How Teamwork Uses Spark Hire’s Candidate Voice Feature

  • They previously used Glassdoor and internal metrics to gauge candidate experience but lacked consolidated, in-depth data.
  • They found Candidate Voice and chose it for its ability to provide multi-dimensional insights.
  • The data allows them to see scores for roles, locations, and teams—not just individuals. This helps avoid personalizing the feedback.
  • They used the data to intervene with their team and recruiters, building it into their hiring playbook. For example, they reconfigured teams and provided training based on the low scores of two new hires.
  • The data revealed where collaboration was working well and where it was lacking, providing valuable insight into team dynamics.
  • Candidates who were rejected tended to provide more negative feedback, as expected. However, these insights can reveal areas for improvement in the recruitment process.

The Challenges

Teamwork found that their internal metrics and feedback from Glassdoor did not provide the deep insight they desired into candidate experience. While they had a high success rate with their top hires and could pull in feedback on the overall experience with the hiring process, the data lacked depth and the voice of the candidate that could inform valuable improvements in the recruitment and hiring process.

Implementing Spark Hire's ATS

The team was introduced to Spark Hire’s ATS, and the benefits of the Candidate Voice feature were immediately recognized. Candidate Voice allows Teamwork to track and measure the communication between hiring team members and candidates. This provides a deeper level of insight into what may affect the candidate experience beyond basic exit and onboarding survey responses.

For example, the feature provides stakeholders with insights about the candidates, such as how long they respond and what kind of language they use. This helps identify any gaps in communication or areas where they could improve their candidate experience. 

The data also clearly indicates where collaboration is successful and may fall short, providing invaluable insight into team communication and dynamics.
