Case Study: Lower Dauphin School District reduces wasted interviews and improves candidate quality with Spark Hire video interviewing

How Lower Dauphin School District Extends Candidate Resumes With Spark Hire Video Interviews

Lower Dauphin School District is a public Pennsylvania district serving about 4,000 students across five elementary schools, a middle school and a high school with roughly 550 staff. The HR team wanted to save time and improve the consistency and quality of applicants by avoiding lengthy preliminary interviews that quickly showed a candidate wasn't a fit.

They adopted Spark Hire to replace phone screens with one-way and collaborative video interviews because it was simple to use and well supported. About 80% of applicants complete the video step, which encourages self-selection, speeds hiring managers’ shortlisting, reduces wasted interview time, and produces higher-quality candidates — allowing multiple reviewers to jointly evaluate and treat videos as an extension of each candidate’s resume.
