How to troubleshoot missing interview transcripts, videos, or notes in BrightHire?

Troubleshoot missing interview

Written by Jennifer Steinker

If an interview is missing in BrightHire, it’s usually because the Notetaker didn’t stay in the meeting or the recording was canceled/stopped.

Why recordings/transcripts/notes go missing:


- Notetaker removed or “Stop/Delete” was used: If someone removes the Notetaker or stops/deletes recording, BrightHire does not keep any recording artifacts (audio/video/transcript/notes), including anything captured earlier in the call. Best practice: use Pause for sensitive moments instead.


- Notetaker left shortly after joining: This is often caused by meeting settings or permissions; we’ll need to review the meeting details to diagnose.


- Notetaker never joined: Confirm the interview was scheduled to record (e.g., auto-join rules for the role/position, user-level import rules, or the calendar event invited [email protected]).

What to do next
- If you have a transcript but notes are missing, use Ask Assistant to generate a summary.
- Request a human via chat.
