Brght

Overview

Brght is a web-based pre-employment assessment that measures numerical, spatial and abstract reasoning in a 30-minute test. It suits employers selecting candidates across different kinds of roles, especially those who want to compare applicants against a job-specific benchmark. Its adaptive test and detailed reports give hiring teams a structured way to assess reasoning, but the candidate caps and annual upfront commitments deserve close attention.

Key features

Adaptive reasoning assessment

Questions become harder or easier in response to a candidate’s previous answers. The test covers numerical, spatial and abstract reasoning, with logical reasoning also named among the assessment types. At 30 minutes, it offers a focused assessment rather than a broad account of a candidate’s experience or skills.

Benchmarks and reports

Employers can compare applicants with a benchmark tailored to a selected job and its ideal candidate qualities. Starter and Pro include online evaluation of candidate results and extensive PDF reports. Together, these tools can make applicant comparisons easier to structure; the value depends on how well the chosen benchmark reflects the role.

Custom questions and ATS integration

Pro adds custom essay, multiple-choice and file-upload questions, ATS integration and a dedicated customer success advisor. Those additions make it the more flexible option for organizations that want to pair reasoning results with role-specific questions or connect assessment work to an applicant tracking system. They come at a substantial price jump from Starter.

Pricing

Brght uses a freemium model, with paid plans starting at €99/mo (annual). The free option gives employers a way to try the assessment, while paid plans add more capacity and, at Pro level, custom assessments and integration.

Starter is the lower-cost paid choice, but its five tests and 25 candidates per month set a firm ceiling. Both paid plans require a year-long commitment paid upfront, so the monthly figures do not describe a month-to-month payment. Pro removes the stated test and candidate limits and adds the custom questions and ATS integration; its price is a major step up, making it harder to justify for teams that only need reasoning assessments at modest volume.

Platforms

Brght is available on the web. That suits browser-based assessment workflows, though it does not offer a listed mobile app platform.

Who it's for

Brght is aimed at companies and organizations choosing candidates, and its test is intended for use across any job. It is a stronger fit when reasoning ability is relevant to selection and employers want a tailored benchmark alongside candidate reports. Small teams can start with the free allowance; teams with regular needs should check whether Starter’s 25-candidate monthly cap is enough. Pro is better suited to organizations that will use its custom-question formats, ATS integration or unlimited stated capacity.

Brght’s privacy policy says personal data is held on servers in the European Economic Area, with possible transfers to other jurisdictions under certain conditions. It lists GDPR rights including access, correction, erasure, restriction, portability and objection to processing. Support is available through a request form, with a support staff member responding as soon as possible.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Adaptive difficulty responds to earlier answers, giving the reasoning test a more tailored progression.
• Job-specific benchmarking helps employers compare applicants against qualities selected for the role.
• Starter and Pro include online result evaluation and extensive PDF reports, supporting both review and record keeping.
• Pro combines custom essay, multiple-choice and file-upload questions with ATS integration and unlimited stated test and candidate capacity.

Cons

• The free plan is limited to one test and 10 candidates, so it only supports a small initial use.
• Starter is capped at 25 candidates per month and five tests, which may constrain teams hiring at greater volume.
• Starter and Pro require a one-year commitment paid upfront, limiting flexibility for organizations with uncertain or seasonal hiring.
• Pro costs €499 a month on the stated annual commitment, a steep increase for teams that do not need its added features or capacity.

Verdict

Choose Brght if your organization wants a focused, adaptive reasoning test with role-specific benchmarking and reports, and its candidate allowance or Pro capacity fits your hiring volume. The main reason to look elsewhere is the cost and rigidity of the paid plans: Starter has a limited monthly quota, while both paid tiers require a year’s payment upfront. Pro makes the clearest case for teams that need custom questions and ATS integration; teams that do not need those features should weigh its price carefully.
