VoxScreen vs Spark Hire

Spark Hire is one of the longest-running names in video interviewing and now sells a full ATS alongside it. VoxScreen does one thing: screen a pile of applicants down to a ranked shortlist, at a price a small team can approve without a meeting.

When Spark Hire is the better choice

You want an ATS and a video interview tool from one vendor on one contract.
You buy on an annual contract through procurement. The ATS plans are annual only and priced for that.
You want behavioural assessment and automated reference checks in the same purchase.
You want a take limit on each question, or deadline extensions candidates can request themselves. Spark Hire has both. VoxScreen has neither: candidates re-record freely while the clock runs, and a retake is your team's decision.
You want a library of several saved templates for each kind of email. Spark Hire keeps one. VoxScreen has one template per email for the account, plus one per job.

When VoxScreen is the better choice

You already have an ATS, or you have no ATS and don't want one yet. VoxScreen connects through Zapier, Make or its REST API.
$249/mo on an annual commitment is a big first step for screening. VoxScreen's free plan takes 50 candidates a month and Starter is $39.
You want your whole team in without an annual contract. Spark Hire's month-to-month video plan allows 5 users. Unlimited users needs the annual one. VoxScreen never counts them.
You want each answer scored against a rubric you wrote, with the reasoning for every criterion next to the transcript, and a CEFR level on how the candidate speaks.
An interview runs out of time or a camera fails partway, and you want to reopen it for that candidate, keeping what they recorded. Spark Hire publishes take limits and deadline extensions. VoxScreen gives more time or a fresh start in one click, on every plan.
You hire for more than one brand. Spark Hire brands the portal on its video plans, but additional brand profiles are an add-on you have to ask them to price. VoxScreen puts your logo and colors on interviews and candidate emails on every plan, the free one included.
