From screen to hiring-manager recap in four steps
No bot waiting in the Zoom lobby, and no extension on your work laptop.
Open meetingsidekick.ai
Open a second browser tab on your laptop for video calls, or open it on your phone for onsite panel debriefs and career-fair chats.
Get consent and press Start
Let the candidate or hiring manager know you are capturing notes, then share the call tab audio or use your mic.
Pull exact quotes in chat
Ask the meeting chat for salary expectations, project scope, availability, or exact examples instead of skimming raw notes.
Share the summary link
Send a summary-only link to your hiring manager or client while keeping the raw transcript and chat private in your workspace.
Four conversations recruiters use it for
Fast notes when you talk to twenty people a week across three ATS tabs.
Candidate screens
Keep eye contact on video calls without typing furiously. On Pro, speaker labels and saved audio let you double-check key dates or numbers.
Hiring-manager intakes
Capture every must-have requirement, leveling nuance, and interview rubric detail, then turn it into a clean decision and action-item summary.
Onsite debriefs
Set a phone on the conference table during calibration debriefs so nobody argues over who said what after the panel wraps.
Search across candidates
On Pro and Max, search across all your recorded transcripts to recall which candidate worked on a specific stack or market.
What to know before your next screen
Desktop call capture needs Chrome, Chromium, or Edge. Phones and tablets work in any modern browser for in-person interviews or speakerphone calls. There is no desktop app or extension to install.
Tell candidates before you record. Many states and company policies require explicit candidate consent before recording an interview. Always disclose clearly and respect opt-outs.
Privacy and retention stay in your hands. Audio and transcripts are never sold or used to train AI models, and you can delete any candidate session and its audio permanently. Pro ($15/mo or $120/yr) adds speaker labels, cross-meeting search, and audio replay.
Recruiter meeting notes, answered
Why avoid a recording bot on candidate screens?
When a third-party notetaker bot sits in the participant list, candidates often rush or self-censor their answers. MeetingSidekick captures your browser tab audio locally with nothing joining the call, while you still ask the candidate directly for permission.
Does it work on a company-managed recruiting laptop?
Yes. There is no desktop app or browser extension to install, and no IT admin rights are required. Desktop call capture works in Chrome, Chromium, and Edge; phones and tablets work in any modern browser.
Can I pull exact candidate answers for a hiring scorecard?
Yes. Ask the meeting chatbot questions like "What compensation range and notice period did the candidate mention?" or "Summarize their experience leading migrations." On Pro and Max, you also get speaker labels and audio replay.
Can I share a summary with a hiring manager without sending the whole transcript?
Yes. You can create a private recap link that shares only the title, date, duration, TL;DR, key points, decisions, and action items. The raw transcript and chat stay private, and the link can be turned off anytime.
How does pricing work for agency or solo recruiters?
Free gives 2 hours of recording one time for the life of the account with no credit card. Pro is $15/month (or $120/year) for 30 hours, speaker labels, cross-meeting search, and audio replay. A $9 one-time 5-hour pack is also available and never expires.
