Zoom is a communications platform covering meetings, phone, chat, and calendar. BrightHire, a Zoom company, turns the interviews you run there into structured notes and evidence in your ATS, and because it’s built into the platform, adds proprietary identity, device, and deepfake signals available only to Zoom customers.
As imposters and AI-assisted answers get harder to spot, BrightHire surfaces integrity signals across screening and live interviews. On Zoom, that adds proprietary identity, device, and deepfake signals available only to Zoom customers, each backed by reviewable evidence so your team can investigate and decide.
The BrightHire Zoom App opens a side panel only the interviewer sees, with their guide, structured questions, and a notepad. From the candidate’s side, it’s a normal Zoom interview.
BrightHire syncs to your recruiting calendar and joins interviews on its own. Interviewers flag key moments as they go, and AI notes and a time-stamped transcript are ready right after the call.
Notes map to your ATS scorecard for one-click completion, flowing into Greenhouse, Workday, Lever, and Ashby with no copying between tools.
My Notes captures what was said in a meeting. BrightHire captures what a candidate said about the things you’re assessing them on. That shows up in the output: notes organized by candidate, role, and interview stage, structured around the guide your team wrote, and mapped to your ATS scorecard. Hiring also carries requirements a meeting doesn’t, including candidate consent, retention and deletion policies, and redaction of sensitive topics. Plenty of teams run both, using My Notes for day-to-day meetings and BrightHire for interviews.
No. BrightHire works with any Zoom account, free plans included. BrightHire is its own subscription, licensed separately from Zoom, so what you pay Zoom doesn’t change.
Yes. The BrightHire Chrome extension puts the same guide and notepad in a browser overlay rather than the Zoom side panel, and gives recruiters a way to review interviews from inside their ATS. Most interviewers use the Zoom app, but either works, and teams often mix the two.
No. Interviews captured by BrightHire are routed to BrightHire’s cloud, where transcription and AI notes happen, and they follow the retention settings you configure in BrightHire. Your existing Zoom cloud recording setup is unaffected, and interviews aren’t saved to anyone’s local machine.
