What happened
Toast uses BrightHire to record and transcribe interviews, giving interviewers transcripts and summaries to write scorecards and ground debriefs in evidence. It also uses the recordings to train new interviewers asynchronously instead of through shadow interviews.

Company-wide adoption more than doubled in one year. In 2025, 37% of interviews were captured on BrightHire. In 2026, that number grew to 76%, driven by the company-wide rollout and the organic enthusiasm that spread from the R&D pilot outward.
What we’re seeing is hiring managers grounding their feedback in evidence. Instead of relying on memory or impressions, they’re able to reference what was actually said in the interview. That’s what great interviewing looks like.
