"Efficient Candidate Screening, But Needs Better Candidate Management"
5/5
What do you like best about Spark Hire?

I use Spark Hire to recruit for our patient engagement centers, and it makes going through a mass amount of candidates much easier. I love how it allows me to view applicants throughout the day, fitting around my schedule and enabling me to work on other tasks while listening to candidate videos. It's very convenient, and I enjoy being able to use Spark Hire whenever I need. The initial setup was very easy, and I appreciate having someone like Vince to answer any questions I might have. I really enjoy the platform and find it really convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spark Hire?

I don't like that I can't take the candidates out after I view them. They all live on the platform or the system that you use. I want to be able to check them off. So I wish I could do that so that I'm able to make sure that I don't view the same applicant twice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tiffany Clark of Spark Hire

Thanks so much for your review, Stephanie! We love hearing that Spark Hire is helping you recruit more efficiently and with greater flexibility. I’ll definitely share your shout-out with Vince; he’ll be thrilled to hear that he’s been such a support for you.

We also appreciate your feedback about candidate management. We understand how important it is to "check off" applicants to avoid redundancy throughout the process. I’ll be sure to pass this note to our Product Team.

Today, I suggest using the evaluation feature on your dashboard’s assessments page, which will allow you to filter out evaluated candidates.

We appreciate your support and partnership!

"Meets Most Hiring Needs, but UX and Bulk Upload Integrations Need Work"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Spark Hire?

It meets most of our hiring team’s needs, and so far it’s been easy to find what we’re looking for while using it.

Also, Hadar has been super helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spark Hire?

I don’t like that there’s a separate area for the video interviews. It’s not great UX, and my team finds it confusing.

We work more like an agency, and some of the features don’t really meet our needs.

The integrations also aren’t seamless. We’re finding it very hard to upload candidates and jobs in bulk, even though that’s something we need to do every week.

Pricing is OK and AI works find for us so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tiffany Clark of Spark Hire

Thank you for your review! We’re glad to hear Hadar has been a strong resource for your team; we’ll be sure to share this review with her.

On the video interview experience: there's actually a native integration between Spark Hire's video interviewing and assessments and the applicant tracking system that allows your team to view video interviews directly within the ATS, without switching between separate areas. If that's not how it's currently set up for your team, Hadar can help you configure it. It should make a real difference for the day-to-day experience your team is describing.

Regarding your feedback about bulk uploads, with the API you have, you should be able to streamline the process of uploading candidates and jobs into the system. Our Support team can help you get that up and running if you haven't already started the implementation.

Thank you again for your honest feedback!

"A Game-Changer ATS That Streamlines Our Entire Hiring Process"
5/5
What do you like best about Spark Hire?

I like the ability that I have a single source of truth for all things regarding the candidates, interview scheduling, pre-screening templates, and to streamline our entire recruting and hiring process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spark Hire?

There is not a single downside that I can think of. This ATS is a game-changer for our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tiffany Clark of Spark Hire

Thank you for this fantastic review, Tracy! Having a single source of truth for candidate information, scheduling, feedback, and more is exactly the goal of our ATS, ensuring you and your hiring managers don’t waste invaluable time bouncing between separate tools or searching someone's inbox.

The time savings you're describing, hours to minutes on process steps and admin tasks that used to require manual effort, is what happens when the system you’ve chosen is doing what you need it to do. It’s wonderful to hear that you've found the right partner and applicant tracking system in Spark Hire!

"User-Friendly Platform for Candidates and Hiring Teams"
5/5
What do you like best about Spark Hire?

It’s user-friendly for both candidates and hiring teams. I very rarely need to answer questions from candidates about how to use the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spark Hire?

I wouldn’t call this a “dislike,” but I do wish there were a way to conduct live interviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tiffany Clark of Spark Hire

Thanks for your review, Matthew! Candidates who can move through the process without needing a tutorial are one of those things that sounds small but saves a surprising amount of recruiter time while maintaining a positive candidate experience.

One thing worth knowing: live video interviewing is actually already part of the platform. If that's something your team would find useful, your Customer Success Manager can show you where it lives and help you work it into your hiring process.

Bulk hiring for a call center and an internship program at the same time is no small feat, especially with a large pool of applicants to manage. So, it’s really great to hear that with Spark Hire, hiring managers can seamlessly carry some of that review load alongside your recruiting team.

Thanks again for your review and your continued partnership!

"User-Friendly for Companies and Applicants, with Super Responsive Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Spark Hire?

It is user friendly from a company perspective and from our applicant perspective. Their customer service is always super responsive and willing to help with any issue. It is a great tool to help speed up the hiring process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spark Hire?

Sometimes the process changes and I don't feel like the new process is easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tiffany Clark of Spark Hire

Thank you for the wonderful review, Jescee! We love hearing that Spark Hire is helping your district manage high-volume hiring, giving your managers time back. We especially appreciate that you mentioned the applicant's perspective; keeping things simple and transparent for candidates, too, should always be a top priority.

We also hear you loud and clear on the process changes. The customer experience is always at the forefront as we build. We fully understand that any changes can feel like a big hiccup when you’re used to a specific workflow. We appreciate your feedback and partnership!

