What is Spark Hire?

Spark Hire is wiring the job description into every AI judgement it makes about a candidate

Spark Hire runs interviewing and recruiting across two products, Meet and Recruit, and has been shipping steadily through August. The AI work is the centre of gravity: an AI Notetaker, suggested interview question sets, and AI Video Review now rating candidates against the job description and scorecard with visible rationale. Around it sits pipeline hygiene — duplicate application handling, lead pipeline movement, a unified navigation that folds Assessments and AI under Settings — and now configurable application forms.

What is Turnover-IT?

Turnover-IT opened its CV database via APIs, then went quiet for three months

Turnover-IT has been leaning into API-led integration with customer ATS systems: Talent Search to query the CV library from a customer's own tooling, Profile Sync to push candidate updates back into customer environments, automated competency-file generation with custom templates, and applicant-side custom questions. The feed publishes each release two or three times — an English capture, a French capture, and in some cases a second English capture with broken emoji encoding — which makes the changelog look busier than the release count. Nothing new has been published since Profile Sync on 4 May 2026.

Spark Hire vs Turnover-IT: editorial side-by-side

S6.3

Spark Hire is wiring the job description into every AI judgement it makes about a candidate

◆ Current state

Spark Hire runs interviewing and recruiting across two products, Meet and Recruit, and has been shipping steadily through August. The AI work is the centre of gravity: an AI Notetaker, suggested interview question sets, and AI Video Review now rating candidates against the job description and scorecard with visible rationale. Around it sits pipeline hygiene — duplicate application handling, lead pipeline movement, a unified navigation that folds Assessments and AI under Settings — and now configurable application forms.

◆ Where it's heading

The pattern is consistent: take a judgement a recruiter makes by hand and give the model the same context the recruiter has, then show its reasoning rather than just its score. Ratings derive from the job description when no scorecard exists, and every rated factor expands to the evidence behind it. The non-AI releases are mostly about controlling what enters the funnel — customisable forms for candidates, referrers and internal applicants, duplicate suppression, careers-site configuration without code. Both threads point at reducing the volume a human has to read.

◆ Prediction

Application form fields and AI evaluation are converging on the same data, so expect the collected form answers to start feeding candidate ratings directly rather than being reviewed separately.

T0.0

Turnover-IT opened its CV database via APIs, then went quiet for three months

◆ Current state

Turnover-IT has been leaning into API-led integration with customer ATS systems: Talent Search to query the CV library from a customer's own tooling, Profile Sync to push candidate updates back into customer environments, automated competency-file generation with custom templates, and applicant-side custom questions. The feed publishes each release two or three times — an English capture, a French capture, and in some cases a second English capture with broken emoji encoding — which makes the changelog look busier than the release count. Nothing new has been published since Profile Sync on 4 May 2026.

◆ Where it's heading

The strategy visible in these releases moves Turnover-IT from a destination tool to an API-shaped service inside whatever ATS or recruiting suite a customer already runs, with automated competency dossiers as the value that travels alongside the candidate data. The 360-tier labelling on these features signals an explicit upmarket play. What the feed cannot tell you is whether that push continued: the three-and-a-half month silence since Profile Sync is the most conspicuous fact in the current window, and the entries give no reason for it.

◆ Prediction

The feed does not support a confident prediction while it is dormant. If publishing resumes, the API-first line — candidate matching or assessment results exposed the same way — is the direction the existing releases point to, and the duplicate multilingual publishing will likely persist until the changelog feed is unified.
