AI interview assistant that joins your human interviewers
BrightHire is an interview intelligence platform that records, transcribes, and provides AI-powered coaching during human-led interviews. It acts as a copilot — helping human interviewers ask better questions — but does not replace the recruiter or conduct interviews autonomously.
