Bright

Bright was started in February 2011. For 18 months we conducted what we believe to be the largest resume to job description study in history. The study included over 2.8 million resumes, 8.6 million job seekers, hundreds of recruiters and HR professionals, and a team of 15 data scientists and engineers. The data fro m this research endeavor was used to build the Bright Score, which launched on June 19, 2012.

The Bright Score is able to look at hundreds of features on a resume in an instant, allowing us to analyze and score a holistic view of a candidate in the time it would take a human evaluator to absorb at most a couple of words. So we can immediately identify the candidates who are fit to move forward at a comprehensive level that could only be matched if a recruiter spent an hour on every single resume.
