CandidateI'd measure first — traces to see where the time goes, then the database queries.
What you get after every interview
Three records of the same conversation, saved together with the candidate and the role.
AI interview notes
AI-written notes of the conversation, formatted and saved with the interview so anyone on the hiring team can read them.
Scores and assessment
Technical, communication, problem-solving, cultural-fit and overall scores out of 100, with strengths, weaknesses, a recommendation and next steps.
Speaker-labeled transcript
Every line of the conversation with who said it, so you can check exactly how the candidate answered.
Three ways to capture an interview
Record it live, or bring a recording or transcript you already have.
Record live
Record from your microphone for in-person and phone interviews, or capture a browser tab for video calls you join on the web — Google Meet, or Zoom and Teams in the browser. Interview questions are generated while you talk.
Upload a recording
Already recorded the call? Upload the file — WAV, MP3, MP4, AAC, OGG or WebM, up to 50 MB.
Paste a transcript
Have a transcript from another tool? Paste it in and analyze it against the interview, a candidate and job, or a resume and job.
How it works
- 01
Schedule the interview
Pick the candidate, the job and one of ten interview types, so the analysis is measured against the right role.
- 02
Record or add the conversation
Record live from your mic or a browser tab, upload a recording, or paste a transcript.
- 03
Get notes, scores and a transcript
When you stop recording, the audio is processed and the results are saved to the interview.
- 04
Make the call
Review the notes and scores, then mark the candidate selected, on hold or rejected.
No bot in the call
Many note-takers join your meeting as an extra participant. Hyre Mate records from your own browser instead — your microphone, or a tab you choose to capture — so the interview stays a two-person conversation. You should still tell candidates you're recording and get consent where the law requires it.
Typing notes vs. an AI note-taker
| Aspect | Typing notes yourself | Hyre Mate note-taker |
|---|---|---|
| Your attention | Split between listening and typing | On the candidate |
| What's captured | Whatever you managed to write down | A full transcript with speaker labels |
| Consistency | Varies from interviewer to interviewer | The same scores and structure every time |
| After the interview | Clean up notes and write a summary | Notes, scores and a recommendation to review |
How to take good interview notes
Whether you use AI or a notepad, these habits make notes worth reading in the debrief.
Write down evidence, not impressions
“Explained how they cut API latency by caching queries” is useful a week later. “Seemed sharp” is not.
Tie every note to a criterion
Decide what you're assessing before the interview — skills, problem-solving, communication — and file each observation under one of them.
Separate what happened from what you think
Record what the candidate said or did, then add your judgment on its own line. It makes debriefs fairer and easier to question.
Note the follow-ups you didn't get to
Gaps you spot mid-interview are often the best questions for the next round. Write them down before you forget.
Finish the notes right after
Memory fades quickly and candidates blur together. Write the summary before your next meeting starts.
Keep notes job-related
Leave out anything about age, family, health, religion or other personal characteristics. It isn't relevant to the role and can create legal risk.
