Spark Hire review

Spark Hire ranks first because it covers the two formats recruiters use most, one-way screens and live interviews, on every plan without counting interviews. The annual plan starts at $249 per month and includes unlimited jobs and users, while the month-to-month plan starts at $299 and caps you at 5 jobs and 5 users. Candidates land on a branded portal with intro and outro videos, and recruiters can record or upload their own video questions and set think time, take limits and answer length per question. Invites go out by link, SMS or bulk CSV, and reminders and deadline extensions are automated. Spark Hire AI transcribes answers in 50+ languages, summarizes them and scores them against key factors. It connects to 40+ applicant tracking systems and to thousands of apps through Zapier. The trade-off is that useful extras such as API access, single sign-on and interview downloads sit behind add-ons or the annual contract.
