What is Spark Hire?
Spark Hire automates the hiring funnel step by step — now reference checks.
Spark Hire's Recruit ATS is on a consistent automation push: AI Resume Review now enforces non-negotiable 'knockout' requirements, reference checks run as an automated workflow step, and scheduling, interview reminders, and self-scheduling invites increasingly send themselves. The pattern is removing manual coordination from each stage of hiring.
What is Miter?
Miter is stacking construction-specific HR modules toward a full vertical suite
Miter methodically broadens its construction-focused HCM and payroll platform, shipping monthly across HR, payroll, and field operations. Its June release, Performance 2.0, adds a rebuilt review module designed for how construction reviews actually happen across the field and the office.

◆ Current state
Spark Hire's Recruit ATS is on a consistent automation push: AI Resume Review now enforces non-negotiable 'knockout' requirements, reference checks run as an automated workflow step, and scheduling, interview reminders, and self-scheduling invites increasingly send themselves. The pattern is removing manual coordination from each stage of hiring.
◆ Where it's heading
Spark Hire is differentiating on end-to-end automation of the recruiting workflow, leaning on its own video-interview and assessment products (Meet, proctoring) to power steps competitors leave manual. AI Resume Review is becoming a sharper gating tool, and scheduling is moving toward hands-off.
◆ Prediction
Expect more of the funnel to automate — deeper AI screening, more auto-sent candidate touchpoints — and continued tightening of AI Resume Review accuracy and re-evaluation.

Miter is stacking construction-specific HR modules toward a full vertical suite
◆ Current state
Miter methodically broadens its construction-focused HCM and payroll platform, shipping monthly across HR, payroll, and field operations. Its June release, Performance 2.0, adds a rebuilt review module designed for how construction reviews actually happen across the field and the office.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is vertical-suite consolidation: offboarding checklists, automated PTO payouts, field daily-reporting, payroll corrections, and now performance reviews. Miter keeps closing gaps a general HR tool would leave open for construction firms, deepening its footprint one workflow at a time.
◆ Prediction
Expect upcoming releases to keep filling the construction HR-to-payroll lifecycle — likely expanding Performance 2.0 after the June webinar and adding more field-first workflows.
