How it works
- Add a Spark Hire step to your position workflow and select Predictive Talent Assessment.
- Choose a behavioral profile that fits the role.
- Start the assessment manually or enable auto-start to invite candidates as soon as they reach the step.
- Candidates complete a short, desktop/mobile-friendly assessment and scores are calculated automatically.

Personalize your notifications
Hiring moves fast and the “right” amount of notifications looks different for everyone. Recruiters may want instant alerts the moment feedback is submitted, while hiring managers might only want updates on key events across roles they oversee. With the new Notification settings, you can tailor notifications to your workflow for less noise and more signal, helping teams stay accountable, move faster on follow-ups, and keep better visibility into hiring activity.
What’s new
- Choose what you’re notified about– Control notifications across key hiring areas like tasks, interviews, offers, candidate activity, status changes, and more, so you don’t miss critical updates.
- Pick your preferred delivery channel– Get notifications where you work best: Email and/or Slack.
- Admin controls for teams– Admins and Owners can configure notification preferences for others in the company, helping standardize team workflows and keep managers in the loop without extra setup.
