💪 Guide Assistant strengthens interview guides faster: Refine interview questions, rubrics, and generate follow-ups to improve interview quality with less effort.

🚀 Quick-Start an AI interviewer: Deploy an agent in minutes without an ATS integration and then integrate fully with your ATS later.

For recruiters and admins who want to improve hiring quality and confidence at every stage, this session will show you how to assess skill coverage across your hiring process, uncover gaps in your evaluations, and drive more consistent, structured decisions — all within BrightHire.

How much hiring quality are you losing to an inconsistent hiring process?

The good news is that AI is giving teams a way to achieve consistency at scale. Join us for a webinar to chat through how leading talent teams are using AI to execute hiring plans consistently — from planning and screening interviews through to decision-making and continuous improvement.

We recently launched The Debrief – a bi-weekly podcast delivering 20 minutes of unscripted insights into one critical talent acquisition topic per episode.

In the most recent episode that launched today, Ben, Chris, and Tracy discuss how team teams of the present are different from TA teams of the past – What did they used to be obsessed with that they don’t really care about anymore? And what’s causing this shift?

Screen gives more candidates a fair shot through structured, consistent interviews that go beyond the resume. New features further deliver on that promise by helping candidates gain confidence, while building trust with the hiring team from the outset.

Candidates can practice with a light warm-up to get comfortable before the real interview

A short video introduction by the hiring manager brings the human into the experience.

You already trust BrightHire to elevate live interviews — now extend that power to screening interviews.

Screen automates structured, two-way conversations so you can give more candidates a real shot without adding recruiter workload. When Overjet rolled it out, they saw a 9% month-over-month increase in SDR hires, proving you can widen access and drive measurable hiring outcomes at the same time.

Existing BrightHire customers are now eligible to try our AI interviewer for Free. Get 2 AI interview agents and up to 50 interviews for 60 days – no strings attached.

Advanced Insights now includes a location filter. See what candidates in different markets are asking for, compare expectations across regions, and use the insights to better inform your compensation planning.

BrightHire can now accurately transcribe interviews conducted in multiple languages. When speakers switch between languages during a conversation, BrightHire captures the full transcript across each language. This release also adds support for Traditional Chinese transcription.

When enabled, the candidate’s video is included as part of their AI interview, giving hiring teams additional signals like body language. Use it when video adds value, skip it when it doesn’t — all while keeping interviews structured and consistent.

With new role-based permissions, you can use Screen at scale, collaborating more easily across recruiting and hiring teams. Confidently share AI Interviews with the right teammates without overexposing candidate data, and assign view or edit access at the AI Interview level. Sensitive candidate information is limited to approved users, improving compliance and security.
