Case Study: University of Wisconsin Law & Entrepreneurship Clinic achieves streamlined candidate screening and improved hiring collaboration with Spark Hire

How the University of Wisconsin Law & Entrepreneurship Clinic Uses Spark Hire to Improve Hiring Collaboration

The University of Wisconsin Law & Entrepreneurship Clinic is a small educational practice that provides free legal services to entrepreneurs while giving law students hands‑on experience. With one annual hiring cycle for entry‑level student attorney roles, the clinic receives about 70–80 applicants for roughly 10–15 openings and needed a faster, less schedule‑dependent way to screen candidates.

They adopted Spark Hire’s one‑way video interviews, asking 3–4 screening questions so a team of 3–6 reviewers could watch and rate responses on their own time. This replaced time‑consuming phone screens, improved candidate experience by allowing retakes, and helped the clinic narrow applicants to 30–40 for in‑person interviews — ultimately hiring about 30 people and streamlining the entire process.
