What happens after you apply
Right after you apply, you’ll receive an email invitation from Spark Hire to record your Intro Video. It’s a short, self-recorded video, completed once on your own time, and it’s the final step that completes your application.
Here’s why we do it this way. Instead of repeating yourself on screening call after screening call, you tell your story once and it carries forward. Hiring managers get to see how you actually communicate before you meet, so when you’re a fit, the first conversation isn’t starting from scratch. Fewer interviews, and the ones you do have count for more.
Don’t overthink it. Record it as many times as you like—nobody sees the takes you discard. Just be yourself. Your Intro Video invitation will come from Spark Hire, our trusted video interview platform, so please keep an eye on both your inbox and spam folder for the email.
