Frequently asked questions
For us to drive an even larger hiring advantage for our customers, we saw an opportunity to expand the scope of our offerings and where we sit in the hiring process.
Historically, Spark Hire has been known for its #1-rated video interviewing solution.
The acquisition of Chally along with upcoming launches such as automated reference check transforms the video interviewing solution into a comprehensive Talent Assessment Platform that helps our customers make better and faster decisions in the hiring process.
In addition, Spark Hire acquired Comeet, an applicant tracking system, in June 2023.
Spark Hire’s Talent Assessment Platform (Video Interviews, Assessments, Reference Checks) will integrate with its Hiring Platform (ATS with a CRM on the way). The combination of these platforms makes up Spark Hire’s Talent Acquisition Suite.
Ultimately, this is a major milestone for Spark Hire and another example of our continued commitment to serving our customers.
There will be no changes to your existing Spark Hire account, current contract, or support level as a result of the acquisition.
Chally’s assessment solution will become native to the Spark Hire platform meaning we will be incorporating all of the functionality rather than you bouncing between two systems. The exact timeline is to be determined.
As a Spark Hire customer, this means you’ll be able to perform video interviews, assessments, and reference checks from a single place!
While we still have some work to do to bake Chally’s assessment solution into the Spark Hire platform, we’d love to share how our new offering can benefit your hiring process.
