BrightHire Integration

Last updated: January 7, 2026

candidate.fyi integrates with BrightHire in a simple and seamless way - so your team can automatically include BrightHire in interviews without changing your scheduling workflow.

Once enabled, candidate.fyi will add BrightHire’s recording participant to interview calendar events, ensuring BrightHire is automatically present for eligible interviews.

What this integration does

When the BrightHire integration is turned on:

  • candidate.fyi will automatically include BrightHire’s recorder email on interview calendar invites

  • BrightHire will be added to all scheduled interviews created through candidate.fyi

  • You can optionally notify candidates directly in the calendar invite (with a BrightHire opt-out link)

This keeps things clean and automatic - no manual invite forwarding, no extra steps for coordinators.

How to enable BrightHire

Enabling BrightHire only takes a few seconds:

  1. Go to your Integrations tab in candidate.fyi

  2. Find BrightHire

  3. Toggle it On

That’s it - there’s no additional setup required.

How it works behind the scenes

Once enabled, candidate.fyi adds BrightHire’s recorder email to every calendar event created through the platform:

BrightHire Recorder Email: recorder@brighthire.ai

This means BrightHire will automatically join the interview session and handle recording and note-taking according to your BrightHire configuration.

Optional: Notify candidates automatically (recommended)

You can also enable an optional Candidate Calendar Message, which will be added to all interview invites sent to candidates.

This message informs candidates that BrightHire will be included on the call and includes a BrightHire link where they can opt out if they choose.

This is useful for:

  • Transparency and trust with candidates

  • Supporting BrightHire’s opt-out workflow

  • Ensuring consistency across all interviews
