Our take
BrightHire is an enterprise SaaS platform offering employers a Zoom-integrated hiring tool designed to assist interviewers in creating more equitable hiring practices. Its tech software records, transcribes and helps standardize interviews, along with offering broader procedural analytics tools.
The bias-reduction benefits remain to be proven and are not unique to BrightHire. However, with companies increasingly focused on publicly tackling hiring bias, it has come at the right moment. HR tech is seeing a significant uptake of SaaS products, meaning its product and the field in general are likely to see good growth.
Series B funding secured in 2021 has been channeled into workforce expansion and developing the platform using big data insights. How competitive BrightHire remain will depend on how well they fare in a rapidly innovating sector.
