BrightHire, Inc.
On December 1, 2025, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of BrightHire, Inc., a private company providing AI-powered interview intelligence and hiring automation, for all-cash purchase consideration of $98.0 million. The acquisition expands Zoom Workplaces’s capabilities in recruiting and candidate engagement. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination.
In allocating the purchase consideration for the acquisition, the following table summarizes the amounts attributed to goodwill, identifiable intangible assets, and other net assets acquired:
(in thousands)
Goodwill
$73,657 
Identifiable intangible assets
19,900 
Other net assets acquired
4,397 
Total purchase consideration
$97,955 
The goodwill amount represents synergies related to our existing products expected to be realized from the acquisition and assembled workforce. The associated goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The allocation of the purchase price is based upon a preliminary valuation, and as additional information becomes available, our estimates and assumptions may be subject to refinement within the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. Uncertain tax positions are initially established in connection with the acquisition as of the acquisition date. We continue to collect information and reevaluate these estimates and assumptions quarterly. We will record any adjustments to our preliminary estimates to goodwill, provided that it is within the one-year measurement period.
The following table sets forth the components of identifiable intangible assets acquired and their estimated useful lives as of the date of acquisition:
Fair Value
Useful Life
(in thousands)
(years)
Developed technology9,000 5.0
Customer relationships
9,800 5.0
Trade names
1,100 3.0
Identifiable intangible assets
$19,900 
Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their respective estimated useful lives. Amortization of developed technology is recorded within cost of revenue, and amortization of customer relationships and trade names is recorded within sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition were immaterial. The results of operations of BrightHire, Inc., which are not material, have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition. Pro forma results of operations reflecting the acquisition of BrightHire, Inc. have not been presented, as the results do not have a material effect on any of the periods presented in our consolidated statements of operations.
Other Acquisitions
During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, we also completed other acquisitions that were immaterial and included the results in our consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisitions.
