The CO-OP Financial Services team knew their initial interviews were very repeatable. Hiring dozens of new employees every month for their call centers, initial interviews always took a large chunk of the team's time. They knew there had to be a better way to get an initial look at all candidates.
We were looking to solve a repeatable action, which was the initial interview. We ask the same 5-6 standard questions in every call. There had to be a simpler way to get these answers. Each candidate translated to a 30 minute initial phone interview for the team and there had to be a software that could help us cut that time down. Also, we hoped it would be able to handle bilingual interviews.
This was our first time using a video interviewing tool and it was a very seamless integration with our current ATS.
Since this was our first time using video interviews, the only criteria we had going into exploring our options was knowing we wanted to be able to achieve both one way and live video interviews.
The scheduler tool and analytics were the icing on the cake for us to choose Spark Hire over other vendors. The other major key has been our experience with Spark Hire's unmatched customer support. It’s not often that something goes wrong on the platform, but when it does, we have a direct account rep who takes pride in helping us get the situation fixed.
After signing the contract, we were assigned an integration specialist and they were with us every step of the way. The Spark Hire team helped us set up the integration, give us best practices, and get return on our investment right away.
Spark Hire's analytics allow us to see where people fall off in the process. Do they accept the interview and not complete it? Do they accept AND start the interview but not complete it? It has helped us understand where our process could use improvement.
Before Spark Hire we would simply review the resumes of our applicants. Now, we pair the resume review with a video interview to ensure we have a much clearer picture of what candidates bring to the table. Sometimes a candidate can speak to their experience much better than documenting it down in a resume. We have had candidates tell us how much they like the platform.
It was pretty easy, the tool speaks for itself and has saved the whole team a bunch of time.
The scheduler tool. It has been a HUGE life saver. We interview thousands and thousands of people every year. The scheduling and phone tag involved can be a long and boring game. Sending out our availability to candidates to find a time that works for them has saved us so much time.
Spark Hire takes care of the repeatable actions in the hiring process like scheduling interviews and screening candidates while maintaining a personal process.
I love it
