FAQs
Does BrightHire respect Ashby user permissions?
Yes, BrightHire supports role-based access controls synced from Ashby, so BrightHire can automatically assign visibility to Hiring Managers, Recruiters, and other roles. Reach out to your BrightHire Customer Success Manager (CSM) to get this enabled for your BrightHire account.
My synced notes from BrightHire aren't coming over properly when filling feedback forms with the one-click option. What's going on?
BrightHire can't write back to Yes/No, multiple-choice, or other structured Ashby fields. It will fall back to writing notes to the first eligible long-text field on the feedback form.
To give the notes a dedicated place to flow back into Ashby, we recommend adding a long-text field such as "BrightHire Notes" or "Interview Notes" at the start of your feedback forms.
