FOR CANDIDATES

More access, greater fairness

On average, only 1 in 10 applicants gets a recruiter screen, according to a BrightHire study of 17,000 positions.

An AI interviewer gives more applicants a fair shot through structured interviews that go beyond the resume.

  • More candidates get a real opportunity with a consistent, unbiased interview
  • Two-way conversations flow naturally and let candidates explain skills, not just list them
  • Async interviews can be taken anytime, so candidates can perform at their best

“It felt like a real interview—so much better than just uploading a resume or answering multiple choice questions.”

FAQs


BrightHire Screen is an AI interviewer that conducts structured, two-way automated screening interviews to improve the first step of the hiring process.

Recruiters set up the screening agent for an AI interview by providing job descriptions, interview scoring rubrics, and intake materials. The AI agent generates custom questions and follow-ups to help craft effective screens. Candidates are automatically invited from your ATS and can complete the interview anytime, from any device, using voice-based AI technology. Each interview is transcribed, summarized, and scored using your defined rubric — giving recruiters fast, structured insight into every candidate.

It’s a better experience for everyone: candidates get a consistent, fair shot beyond just their resume, and recruiters gain stronger signals – based on candidate self-reported information – at scale to make faster, more confident decisions.


BrightHire Screen does not replace recruiters, but acts as an extension of your recruiting team, adding recruiter capacity by helping you evaluate more candidates without adding manual work.

It replaces traditional screening interviews, especially phone screens, with a structured, consistent, AI-led experience defined by your company that candidates can complete asynchronously—from any device, whether it’s a phone, laptop, or desktop. Interviews can be voice-only or video, depending on the role and configuration.

This helps teams eliminate scheduling delays, while giving every candidate a fair, consistent opportunity to share more than just what’s on their resume.


Absolutely! BrightHire Screen is a customizable AI interviewer that lets you configure and control interview questions, scoring rubrics, tone, and candidate messaging to fit your unique business needs. In fact, you have to approve the interview questions before they are asked!

You can instantly generate a screening agent based on your job description or other planning docs, then configure it to reflect your hiring goals. Teams using BrightHire’s interview intelligence platform benefit from even more context — linking live interviews and automated interviews together to improve evaluation across every role for more consistent decision-making across the entire hiring process.


Yes. BrightHire Screen helps teams run fair, compliant AI interviews that meet enterprise standards like SOC 2, GDPR, and emerging AI hiring regulations for compliance. Every candidate gets the same structured interview, scored with criteria defined by your team.

We provide built-in safeguards: from bias testing, data privacy controls, candidate consent, and role-based access controls to privacy-safe AI that is never trained using your data. Our system has undergone an independent AI bias audit, and we’re committed to transparency and human oversight at every step

Recruiters receive structured, easy-to-review outputs after each automated interview — including a candidate ranking, AI interview scoring, summaries, transcripts, and audio playback, all based on the interview rubrics you’ve defined.

You can dig deeper into each AI interview as needed: viewing transcripts and audio recordings, or by filtering or sorting responses. All of this is available within BrightHire or directly inside your ATS, helping you work efficiently in your hiring workflow.


BrightHire offers flexible AI interview pricing based on your automated interview volume, roles, and business needs, with no additional setup fees required.
