aperture vs brighthire.
Brighthire sits on top of human interviews, recording calls and surfacing coaching signals for interviewers. aperture sits upstream: it runs the first-round interview itself, evaluates the candidate, and hands you a ranked shortlist. Brighthire makes your human interviews better. aperture removes the need for most of them.
Pick brighthire if
- you've accepted that your team will keep running every first-round screen by hand, and you just want a recording of it.
- coaching interviewers feels easier than admitting most of those interviews didn't need a human.
Pick aperture if
- your bottleneck is volume, not interviewer quality.
- you want an ai that conducts the interview, not one that just listens to it.
- you want a ranked shortlist, not more notes to read.
- you want to cut out low-signal first-round screens entirely.
