How Innovative Staff Solutions Increases Efficiency and Identifies Talent for Multiple Offices

About Innovative Staff Solutions

Innovative Staff Solutions is a family-owned “full-service” staffing company that has been operating since 1994. Not only do they offer general staffing solutions, such as temporary and temp-to-hire staffing, but they also offer direct hire, or professional recruiting services for full-time, professional and management-level positions.

Goals for Video Interviewing

Innovative Staff Solutions was looking for a better way to evaluate candidates for direct hires on their professional staffing team. They also wanted to centralize their recruiting efforts for these roles as they have offices throughout Illinois and Indiana.

Q&A with Corporate Recruiter, Amy Spry

What inspired you to look into video interviewing?

We sought out a video interviewing solution to help us increase efficiency and find top talent. We also wanted to find a way to be ahead of our competition.

What are the immediate benefits you’ve seen from using Spark Hire?

Spark Hire helps us get a much fuller picture on a candidate. We get hands on evidence that the candidate is tech savvy, can follow instructions, presents themselves professionally, and communicates effectively.

What was your team’s recruiting process prior to using Spark Hire?

Before using video interviews, we did phone interviews combined with a personality assessment.

How does video interviewing fit into your recruiting process?

Now, we use video interviews which enable us to ask the same questions to all of our candidates. This is huge from a consistency standpoint and also helps us better evaluate them.

We can replay, review, share, and compare candidate responses to make sure we are only moving forward with the candidates that are the best fits.

How do you get your team members to buy in to video interviewing?

Our company was really excited about this. We have multiple locations throughout Illinois and Indiana so Spark Hire allowed the recruiting to be done via the corporate office.

What was your aha moment — the moment you knew you loved Spark Hire?

I fell in love with Spark Hire the very first time I used it!

Why should other organizations look into video interviewing?

Any organization looking to increase their speed to hire should look into Spark Hire’s video interviewing solution.

What is your favorite aspect of video interviewing?

I enjoy seeing which candidates step up to the plate and bring their “A” game. We get a great feel for our most engaged candidates.

What are some things you love about Spark Hire?

The cost and user friendliness of Spark Hire are second to none.
