Brght vs HackerRank

Brght is a web-based pre-employment assessment that evaluates applicants’ numerical, spatial, and abstract reasoning in a 30-minute test.

Starter and Pro provide online result evaluation and PDF reports. Pro also allows custom essay, multiple-choice, and file-upload questions, and includes ATS integration and a Dedicated Customer Success Advisor. Brght says the test can be used for candidate selection for any job; registration is for companies and organizations. The Free plan includes one test for 10 candidates. Starter costs €99 a month with a one-year commitment and an upfront payment of €1.188; it includes five tests and 25 candidates per month.

The service has a free plan and is listed as freemium, with paid plans from €99/mo (annual).
