BrightHire develops interview intelligence and AI-supported screening for recruiting teams.

What BrightHire does

BrightHire provides interview intelligence and AI screening for recruiting teams. Its Interview Intelligence platform connects preparation, live interviews, structured notes and insights from the hiring process.

BrightHire Screen runs asynchronous voice or video interviews using questions and evaluation criteria configured by the employer. Recruiters review summaries, transcripts and scores in their ATS, with screening and live-interview records available side by side.

Interview guides and copilots support the people conducting later conversations, while the shared rubric helps teams compare evidence consistently. The products can be adopted together or separately. BrightHire supports human hiring decisions with a more complete interview record rather than making the selection on the employer’s behalf.
