Case Study: ORAU halves time-to-hire for time-sensitive requisitions with Spark Hire

How ORAU Uses Spark Hire to Cut Hiring Time in Half for Time-Sensitive Requisitions

ORAU, a consortium of Ph.D.-granting institutions that provides scientific and technical solutions for federal, state and local partners, faced time-sensitive recruiting projects that required filling positions in under 30 days. With candidates and recruiters on busy schedules, ORAU needed a flexible interviewing tool that preserved interview quality while enabling faster scheduling.

ORAU adopted Spark Hire’s video interviewing—sending vetted candidates a one-way interview to complete within 24 hours after an initial phone screen—which allowed interviews to happen anytime, anywhere. The result: ORAU halved its time-to-fill for urgent requisitions, improved assessment of candidate skills and deadline management, achieved quick recruiter buy-in, and benefited from strong customer support and reduced hiring costs.
