Case Study: Harper Creek Community Schools achieves faster, fairer hiring with Spark Hire video interviews

How Harper Creek Community Schools Improves Their First Look at Applicants With Spark Hire Video Interviews

Harper Creek Community Schools is a K–12 public district in Battle Creek, Michigan, serving three elementary schools plus a middle and high school. The HR team sought a way to evaluate candidates earlier and more fairly: they wanted one-way video interviews so top applicants could demonstrate skills before in-person rounds, principals could review screenings to improve interview quality, and the process would be accessible regardless of candidate location.

They implemented Spark Hire one-way video interviewing and praised the onboarding and customer support. Using recorded screening interviews let them narrow applicants more accurately and fairly, reduce the number of in-person interviews, shorten time-to-hire, and gain strong hiring-manager buy-in—leading the district to continue using the platform.
