2010: Spark Hire is an ideaSpark Hire acquires Chally and Comeet

Our Story

In 2010, Spark Hire Founder and CEO, Josh Tolan, was a student at the University of California, San Diego, working in marketing for a small organization that was scaling quickly. It was during this time that he witnessed firsthand the hiring challenges faced by small and medium-sized businesses with lean or non-existent TA teams.

It was then that Josh sparked a big thought that he could and needed to build a solution that made the hiring process better for these employers and candidates alike.

In February 2012, Spark Hire officially launched to the public, quickly becoming the #1-rated video interviewing platform.

Fast forwarding: With the acquisitions of Comeet, an ATS, and Chally, a talent assessment provider, in 2023, Spark Hire now offers hiring solutions that help organizations across the globe solve their screening, selection, and collaborative hiring challenges from resume review and candidate evaluation through final selection.
