How DLP Realty Uses Spark Hire to Speed Up Their Interview Process

Before we started using Spark Hire, the first step in our interview process was a phone screen. These phone screens were conducted by our HR and executive teams who have very busy schedules.

Now, instead of having to conduct a 45 minute phone screen with a candidate we know is not going to be a good fit, we have been able to speed up our hiring process using video interviewing.

It has allowed us to completely eliminate the phone interview.

We used to keep track of each candidate in a spreadsheet. This involved passing around a number of files and using Google Sheets to record the team's feedback. Now, once we’ve reviewed a candidate's resume and decided to move forward with an interview, we send each candidate a link to complete a video interview.

Each member of the team has the ability to review and rate every interview we receive when it’s convenient for them. Even better, we now keep track of each candidate in one spot.

The proof was in the pudding. We simply showed everybody an example of a good interview and then a bad interview. The team was immediately able to see how easy it was to make decisions on candidates based on their submissions.

We also love that Spark Hire allows us to promote our brand from within the platform. As a real estate company, branding is what sets us apart over our competition. The fact that branding is provided for free was a real game changer in our eyes.

It saves us so much time!

We have been tracking our hire rate since moving to Spark Hire and it has drastically increased. If you ask me, it is because we have been able to get rid of the inefficiencies that existed in our old hiring process.

I also attribute this success to the platform giving the team the flexibility to watch and review their interviews at any time, from any device.

When you are hiring in real estate, you need to hire people that are determined and not afraid of a new challenge. Spark Hire gives candidates the ability to really prove themselves.

Our candidates now have the ability to sell themselves for a position when they participate in a video interview.

We love how efficient it has made our hiring process, the control we have over our branding, and the customer support and sales teams!
