Bright Apply is a conversational AI screening tool for talent acquisition teams hiring at volume. It conducts structured, role-relevant candidate interviews and can follow up when an answer is vague. Employers can receive transcripts, eligibility outcomes, reasoned scores, an AI-use indicator and briefings for the next interview stage. Interview questions and length can be tailored to the role and employer’s criteria. Candidates can respond by voice, or use a text interview as a reasonable adjustment; additional time can be allowed for video questions. Bright Apply says it supports more than 250 applicant tracking system integrations, with its team handling technical setup. It flags possible AI use and recommends that employers review high scores carefully rather than reject candidates based on the score alone. The company says scoring is tested for bias, does not access personal identifying information and is separate from interviewing. It also says people remain accountable for decisions, with no automatic rejection or progression based on scores. The maker lists ISO 27001, ISO 42001 and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications. Pricing is on request, based on interview volume; the listed plan starts at 3,000 interviews annually.
