We are trying to accomplish a few different things with Spark Hire. First and foremost, we want to widen our candidate pool. The positions where we use Spark Hire usually have 100+ applicants. Typically we would bring in only 5 of those candidates to interview in-person, but by using Spark Hire's one-way interview feature, we can widen our net and video interview up to 20 candidates. Many times we end up hiring someone who would not have gotten an in-person interview had we only selected the top 5 candidates. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Sparkhire is a good platform for video interviewing. Whether you're using it for one position or multiple positions, it can handle the job. It's user interfaces are intuitive and the functionality allows us to do many things. In fact we don't even take advantage of all the software is able to do. The one-way interview feature is by fare what we use the most often. It allows us to interview more people to begin with. The set up of the interviews is easy and the feature that lets you record video intros to any question you send is very nice as well. #### Cons The pricing for this software is different. You pay based on the number of jobs you want to use it for at the same time. Since our hiring goes in cycles, many times we only need it for one job, but sometimes we need it for up to 5 jobs. We end up paying for 5 jobs all throughout the year since that is the max number we might need, but we only use it for 1 job much of the year. There are some little features that could be improved, and we'd love for Spark Hire to tie into our current application system (it does some but not ours), but overall we like the product. --- ### Great time saver - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Julia M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Civil Engineering - Company size: 5001-10000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. This has alleviated a lot of stress of our graduate recruitment campaign, really adding value in the processes of differentiating one applicant from another based on their pre recorded responses, great for high volumes. This is an easy product to use and the backend support if fabulous, very very happy with the experience we have had. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros This product is great for junior level positions and senior roles. We use it for bulk recruitment and specialised positions and the functional meets the needs of both types of recruitment. The personalised support is also very good with Spark Hire our support person is also available and up for any question we through at them. #### Cons Initially when we started using panel interviews was not a function but I understand that is now available. Don't have a heap of negatives as it really does the job we need it to. #### Reasons for choosing Spark Hire The functionality of the system to get it up and running quickly, the support, the cost all together packaged up a nice solution #### Vendor response Hi Julia, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so happy to hear that our platform has been helpful in alleviating the stress of your graduate recruitment campaign and has added value in differentiating one applicant from another. Happy hiring! Replied October 2021 --- ### Human brains process information faster than formatted programming. - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Brett J. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Transportation/ Trucking/ Railroad - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for free trial - Reviewed: February 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Disgusting, degrading, inhuman, systematic propaganda, robotic manipulation, inherently unimaginable, narcissistic manipulation. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros I did not like this as it is inhuman, allowing people to watch you behind a screen is narcissistic programming. No different than that of serial killer watching someone, trapped in room. Picking up on red flags…is there statement behind one-way interviews… Human interaction is not a red flag. It’s how we were created, we were created to socialize face to face. This Program is a “Red Flag”. Not everyone on the planet wants to video themselves. This is programming, using robotics and AI processes to learn human interaction…. Rating 0. This is disgusting. #### Cons The whole process, integrating people, through segregation is a narcissistic thought process. Robotic processing has no place in humanity , you will never out think the human brain, this is why genetics will out grow computers. --- ### A Very Useful Product - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Christopher B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Aviation & Aerospace - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. A Flight Controller interview takes up the time of anywhere between 2-6 of NASA's mission-critical personnel. Before using this software we would schedule interviews based solely on resumes and pre-screens, which cannot give you enough information. While this does add a step, it helps immensely with our ability to submit qualified candidates. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It is amazing to be able to judge a person communication skills before taking up upper managements time in a lengthy interview. We mainly use this software for Flight Controllers at NASA's Mission Control Center. Interviewing with a camera, especially for the first time, can be stressful. This is something Flight Controllers must be able to handle and adapt to. While a person can have an amazing resume, it doesn't truly represent the candidate's communication skills. #### Cons The only issue I have is having to ask the candidate to upload their own resume. I would like to be able to add a resume to a video so management has easy access. --- ### Spark Hire is the best thing we have done for our in-house recruiting efforts - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jillian H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Facilities Services - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We no longer waste time phone-screening candidates. Every resume we receive is acknowledged with a request to complete spark hire. The completion rate is around 23% but with the number of applicants we have, 23% is more than enough. