Common questions about choosing between platforms
The core difference is what the AI does. Edesy's AI conducts interviews - it calls candidates, asks questions, evaluates responses, and ranks applicants. BrightHire's AI records, transcribes, and summarizes interviews that humans conduct. Edesy replaces first-round screens; BrightHire enhances final-round interviews.
Yes, they solve different problems. Many companies use Edesy for high-volume first-round AI screening, then BrightHire for recording and note-taking during final-round interviews with hiring managers. They complement each other.
Edesy saves more time for screening (70-80% reduction) because it automates entire first-round interviews. BrightHire saves time on note-taking (20-30%) but still requires recruiters to conduct interviews. The right choice depends on your bottleneck.
Yes. Edesy can screen 500+ candidates per day with AI - limited only by candidate availability. BrightHire is limited by how many interviews your recruiters can conduct. For roles with hundreds of applicants, Edesy scales better.
BrightHire focuses on live interview recording and intelligence, not async candidate-recorded videos. If you need candidates to record responses on their own time, Edesy's async video feature is the better fit.
For final-round interviews, BrightHire's recording and coaching features help improve interviewer skills and consistency. For first-round screens, Edesy's AI provides consistent, unbiased evaluation at scale. Both improve quality, at different stages.
BrightHire typically charges per seat (interviewer). Edesy charges based on interview volume. For companies with many interviewers doing few interviews each, Edesy may be more cost-effective. For small teams with many interviews, compare total costs.
