Bright Apply vs Hireable

Bright Apply is a conversational AI screening tool for talent-acquisition teams hiring at volume. It conducts structured, role-relevant conversations and can ask follow-up questions when candidate answers are vague. Employers can receive interview transcripts, eligibility outcomes, reasoned scores, an indicator of possible AI use, and briefings for next-stage interviews. Interview questions and length can be configured around the role and employer’s criteria. Candidates can respond by voice; a text interview is available as a reasonable adjustment, and 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. The product flags possible AI use and advises careful review of high scores instead of using a score alone to reject candidates. Bright Apply says people remain accountable for hiring decisions and candidates are not automatically rejected or progressed based on scores. It lists ISO 27001, ISO 42001, and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications. Pricing is on request, with a volume plan starting at 3,000 interviews annually and one-, two-, or three-year terms.

Hireable combines asynchronous candidate assessments, a virtual recruiter and live AI interviews in one platform. Its recruiter products include Hireable Assess, Maya, Riley and a multi-agent panel. Assess supports AI-generated questions, SQL, Python and PySpark code execution, voice and video responses, evidence-cited scoring and integrity signals. Riley conducts adaptive interviews with follow-up questions and produces rubric-based recaps citing evidence. The panel supports up to five personas with separate voices and rubrics, then produces a consolidated recap with disagreement flags. Candidate tools include mock interviews, résumé and cover-letter tools, LinkedIn optimization, certifications and browser coding sandboxes. Maya handles intake and scheduling over Gmail and SMS; Slack notifications and webhooks are also supported. Scorecards write back to Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby; Bullhorn, JobDiva and Avionté integrations are shipped per customer. Recruiter recordings, transcripts and related data are retained by default for 90 days, configurable per tenant. The free candidate tier includes three mock interviews per month. Recruiter plans start at $199 a month for Starter, which includes 50 completed assessments per month.
