Spark Hire and Comeet – Two Leaders in Hiring Solutions Join Forces to Revolutionize Talent Acquisition

Spark Hire, the world’s #1 video interview platform, has announced the integration of Comeet, a leading applicant tracking system, into its innovative product offerings. By creating an unparalleled suite of talent acquisition solutions that leverages cutting-edge technologies and expertise, this merger is a major milestone for both companies.

Founded in 2012, Spark Hire is an award-winning video interviewing software company that empowers thousands of satisfied customers globally to improve their speed to hire. A one-stop shop for fast and effective candidate screening tools, the platform facilitates key stakeholder collaboration to improve hiring outcomes. 

Streamlining early interviews by mitigating scheduling conflicts allows hiring teams to screen more candidates with greater accuracy and extend offers to top candidates at least 2x faster. Spark Hire continues to develop solutions that streamline more parts of the hiring process for mid-market companies, including partnering with leaders in hiring efficiency.

Comeet, established in 2013, has been at the forefront of applicant tracking and candidate management platforms. The company has a proven track record of helping renowned enterprises, such as KPMG, Fiverr, and Monday.com streamline and optimize hiring processes. With its innovative approach, Comeet has created a significant impact on talent acquisition. And its mission aligns seamlessly with Spark Hire’s vision to revolutionize the end-to-end hiring process.

The merger between Spark Hire and Comeet leverages the strengths of both companies. With shared target markets and complementary technologies, the combined entity will serve an extensive customer base of over 7,000 companies. Following the merger, both products and brands will continue to operate independently, ensuring a seamless experience for customers. 

This merger positions Spark Hire to bring a comprehensive suite of hiring solutions to the talent acquisition industry. 

Josh Tolan, CEO of Spark Hire, said, “This merger with Comeet represents a strategic opportunity for Spark Hire. We are excited to join forces with a company that has a strong international presence, a highly-rated applicant tracking system, and a track record of exceptional customer satisfaction. Together, we will continue to innovate and provide our customers with unrivaled talent acquisition solutions.”

Omer Tadjer, co-founder and CEO of Comeet, added, “We have always been committed to empowering talent acquisition leaders and revolutionizing the hiring process. This merger with Spark Hire enables us to accelerate our mission, leveraging their expertise and resources to deliver even greater value to our customers.”

The merger represents a transformative step in the talent acquisition landscape. Spark Hire and Comeet are united by their shared vision of driving the industry forward through innovation and customer-centric solutions. The integration of these two companies facilitated through Boathouse Capital, a prominent private equity firm, will undoubtedly provide businesses with a more comprehensive suite of recruiting and hiring solutions, helping them streamline their processes and find the right talent faster.
