Top of funnel hiring needs a new system

Recruiters are buried in applications, and ATS filters and bolted-on AI still leave the real review to them. Strong candidates get missed, spam and fraud slip through, and the shortlist comes down to who applied first.

BrightHire Inbound and BrightHire Screen work together, with workflows that automate AI application review and screening interviews end to end. You get a fuller picture of every applicant, synced with your ATS, so your best candidates rise to the top and move forward faster.

FAQs

Start by defining clear criteria for the role with your hiring manager, then use AI to review every application against them and rank applicants by fit, with spam and fraud flagged along the way. Send the strongest to an AI screening interview they can take on their own time, so your recruiters only speak with qualified candidates, even in high-volume hiring. BrightHire Inbound and BrightHire Screen handle both steps.

AI application review lets you evaluate every application against your hiring criteria in minutes, instead of recruiters reading resumes one by one. BrightHire Inbound turns your job description into a rubric your team approves, looks past keywords to real qualifications, and ranks applicants by fit, with the evidence behind each recommendation.

An AI screening interview is an early-round interview run by an AI interviewer instead of a recruiter. With BrightHire Screen, candidates have a natural, two-way voice or video conversation at any time, on any device. Every candidate gets the same questions and is scored against your rubric, with cited evidence your team can review.

Look for fraud signals across the entire hiring process, not just on the resume. At the application stage, check phone and email reputation for spam and suspicious applicants. In interviews, watch for deepfakes, proxy interviews, and AI-assisted answers, along with device and location risks like VPNs or a location that doesn’t match the candidate’s. BrightHire’s Candidate Fraud Detection flags likely fraud from the first application through AI and live interviews, with the evidence behind each flag.

No. With BrightHire, AI reviews applications and runs screening interviews, but recruiters decide who moves forward. Your team approves every rubric, every recommendation shows the evidence behind it, and BrightHire keeps a record of the reasoning behind each evaluation. Inbound is also independently audited for bias by Warden AI. Learn more about our approach to AI in hiring and our security and compliance practices.
