⭐️ Evaluating assessments in Spark Hire Meet

Spark Hire Meet supports multiple evaluation methods to keep your review process organized and consistent.

One thing to keep in mind is that candidates do not see your evaluations.

Video Interview

Recommendation 1: Rating + Recommendation + Takeaways

The following method for evaluating completed interviews is recommended if you prefer rating the individual responses in a video interview.

• Rate each question in the one-way video interview (or the whole live video interview) on a 5-star scale
• Provide a Recommendation (Strong Hire, Proceed, Not Sure, or No Hire)
• Write any relevant notes in the Takeaways section (Pros, Cons, Further Review)
• The ratings from all team members who submit an evaluation are combined into the Team Average

Recommendation 2: Customized Scorecard + Recommendation + Takeaways

The following method for evaluating completed interviews is recommended if you prefer scoring a candidate's interview against custom criteria (vs. rating each question). Keep in mind that customizable scorecards are only available on specific plans.

• Define 4–6 clear criteria per job and create a customized scorecard
• Rate the candidate against each criteria based on their video interview
• Provide a Recommendation (Strong Hire, Proceed, Not Sure, or No Hire)
• Write any relevant notes in the Takeaways section (Pros, Cons, Further Review)
• The scores from all team members who submit an evaluation are combined into the Team Average

Predictive Talent Assessment

When candidates submit the Predictive Talent Assessment, it is scored within a few minutes and you get a variety of insights including:

• Overall fit score ("Fit for role")
• Behavioral competencies (from the Predictive Profile selected)
• Top competencies (regardless of the Predictive Profile)
• Personal characteristics
• Workplace motivation

Learn more about how to interpret the results of the Predictive Talent Assessment here.

Reference Check

Since Reference Checks are based on the feedback of a candidate's references, they are marked as Evaluated once any feedback is provided by a reference and no automatic scoring is done.

🗃️ Sort based on evaluation data

When viewing the Assessment list, you can sort using the evaluation data. Here are some examples:

Video Interview

• Sort: Team average
• Filters:
  • Recommendation
  • Result (Pass/Fail)

Predictive Talent Assessment

You can sort submitted assessments by their score AND filter to only show candidates who scored at a certain level.

• Sort and filters:
  • Fit for role
  • Workplace motivation

Reference Check

• Filters: Evaluated

👥 Sharing assessments outside of Spark Hire Meet

If your hiring managers only need to see shortlists/specific completed assessments rather than all, we simply suggest sharing them outside of Spark Hire Meet.

Here's how to do that for each assessment type:

Predictive Talent Assessment

When a candidate completes a Predictive Talent Assessment, their results are not only displayed to you in the Spark Hire Meet interface, but you can also download beautiful reports to share with managers:

Hiring Report (see example) – Assess the candidate’s behavioral competencies, strengths, and potential fit for the role. Share this report with recruiters and managers to help guide informed hiring decisions and make the selection process more effective.

Coaching Report (see example) – This report is identical to the Hiring report but does not include percentile scores. Share this report with managers to help them guide coaching conversations and support the candidate’s growth.

Reference Check

For Reference Checks, you can simply copy and paste the results to a manager since they are just text. Alternatively, you can select the text on the screen and use the Print functionality to save it as a PDF.
