Send interview requests to your candidates

  1. After selecting the relevant Question set, click Start to initiate the Spark Hire One-way interview. This will trigger an email message from Spark Hire to the candidate with a request to take the interview.

    • ⚠️Important: If your Spark Hire plan includes SMS notifications but the candidate's phone number lacks a country code, SMS notifications won't be sent. Learn about adding a country code to phone numbers.

  2. To skip the Spark Hire step in the candidate workflow, after it has started - click Mark as completed.

    • If a candidate completes a Spark Hire One-way video interview, but the step in the flow was skipped (marked complete), the evaluation won’t appear in Comeet. Go to your Spark Hire account to view the evaluation.

⏰ Spark Hire will automatically send reminder emails to the candidate after 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours.

    • The time of completion
