Case Study: Barrick Gold achieves faster, more efficient candidate screening with Spark Hire

How Barrick Gold Corporation Uses Spark Hire To Modernize Their Hiring Process

Barrick Gold Corporation, a leading gold mining company focused on operational excellence, set out to modernize hiring as part of a broader digital transformation. Faced with high-volume hiring for Digital/IMT and operational roles, the talent team needed to automate and speed up time‑consuming pre‑screening without deterring candidates.

They adopted Spark Hire’s one‑way and live video interviews to replace many phone screens and calendar scheduling. The change cut average screening time from about 30 minutes to 6–7 minutes, saved recruiters hours, maintained strong candidate response rates, and provided recorded interviews for easier review and collaboration.
