Do you need a major HR system to fill one position?
No. You can use Sparkly to fill just one position. The initial portal setup takes approximately 15 minutes, followed by around 18 minutes to configure the recruitment workflow for a specific role—about 33 minutes of recruiter time in total.
This lets you start without a lengthy implementation project, extensive training or complicated preparation.
How do you make hundreds of applicants comparable?
- Define the role requirements before reviewing any applicants.
- Give every applicant the same mandatory, role-relevant assessments.
- Use the combined score only to create an initial ranking—not to reject applicants automatically.
- Move the strongest 10–20 applicants to the Decision Board.
- Compare their fit across job responsibilities, team dynamics, values and potential risks.
- Interview finalists using the same structured questions.
- Use AI-generated summaries and CV writing style only as supporting information. The final decision always remains with a person.
What does the 33-minute estimate include?
The estimated 33 minutes covers the initial portal setup and configuration of the role-specific recruitment workflow: around 15 minutes for the Sparkly foundation and around 18 minutes for the role requirements, assessments and decision flow.
It does not include the time applicants or employees spend completing assessments. Actual setup time may vary with the complexity of the role and how clearly its requirements have already been defined.
Why is the combined score not used for automatic rejection?
The combined score helps create an initial order in a large applicant pool, but it does not replace professional judgement. On the Decision Board, reviewers can examine the responsibilities, team fit, values and potential risks behind the score. This keeps the decision explainable and under human control.
Less manual screening. More comparable information. Better-informed hiring decisions.
