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.

Instead of multiple initial screening calls, you’ll have one opportunity to introduce yourself, discuss your experience supporting executives, managing complex calendars, coordinating projects, handling confidential information, and keeping leadership organized in fast-paced environments.

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

Please keep an eye on both your inbox and spam folder for your Spark Hire invitation after applying.
