See how candidates align with different roles using a single Predictive Behavioral Assessment. Whether you're determining where new applicants may fit best or exploring additional opportunities for existing candidates, you can evaluate their fit across multiple positions without requiring another assessment.
What's new
  • Evaluate multiple profiles
    : Add or update secondary behavioral profiles to assess candidates against additional roles, even after they've completed their assessments.
  • View and download profile-specific results
    : See fit results for each behavioral profile directly within the candidate profile and download reports for any selected profile.
  • Preserve overall job fit
    : Secondary profiles provide additional insights without changing the candidate's overall job fit.
Getting started
Navigate to a job's
Assessments
tab to add secondary profiles. Once a candidate completes their Predictive Behavioral Assessment, you can view results and download reports for each selected profile from their candidate profile.

    Multiple processes
    .
  2. One click to select all:
    Select an entire list or group of candidates or leads to take bulk actions faster. Available in positions, My Tasks, Completed tasks, and Talent search.
  3. A better-organized Description tab:
    Position details are now grouped into clear sections, with indicators showing which job post fields appear on job boards, and an improved text editor.
  4. A refreshed Settings tab:
    An updated design brings a cleaner, more consistent experience to managing position settings.
  5. A cleaner Teammates page:
    Redesigned teammate cards make it easier to view statuses and take action directly from each card.

Spark Hire AI

AI Notetaker enhancements

We’ve added new enhancements to
AI Notetaker
, currently in beta, to give teams and candidates more transparency and control. Teams can now request candidate consent before recording, manually add or remove AI Notetaker from an interview, and download interview transcripts for easy reference after the interview.
How it works
  • Request candidate consent:
    Admins can ask candidates to choose whether they consent to recording before joining an interview
  • Add or remove AI Notetaker during an interview:
    Interviewers can manually remove and re-add AI Notetaker from an interview at any time.
  • Download interview transcripts:
    Teammates with access can download the full interview transcript. Currently available in English only.

AI Notetaker is currently in beta. See our help article for more details.
When candidates don’t respond to a request to schedule an interview, you risk losing them. Automated follow-ups help you keep candidates engaged without manually tracking unanswered invites.
When you invite a candidate to select a time for their interview, Spark Hire AI suggests a follow-up message that you can enable with a click.
How it works
  • Enable a follow-up email when sending a self-scheduling invite
  • Start with text suggested by Spark Hire AI and edit it as needed
  • Choose when the follow-up should be sent if the candidate does not respond
  • Spark Hire will cancel the scheduled follow-up if it’s no longer needed, such as when the candidate responds, schedules the interview, or is no longer in progress
