Engagement data for tech teams spread across time zones
Short pulse surveys reach engineers, product and sales teams by email, in the office or at home, at the rhythm you choose. Give your team leads their team's engagement and eNPS, never the person behind a score.
See in action
Teams that ship weekly, surveyed once a year
Your teams already give feedback all week, in code reviews, retros and one-on-ones. Next to that, a long yearly questionnaire feels slow, and it gets rushed or skipped.
Teams you rarely see in person
Product sits in one city, engineering in two others and support on another continent. Managers lead from a distance, and the hallway chats that used to surface problems have mostly disappeared.
An org chart that keeps moving
Teams split, merge and change managers with each round of hiring. By the time a yearly survey is analyzed, some of its teams no longer exist, and recent hires never had a say.
A security review for every tool
Your IT team reviews every app before it joins the stack, and an engagement survey holds data on everyone. Expect questions on certification, single sign-on and data protection before launch.
How Sparkbay helps technology companies
Run short, frequent pulses and see results down to the team. Add each person's work arrangement to your employee data, and remote, hybrid and office employees become groups too.
Slice engagement the way you slice usage data
Put engineering, product, sales and support on one heatmap, then switch to offices or tenure. Are new hires as engaged as the people who wrote the first lines of code?
An AI summary groups a team's comments into themes, with sources cited for every point, so you can check its work. It appears only for groups with enough commenters.
When recruiters call your engineers
Good engineers leave quietly. Weekly turnover risk, shown by team and never by person, tells you which teams need attention first.
For a team's lowest-scoring questions, Sparkbay suggests what to try. The team lead can start an action plan, talk it through in its comment thread and mark each action done when it ships.

Frequently asked questions
Do you support Entra ID or Okta single sign-on?
Yes. Single sign-on works with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) and Okta, set up for your organization. Your people sign in with the work account they already use.
Can you answer our security questionnaire?
Yes. Our team will answer it, and we can sign a data processing agreement with you. Sparkbay holds ISO/IEC 27001 certification, so an independent body audits how we manage information security. Our security page explains how your data is protected.
How do surveys work across time zones?
You choose the day and hour each survey goes out, in your organization's time zone, and that hour holds through daylight-saving changes. People answer from the email link when their workday starts, and up to three reminders can follow for those who have not answered.
How do you avoid survey fatigue?
You choose the rhythm: a short recurring survey at an interval you set in weeks or months, or a one-time survey. You also set how many questions each send asks, and Sparkbay draws them from your questions, favoring those each person has not answered recently.
Does Sparkbay sync with HiBob, Rippling or BambooHR?
Yes. BambooHR connects directly; HiBob, Rippling, Personio and the other HR systems on our integrations page connect through a unified connector. Employee data syncs daily, so new hires, managers and teams stay current. No HR system yet? Import a CSV file.
