We’ve added two new metrics to the Analytics page and Job Overview page to help recruiting teams better understand how quickly assessments move through their hiring process.
With
Time to submit
and
Time to evaluate
, teams can now see how long it takes candidates to complete an assessment and how long it takes hiring team members to review it. These insights make it easier to spot delays, improve responsiveness, and keep hiring on track.
What’s new
  • Time to submit:
    Track how long it takes candidates to submit an assessment after it’s assigned.
  • Time to evaluate:
    See how long it takes hiring team members to review completed assessments.
  • Better visibility into bottlenecks:
    Identify where delays are happening so your team can take action sooner.
  • View performance by job or across jobs:
    Monitor assessment turnaround times at the individual job level or across multiple jobs for a broader view of team performance.

Proctoring helps teams identify possible misconduct in One-Way Video Interviews through team review and optional AI-powered detection. Your team can flag concerning responses during review, while AI can automatically highlight responses that may indicate AI-generated content, helping you prioritize reviews and increase efficiency.
How it works
  • Your team can flag interviews as Authentic or Misconduct
  • If enabled, Spark Hire AI can flag AI-generated content to highlight potential AI use
  • Interviews with possible misconduct are clearly marked across the platform
  • System-generated flags support prioritization and can be overridden by the team

Keep your hiring content organized and accessible. With Library item access and permissions, your team can easily see who owns each item, reassign ownership when needed, and control who can use or edit content. This ensures nothing gets lost when roles change and helps manage access to sensitive content.
How it works
  • Manage key hiring content, including
    email templates
    ,
    interview questions
    ,
    scorecards
    , and
    tags
    , in one place
  • Quickly
    see and reassign ownership
    of library items
  • Set access to
    Shared or Restricted
    depending on your needs
  • Keep content
    accessible
    , even when teammates leave

We’ve improved the English proficiency score in AI Video Review to better reflect what employers usually look for: candidates who can communicate clearly on the job.
The score is now more aligned with practical workplace communication, putting more emphasis on clarity and articulation and less emphasis on minor grammar mistakes:
  • Strong
    — The candidate can communicate clearly on the job using job-specific vocabulary with proper grammar and sentence structure.
  • Neutral
    — The candidate can communicate clearly on the job using job-specific vocabulary.
  • Weak
    — The candidate may have difficulty communicating clearly on the job.
Getting started
The updated English proficiency score is now live and applies to all new AI Video Review ratings of One-Way Video Interview submissions.
