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 screening calls, you’ll have one opportunity to introduce yourself, discuss your experience with Power BI, SQL, Python, GIS, and Azure technologies, and explain how you’ve transformed complex datasets into actionable dashboards and reporting solutions. You’ll also have the opportunity to highlight your analytical thinking, technical problem-solving skills, and experience building scalable business intelligence solutions. Your video will be reviewed by the hiring team before moving forward to the technical interview.
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.
