Recruiters live in conversations. Notes are the artifact, but presence is the job. The problem with most AI note-takers is they fix the notes problem by ruining the presence problem. A meeting bot named Fred shows up on your candidate's invite, the candidate raises an eyebrow, and the first 30 seconds of the call become a conversation about the tool rather than the role. HireScribe is built around the recruiter's actual workflow: you record on your side of the call, the laptop transcribes and summarizes locally, and you walk away with structured notes ready to drop into the ATS.
The problems recruiters actually have
Candidates notice the meeting bot and you have to explain it.
No bot. You record on your side. The candidate experience is unchanged.
Your enterprise clients have strict data policies that ban cloud transcription tools.
Audio never leaves your laptop. No DPA, no sub-processor list, no security review.
Generic meeting summaries don't fit the recruiter scorecard format.
Interview-specific templates: technical, behavioral, executive, phone screen.
You're paying $20–30/month for tooling you only use during active searches.
$79 one-time. Pay once, keep the app, predictable cost.
Manual notes during the call mean you miss signal and the candidate feels ignored.
Just talk. Read the transcript and the structured summary after.
A day in the workflow
Pre-call
Open HireScribe. Click record. Consent gate prompts you to inform the candidate and logs the timestamp.
During the call
Be present. Ask real questions. No bot, no recording indicator visible to the candidate, no app-switching.
After the call
Transcription runs locally (faster than realtime on Apple Silicon). Pick a summary template. Export to JSON/CSV/Markdown/PDF.
Into the ATS
Paste the structured summary into your scorecard. Attach the transcript if your process requires the source of record.
