Release Notes - July 2026

Written by Jennifer Steinker

Product Updates:

šŸ›”ļøCandidate Fraud Detection

Last month, we introduced our solution to the growing challenge of candidate fraud. BrightHire now surfaces fraud signals directly in your interviews, with the evidence behind every one, so your team can hire with confidence and stand behind every decision.
​Request early access here.

Recent additions:

šŸ”€ Review workflow for Fraud Signals – Customers can mark signals as reviewed, flag the interview as clean, suspicious, or bad and leave specific notes for others to see — keeping a human-in-the-loop on any potential fraud that’s detected.

šŸ” Control Who Sees Fraud Signals — Admins can now restrict Candidate Fraud Detection visibility by org role (e.g., limit it to Recruiters and Admins) and extend access to specific hiring teams without opening it up org-wide.

šŸ”Œ Interview Details API includes Candidate Fraud Detection — Enterprise customers can pull the same fraud signals they see in BrightHire (severity, risk summaries, supporting evidence) through our existing Interview Details API, for both Screen and Live interviews — enabling custom ATS integrations, security workflows, and reporting.

What's New with BrightHire Screen

šŸ—£ļø Improved Conversational Intelligence —The voice infrastructure that powers every AI interview just got a major upgrade: more natural turn-taking, fewer false interruptions, and more reliable connections from start to finish.

Get Early Access to New Interview Features

šŸ¤– Autofill Assistant – Get agentic AI features directly in your ATS scorecard autofill. A persistent, floating chat panel remains in view as you scroll, automatically populating your scorecard using the interview recording, and allowing you to refine the generated content using voice or text commands.

šŸŽØ Custom Template Studio – Design bespoke templates for your AI-generated interview recording summaries, so every interview recap highlights your priority areas. Start from standard blueprints, preview them live against the current session, draft or polish with a conversational AI partner, edit source instructions directly, and manage org defaults and permissions.
