"A Game-Changer for Interview Quality and Efficiency"
What do you like best about BrightHire?

BrightHire has been very valuable for our team, particularly because of its AI intelligence. It helps us stay focused on the conversation instead of manual note-taking, which improves both interviewer focus and candidate experience. It also reduces manual work through automated notes and summaries, saving time and improving consistency in feedback. The ATS integrations make it easy to embed into our existing workflows, and its flexibility for customization allows us to tailor the platform to our specific needs and hiring processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightHire?

I see clear opportunities for improvement in metrics and reporting, especially around how the Interviewer Quality Score is defined. More clarity on the criteria behind the overall score would make the insights more meaningful and actionable. Greater flexibility to tailor metrics and reporting to specific team needs would also be a strong improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Game-Changer for Equitable and Efficient Interviews"
What do you like best about BrightHire?

I use BrightHire for interview recording and love how it has become an integral part of our Talent Acquisition ecosystem. It allows interviewers to focus on meaningful conversations with candidates while still capturing structured feedback. BrightHire reduces the burden of manual note-taking, keeps interviews structured and consistent through standardized attributes, scorecards, and AI-supported notes, and improves fairness by grounding hiring decisions in documented insights rather than memory or personal bias. It also makes sharing feedback easier and faster, improves candidate experience, and helps us run more efficient, equitable, and high-quality interviews, saving a lot of time for interviewers, recruiters, and TA Ops. I appreciate how easy the initial setup was, and the integration with our ATS and workflows was smooth. We also integrate it with Greenhouse, and it's our first interview recording tool, which we're loving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightHire?

Calling and messaging capability should be enabled globally, as it is currently limited to the US. Expanding this feature across regions, especially in India, where calling and texting is the preferred communication method, would be extremely helpful to improve the candidate experience.

"Making Interviewing Easier Than Ever!"
What do you like best about BrightHire?

I also love that BrightHire integrates directly with Greenhouse and zoom. Being able to take notes and easily import them into the scorecard allows me to better focus on the conversation with candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightHire?

I would love for BrightHire to incorporate some AI grading type notes. It does amazing at recording and transcribing, and I'd like to see them go a step further in analyzing how the candidate performed in the interview! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Interviews but Needs Reliability Improvements"
What do you like best about BrightHire?

I like how good the notes and transcripts are. The screen tool specifically is very well developed and works well. BrightHire saves us time and increases interview volume and speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightHire?

I am currently at a place where the BrightHire Chrome extension is unreliable and I am constantly overseeing the product, and the screen product is not providing the candidate experience that we are used to. Dual pronged - both of the core products we use aren't at the bar that we expect. I have had to solve the issues with the chrome extension on my own, essentially creating a workflow that bypasses it entirely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Screening with Room for Improvement"
What do you like best about BrightHire?

I find that BrightHire allows us to interview some 'bubble' candidates that we might not have had time to otherwise, and it occasionally rules candidates out before they schedule a recruiter screen. The tool itself is very seamless and easy to use. Our candidates are also having a positive experience with it. BrightHire integrates with our ATS, Ashby, which is convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightHire?

I would love some additional functionality like a public booking link. The initial setup was quite seamless, I'd rate it a 3.5 out of 10 on the ease scale, where 1 is easy and 10 is difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AI-Powered Interview Recording with Room for Customization"
What do you like best about BrightHire?

I really like the AI feature of BrightHire because it saves me a ton of time and allows me to focus on the conversation rather than being distracted by making notes during interviews. The star and flag features are also great as they allow me to mark strong moments or potential concerns about a candidate during interviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightHire?

I recently learned about their Advanced Custom Templates for AI Notes which is very interesting. In terms of improvement areas, I cannot think of anything else, it's all good :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy-to-Use with Helpful AI Notes"
What do you like best about BrightHire?

- I like that it integrates well with Greenhouse.

- Prior to Brighthire, I had some interviewers who would hardly provide any notes. Brighthire gives us more detailed notes and the ability to go back and review the recording in the event that we need more clarity.

- The interface is easy to use and pretty intuitive.

- The AI generated notes are useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BrightHire?

The reporting/analytics isn't always the most intuitive and helpful to use. Sometimes the recording didn't actually save and there's no way of knowing that until the interview has already concluded. And I didn't take notes because I assumed Brighthire was recording. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
