Case Study: Education Personnel achieves more tangible candidate presentations and faster shortlisting with Spark Hire

How Education Personnel Showcases Their Top Candidates and Make Them More Tangible To Clients

Education Personnel Ltd is a New Zealand Ministry of Education–preferred recruitment firm that places teachers and education staff locally and internationally. Faced with a large pool of overseas candidates and schools that couldn’t meet them face‑to‑face, they needed a way to present applicants more tangibly than a CV—requiring downloadable, time‑zone‑flexible video profiles with the option for candidates to re-record before submitting.

They selected Spark Hire for its responsiveness, customizability and value, and now routinely ask candidates to answer 3–5 video questions. The downloadable videos are used as a screening and shortlisting tool, included in candidate profiles sent to schools, which has improved recruiting efficiency, driven full team buy‑in and generated strong positive feedback from clients who can now better visualise and assess top candidates.
