BrightHire

🎯 Should you use BrightHire?

Buy if: You run 15+ interviews per week and need recorded proof when stakeholders question hiring decisions six months later.

Skip if: You hire fewer than 10 people per year or your ATS already has interview kits you actually use.

⚡ In practice

• ●Setup: 30 minutes to connect calendar and customize scorecards
• ●Recording interviews: Works, transcripts arrive in 10 minutes
• ●Scorecard enforcement: Forces interviewers to score before leaving the call

⚠️ Where it breaks

• ●Pricing is unpublished, and sales will ask about team size before quoting you.
• ●Candidates sometimes freeze up when they see the recording notification, especially for junior roles.

💸 Is it worth the money?

No public pricing means you negotiate blind, and competitors like Metaview publish theirs. If your interviewers already skip scorecards, adding BrightHire won't fix the discipline problem.

🆚 If not this

• ●Metaview -> Cheaper published pricing, same core workflow
• ●Greenhouse -> Already has interview kits if you use their ATS
• ●Ashby -> Built-in scorecards and analytics without another login

🎯 Final verdict

Good if you need recorded interviews for compliance or panel debriefs, but only makes sense at 50+ hires per year.