"Intuitive and Easy to Learn, with Everything in One Place"
4/5
What do you like best about Spark Hire?

It is very intuitive and easy to learn. The documentation is easy, and everything is in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spark Hire?

There are certain customization things that are not as easy to do. Some of our companies are very particular about who has access, and it is hard to separate some of that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tiffany Clark of Spark Hire

Thanks for your review, Gabrielle! “Intuitive and easy to learn, with everything in one place” are some of the primary reasons teams come to and stick with Spark Hire, so it's great to hear you feel the same way about the platform.

Regarding your feedback on access and permissions, at the Enterprise tier, there are advanced configuration options for managing access across different groups. It's worth having a deeper conversation with your Customer Success Manager to ensure everything is set up in a way that aligns with your company's structure. There may be more flexibility available than what you're currently seeing.

Thanks so much for your review and continued partnership!

"Great UX, Fair Pricing, and Helpful New AI Features"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Spark Hire?

I like the UX and the pricing, and I also appreciate the new AI features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spark Hire?

I dont like the reporting system

I think a lot of the common data is missing and its very hard to get Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tiffany Clark of Spark Hire

Thank you for your review, Sunny! Hiring managers who can work easily in the platform without friction is one of those things that quietly makes a recruiter's week a lot easier, so it's great to hear that's been your experience with Spark Hire.

Regarding your feedback about the reporting capabilities of the platform, we hear your concerns. Your Customer Success Manager is a good person to talk to about what you're trying to track specifically. They may be able to help you get to it, and if not, they can provide more specifics to our Product Team about what is missing.

Thanks so much for your partnership!

"User-Friendly Experience with Clear Stage-by-Stage Tracking"
5/5
What do you like best about Spark Hire?

I really liked the product's user experience; it's very user-friendly. I also appreciated the close tracking and the breakdown into stages tailored to the differing needs of each role Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spark Hire?

Nothing really comes to mind regarding what I liked less, except maybe the job posting process, which felt a bit clunky—though that might just be because we struggled with it initially Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tiffany Clark of Spark Hire

Thank you for this detailed review! The specifics you shared on stage-by-stage tracking are especially helpful; this is the kind of structure that matters most for agencies managing multiple open roles at once. We’re thrilled to hear it's helping you keep great candidates from slipping through the cracks.

We also appreciate your feedback on the job posting process; we never want any part of implementation or setup to feel clunky. If you’re open to it, we ask that you please connect with your CSM to discuss what specifically felt difficult.

Thanks again for taking the time to share this, and for trusting Spark Hire!

"Overall Satisfaction with the ATS"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Spark Hire?

It is very intuitive to use.

Easy for both recruiters and hiring managers to operate and navigate.

The customer support and Customer Success teams are excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spark Hire?

I’m missing the ability to view a candidate’s resume directly from the evaluation screen.

I’d like more flexibility in managing access permissions at the candidate level, rather than only at the job requisition level, especially for hiring managers or peers who need visibility into specific candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tiffany Clark of Spark Hire

Thank you for taking the time to share this review, Efrat! It’s fantastic to hear that both recruiters and hiring managers find Spark Hire’s platform easy to navigate. Getting hiring managers to actually stay in the system is one of the core challenges Spark Hire is built to solve.

We also appreciate your feedback regarding having the ability to view a resume directly from the evaluation screen and more granular candidate-level permissions. Your dedicated Customer Success Manager will reach out shortly to discuss this feedback, and we'll make sure this gets in front of our product team, as well.

Thanks again for sharing your experience and trusting Spark Hire to support your global hiring.

"Easy for Hiring Managers, Strong AI Screening—Reporting Automation Needs Work"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Spark Hire?

its easy to use for hiring managers, and the new AI feature works very good and really saves us a lot o screening in high volume positions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spark Hire?

1. reports - sharing customiz רוed reports on a timely defined basis to be sent automatically

2. managing special referral campaigns within the system

3. add priorities order to position to admin - so recruitment or hr manager can defined top to bottom the priority of each positions

4. adding discreet note section to be shared only with hr team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Tiffany Clark of Spark Hire

Thank you for sharing this review! Hiring managers who can work independently within the system, combined with AI screening that actually holds up under high application volumes, is a combination we have put a lot of work into. Hearing that Spark Hire AI is delivering for your team, and your hiring managers are working seamlessly within the platform, is fantastic.

Your feedback on reporting automation, referral campaign management, position prioritization, and internal HR notes is incredibly helpful. We'll share this feedback with our Product Team. We also recommend speaking directly with your CSM, who can share more detailed resources and support.

In the meantime, we wanted to share a few details that you may find useful today:

- Currently, there is a Referrals report available in the system, which provides visibility into the volume, percentage, and quality of candidates referred by employees across your organization, as well as the volume and percentage of hires made through referrals. The reporting period can be filtered based on either the application date or the date candidates were added.

- There is also an option to apply filters to tasks, allowing recruiters to display the way that is most convenient for them.

- Finally, while notes at the position level are not currently available, it is possible to add notes at the candidate level and define who will have visibility to them.

Thanks so much for your partnership!
