How PGA TOUR Uses Spark Hire To Interact With Summer Internship Candidates

Before we started using video interviewing, the team was conducting phone interviews with each and every candidate. For our summer internship program, we had 200+ candidates. We invited these candidates to a one-way video interview on Spark Hire and ended up hiring 22 interns for the summer from the process.

By implementing Spark Hire into our hiring process, not only did we save countless hours, but also thousands of dollars in travel costs.

This was also the second video interviewing platform we tried out. Previous to Spark Hire, we used a different platform. We ended up replacing it with Spark Hire because we only do seasonal hiring.

The biggest selling point for the team was simply seeing how much time and money we could be saving. We started talking about how costly it was for us to fly in so many potential candidates without ever meeting them first.

That alone was enough for us to give video interviewing a try.

Taking the anonymity out of the phone interview has been pretty huge for us. By video interviewing all of our candidates, we are now able to properly vet them. Not only does it allow us to put a face with a name on our end, but it also allows every candidate the ability to get familiar with our team as well.

As we previously mentioned, we’ve really been able to Improve our screening efficiency by adding video interviewing to our hiring process.

It’s honestly a no brainer. Every organization's HR team is always trying to save time and money. Speeding up your interview process is the easiest and most effective way to do this.

We initially looked into video interviewing because we wanted a one-way video interviewing platform so we could get in contact with a large amount of candidates. I’d assume there are so many other people out there trying to accomplish the same thing.

I really love Spark Hire’s video interviewing platform because of it’s ease of use. The user interface is just so user friendly and there is also a tag functionality that helps the team sort through all of the candidates we have in our database.

The other thing I love about video interviewing is the face to face interaction with candidates. You don’t realize how beneficial it is to see every candidate until you have the ability to see them at every step of the process.
