What stays the same: BrightHire will continue to operate as a standalone brand within Zoom
Our team, product, and mission remain unchanged — only now, we’ll innovate even faster and scale at the pace of our ambition. ⚡
In short, this combination changes the game for how we can serve the TA community we know and love.
A shared vision for the future of hiring
Every great hire starts with collaboration and conversation — and millions of those already happen on Zoom, making it an essential platform for hiring teams today.
Together, BrightHire and Zoom are combining the best in hiring, communication, and workplace AI to transform how the world hires. This partnership will:
- Accelerate our product roadmap with access to Zoom’s world-class technology and AI expertise.
- Deepen integrations, especially with Zoom, to expand our offerings across mission-critical hiring and recruiting workflows.
- Expand our reach and impact to more teams, roles, and candidates than ever before.
What this means for customers
Your BrightHire experience stays the same — all data, integrations, and workflows remain intact. You’ll soon see:
- New capabilities powered by Zoom’s AI and communication technology.
- Continued innovation in interview intelligence and hiring insights.
- Even greater reliability, scalability, and security within Zoom’s infrastructure.
Whether you’re running structured interviews, using AI-powered notes, or screening candidates with BrightHire Screen, everything you love about BrightHire will keep working — only better and faster.
What this means for our team and community
From day one, we set out to change how hiring happens — replacing gut instinct with insight and bias with fairness. Today, we power millions of interviews across leading companies like Canva, Duolingo, and HubSpot.
Joining Zoom lets us scale that impact globally. Zoom’s history of empowering innovative teams (like Workvivo) gives us confidence that BrightHire will continue to thrive independently while growing faster than ever.
Importantly, like BrightHire, Zoom is grounded in a responsible approach to AI. We share a core value of putting candidates first — and that principle will continue to shape how and what we build.
Looking ahead
Our mission and values remain unchanged — putting candidates first, acting with generosity, and operating with integrity — but our ability to achieve them has multiplied.
Together with Zoom, we’re building a future where every company hires smarter — and every person gets the hiring experience they deserve.
To our customers, partners, and team: thank you for believing in us.
