“From the start, everyone on our team was really on board and excited to try out Spark Hire. It’s great for positions where you have multiple openings and a pretty refined process. Spark Hire let us see the candidates in their element and added some personality to a typically static resume. We couldn’t have made these hires had it not been for the video interview process. It was so easy to get started with and we enjoyed using it.”
