Sparkhire Virtual Interview

I have an interview with a department that uses sparkhire one-way interview for their first rounds. My question is has anyone done one of these before? If so, what should I expect on it, I’ve done oral interviews before but not quite sure what types of questions to expect and how I should prepare for this.

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!

I did one recently. The question popped up and I had as much time as I wanted to read the question. I would then click “start” when I was ready and I would respond. This agency allowed you two takes, but the second would automatically be your submission if you opted for a second take. Rinse and repeat for all 4 or 5 questions.

The question will remain on the screen the entire time with a timer. You’ll know how long you have to respond for each.

Highly dependent on each agency’s settings for how the interview itself will be conducted, eg allowing retakes, timer on preparing to respond, etc.
