What Happens After You Apply

After submitting your application, you’ll receive an email invitation from Spark Hire to record a short 3–5 minute Intro Video. This is the first step in our hiring process and can be completed whenever it’s convenient for you.

Rather than repeating your experience across multiple screening calls, you’ll have one opportunity to introduce yourself, discuss your paid media background, highlight campaigns you’ve managed, and explain how you’ve improved metrics such as CPL, CPA, ROAS, and lead quality. Your video will be reviewed by the hiring team before moving to the client interview.

You can record your video as many times as you’d like before submitting it—only your final version will be reviewed.
