aperture vs spark hire.

Pick spark hire if
- price is the whole decision, and you've quietly accepted what cheap one-way video does to candidate signal.
- you don't mind scripting the questions and watching every answer yourself, that's the job as far as you're concerned.
Pick aperture if
- you want adaptive conversation instead of scripted video prompts.
- you want λ-core scoring, not manual review of 50 videos per role.
- you're tired of candidate drop-off on one-way video.
- you want applicant tracking included, not a separate tool.

common questions.
Is aperture a spark hire alternative?+
Yes. aperture replaces scripted video prompts with adaptive conversations, and replaces manual review with scored, ranked shortlists.
Why not just use one-way video?+
Scripted prompts get gamed, have high drop-off, and leave you reviewing video manually. Adaptive interviews plus scoring save hours per role.
