Case Study: Crush Empire achieves 10x faster candidate screening with Spark Hire

How Crush Empire Vets Candidates 10x Faster Than Before

Crush Empire is a fast-growing online test-prep company in Sorrento Valley, CA, building a team to support product innovation. As a small startup, the CEO and COO were running up to 20 in-person interviews per week—about 40 hours of work—that created hiring bottlenecks and pulled them away from core business priorities.

They implemented Spark Hire’s one-way video interviews after a resume screen to evaluate both skills and personality quickly. The new workflow made screening 10x faster (reducing weekly screening from 40 to 4 hours), doubled their conversion rate, saved thousands annually, supported nearly 10x team growth, and helped nearly triple gross annual revenue.
