Bright Gets $6M for Formula for Matching Job Seekers to Job Openings

Bright has spent the past 18 months trying to create a formula that mimics and improves on the human-intensive process of sifting through resumes to find qualified candidates for a certain job. Today, the company — backed with $6 million in founder and angel funding — is making its Bright Scores available publicly for job seekers and employers. It will try to get distribution deals through existing applicant tracking software providers.
