How The Vector Group International Improved the Quality of Candidates Submitted to Hiring Managers with Spark Hire

We needed a way to raise the quality of the candidates that we were flying in to interview. There are a lot of intangibles that make a good candidate fit and video interviewing provides the opportunity to look for those intangibles with a candidate. These intangibles are especially important in positions that have a high customer facing aspect.

This was the first time we implemented video interviewing.

The platform had to be easy to use for candidates. We also wanted the ability to customize the candidate experience and share videos with hiring decision makers.

Another company referred Spark Hire to us. Spark Hire was specifically appealing because of their price point, the user friendliness of the platform, and excellent support from the staff.

The percentage of candidates that were ultimately hired by our client improved by 60%. The video interviews provide our candidates an opportunity to sell themselves and for us to see if the candidate fits the position profile. This meant that a higher quality of candidate was ultimately invited to a face to face interview. In the past, candidates were brought in for face to face interviews based purely on paper screen alone.

Review paper resume and then invite candidates to interview based exclusively on their resume.

Through both video questions and candidate video answers, both the company and the candidate can sell themselves. Spark Hire allows candidates to directly address questions and competencies and the hiring manager can easily determine if the candidate should proceed to the next step which would be a face to face interview.

It was very easy to get their buy in because video interviewing saves them time. Video interviewing allows them to identify quality candidates prior to bringing them in for a face to face.

Spark Hire has significantly improved the quality of candidates brought in for face to face interviews.

When we saw candidates not prepare for the interview or not present themselves in a professional manner, we realized how much time we were saving. If we did not use video interviewing, we would have invited that person to an in-person interview based on their resume. The video interview provided us an opportunity to see which candidates were serious about the position.

Spark Hire is a very cost effective way to recruit talent. We have received feedback from candidates saying they appreciate the opportunity to participate in the video interview as a way to sell themselves.

The ability to customize questions allows us to ask pointed questions to uncover if candidates will be good fits for our clients.

The support we receive from both our Customer Success Hero and the technical support staff is consistently excellent and timely.

Successful, huge ROI, and professional.