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Spark Hire is seriously THE BEST thing we've done for our in house recruiting efforts. It has allowed us to dramatically increase the number of candidates we are able to thoroughly screen while simultaneously reducing the time and money associated with doing so. Since adding Spark Hire in December, we've increased our candidate review rate by +24%. Cost per applicant has been reduced 9% and cost per hire is down 13%. On top of that, their customer service is incredible. #### Cons Very few negatives. Occasionally we've had bugs - which are quickly corrected. And we've come up with a few ideas that could improve ease of use but nothing that has dramatically impacted our overall experience. --- ### Misleading Sales and Customer Service - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Hana L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Translation and Localization - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: September 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered We reached out to SparkHire when we were researching a product that would allow us to deploy a specific, custom assessment to our candidates. We communicated that the assessment would need to allow for both text and video modules, where applicants could respond both by typing text and recording a video. This was not possible and the sales people knew this. We have a long list of other items that were promised but were not actually possible. We are now stuck in a contract and they are charging our credit card quarterly even though we had notified them promptly that the tool was useless to us. A classic example of overpromising and underdelivering, or rather not delivering at all. All we asked was to be let out of the contract. Didn’t even request a refund. Last communication from the customer service team was on [sensitive content hidden], “still waiting for response of our management team”. In my business, we would not let a customer leave unhappy, but SparkHire apparently does not care. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 1/5 - Value for money: 1/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 1/5 #### Pros None, because the product was sold to us despite the fact that Spark Hire knew it would not fit our desired solution/use. #### Cons Very inflexible product. Customer service that is not empowered to help. --- ### Spark Hire Review - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Ryan W M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: August 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I have used Spark Hire for nearly 3 years. They have been outstanding in everyway! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Spark Hire allows me to quickly and confidently review candidates as well as share with hiring managers. We don't spend time in interviews without having confidence that we will get ROI on the time spent. #### Cons N/A. I researched all of Spark Hire's competitors and I made the decision to use Spark Hire. --- ### Disappointed by price - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Alexis Eva A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Staffing and Recruiting - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: December 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It was fine - but there were too many things that I didn't like for me to continue being a paid customer. I find another alternative #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros The video quality was very good, as is the candidate interface, and their customer service was attentive. #### Cons 1) Trial period is too short and they charged me directly without asking me beforehand (I hate that!). I know I gave me C/C info but I feel that you should confirm the option with the client before charging. Even the customer service rep who was following up with me was surprised that I had been charged before we had even had our first call. 2) The candidate response time for the one-way interviewing was capped at 3 min. My questions require greater response time. 3) To increase the allotted time you have to upgrade to another pricepoint which was not what I wanted to do. 4) The number of ppl from my team who could access the interviews was limited. #### Reasons for choosing Spark Hire I wanted to try something quickly and signed up --- ### Game Changer - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kelley M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Facilities Services - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: August 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We are a commercial cleaning company and need to constantly hire - previously this was a huge headache and time waste each week and many of the candidates would not show up at all or would not be good candidates for the position when they did. With Spark Hire we get to screen the candidates before spending the time to go and meet someone - we can see the quality of the candidate and know what to expect before meeting them in person. Additionally, we have found the no-show rate has dropped almost 100% because we find that those who are willing to go through our other steps, culminating in taking the time to film a video interview are typically better candidates overall and more committed to getting a job. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros We LOVE Spark Hire for the amount of time and headache it has saved us. Being able to review candidate interviews at our convenience as well as see the candidates before determining whether or not to meet them in person is huge. #### Cons There's really not anything I dislike about the software - it meets all of my needs at this time. --- ### Great tool , definitely a bog help! - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Iryna K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: January 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Great! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I looove that it saves tons of my tie and actually shows me how interested the candidate is in the position. I can use tags and rating for my candidates nd filter them however I want. Always easy to come back and revisit some answers or refresh my memory about some candidates. Tech support is always responsive! #### Cons Sometimes the sftware has bugs (if the candidate has some wrong version of PC or other computer issues), but ostly it's working great1 --- Showing 1 - 10 of 109 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/spark-hire-profile/reviews/) ## Spark Hire Popular Comparisons [Google Workspace vs Spark Hire](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/google-workspace-profile/vs/spark-hire/)[Hireflix vs Spark Hire](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/hireflix-profile/vs/spark-hire/)[BambooHR vs Spark Hire](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/bamboohr-profile/vs/spark-hire/)[Rippling vs Spark Hire](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/rippling-profile/vs/spark-hire/)[RUN Powered by ADP vs Spark Hire](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/adp-run-profile/vs/spark-hire/) [Compare All Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/spark-hire-profile/alternatives/) ## Other Top Recommended Video Interviewing Software [isolved Talent Acquisition](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/applicantpro-profile/) **4.6** (381) Recently recommended **82** times [Criteria](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/hireselect-profile/) **4.7** (226) Recently recommended **34** times [eSkill](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/eskill-profile/) **4.5** (171) Recently recommended **7** times [Fountain](https://www.softwareadvice.com/hr/fountain-profile/) **4.6** (39) Recently recommended **5** times Stuck Between Options?
