and smooth! Everything was straight forward and there were no surprises-- recording time, questions were clear, etc. Cons Nothing! This is a great way to conduct video interviews. Review Source TD Tiffany D. Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great interview tool" February 23, 2015 4.5 Pros It's very easy to use, share, and provide feedback. The mobile app works very well, too, and candidates love it. Customer service was excellent! Cons It's difficult to convince candidates how easy it is to use. The sort feature could be improved in terms of candidate name, job listing, etc. Review Source NT Nate T. Staffing Specialist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "User Friendly!" January 24, 2019 4.0 Love it! They answer questions from candidates, which is awesome! Pros I love how easy it is to move around the platform, set up videos and questions, create links and follow through one OneWay submissions Cons More customization would be awesome. After speaking to some Customer Service folks, it sounds like that is in the pipeline. Certain features are going to boost this platform, no doubt! Review Source EH Ericka H.

Human Resource Manager Retail Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Ames Taping Tools Review" February 12, 2019 4.0 Overall, our experience with Spark Hire has been a good one. Pros This tool gives us the ability to see our candidates even when we can't get a face to face scheduled due to travel schedules. Cons We initially purchased this with the intention of doing live video interviews. The software does not allow candidates to do live video interviews from a mobile device.

Pros Once SparkHire is set up, it is easy to use. Best part of this system is that it saves us time. Cons Set up is time consuming at first. But after that, it's a lot better.

June 18, 2020 5.0 It increased efficiency in our work by being a great time saver and helped our overall productivity. I recommend it! Pros I like that Spark Hire makes the hiring processes relatively "normal" in the new times of COVID-19 that we live in (especially since it is convenient for all parties involved. In simple words, it is a very good platform for video interviewing and provides a variety of features depending on the needs of your company. Cons My experience with the software is rather limited, yet I have not had any problems so far. Review Source AL Ariel L. HR Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Addition to the Interviewing Process" December 9, 2016 5.0 Spark Hire has helped add an additional layer to our interview process to further vet candidates. I have enjoyed sharing the interview videos with hiring managers, it gives our team additional info and helps determine if they are a good fit prior to bringing them in for an interview. Pros Spark Hire allows our team to get a feel for the candidate prior to bringing them in for an interview and potentially saves a lot of time to vet a potential hire. Cons Set up is not super intuitive, it can be figured out but it was a little clunky at the beginning. Also, I would prefer if they shared set up instructions or best practices instead of having to watch videos on how to work with the software. Review Source BA Bryson A. Dir of HR Hospitality Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Spark hire has really saved us time and money. We have become more efficient in our hiring process." July 25, 2017 4.0 Pros The one way video interviews are fantastic. I also really like the way the software walks the applicant through an unfamiliar process. Cons The back-end interface needs work. it is challenging to navigate to specific interviews and to manage a larger quantity of interviews. Review Source JF Jasmine F.

Thank you! Pros Recommended by hiring professional, was never disappointed. Helped tremendously to weed out individuals in the hiring process, very modern and customizable for each position posted.

September 25, 2018 4.0 Spark Hire has been a good fit for our company and has helped us find great staff! Pros I love the series of questions and videos and it has made it a lot easier for us to filter through all of our candidates to find the right staff members for our team.

No background knowledge in computers is required to use this app and is great for interviews. Cons The downside to this application is that it does cost a fair amount per month. That being said, it limits smaller businesses and companies from adopting this app to their workflow. Review Source LS Larissa S. Recruiting Coordinator Consumer Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Wonderful Experience" August 23, 2018 5.0 Pros I like the fact that the candidate has the opportunity to interview in the privacy of their own home Cons There is really nothing I don't like. Very easy to use Review Source LS Lacy S. Director HR Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Sparkhire for the Childhood Drowning Prevention Foundation" November 23, 2021 5.0 Excellent! Pros I like that it saves me time in the interview process AND I love the video messaging and calendaring applications. Great training and support! Cons I think it's weird that you have to create a question set in the question set area, but you can edit the questions in the interview area. That has caused me a couple of challenges, but I got past it. Reason for choosing Spark Hire Not applicable.

It really gives me a chance to get to know someone before ever even meeting them. It saves me time, which I don't have a lot of, and effort. It just makes things so much easier! Cons There's really not much I don't like. Sometimes the video playback doesn't work, but that could very well be something on my end. Overall, it's a solid product. Review Source FH Fred H. COO Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Applicants are shy" August 23, 2018 5.0 Many applicants that seemed to have excellent potential didn't do the video interview. We began thinking that we were missing good hirs because they were shy so we have taken this stage out of our hiring process. Pros Works as advertised. It is great screening applicants in this format. We just meet with the ones that kill their 1 way video interview Cons No issues with the platform/ Everything worked as it should Review Source Similar Products Featured
