About
BrightHire is a New York City-based recruiting technology company founded in 2019 by Ben Sesser and Teddy Chestnut. It pioneered the 'interview intelligence' category, providing an AI platform that records, transcribes and analyzes candidate interviews to run more structured, equitable and effective hiring, used by Canva, Duolingo, Instacart and SoFi. It raised ~$36M; Zoom, an early investor, acquired BrightHire in November 2025 as a standalone brand within Zoom Workplace.
