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 corporate finance experience, and highlight your background in financial planning, modeling, forecasting, reporting, and strategic analysis. Your video will be reviewed before moving forward in the interview process.

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