Interview Signal

About

Interview Signal is a desktop app for the person running a job interview: agency recruiters, in-house recruiters and hiring managers. It captures the call on the interviewer's own computer, so no bot joins, and it works the same on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and phone screens.

During the call it shows a live transcript and a question guide built from the job description, ticks off must-ask questions as they are covered, and suggests follow-ups. When the call ends it writes a scorecard in which every score carries a quote checked against the transcript, and a client submittal in the agency's own template.

Transcripts and notes stay on the recruiter's computer. Windows and macOS. Free for 20 minutes, then hour packs from $9 or $49 a month.

Use Cases

  • Running a live interview with a candidate while the question guide and follow-up suggestions stay on screen, without a bot joining the call
  • Producing a scored candidate scorecard with quotes from the candidate's own answers and a client submittal before the call ends
  • Interviewing candidates on phone screens, which meeting-bot tools cannot record, and exporting notes to Bullhorn, Greenhouse, Lever or JobAdder

Who it is for

  • Recruiting agencies writing scorecards and client submittals for candidates
  • Recruiters and hiring managers running candidate interviews on Zoom, Teams, Meet or phone screens
  • Engineering leads who want every interviewer to ask the same questions and score the same way

Pricing

FAQ

Does the candidate see anything?

No. Nothing joins the meeting and no participant appears. Interview Signal is a window on the recruiter's own computer, which is why we also ask recruiters to read the notice at the start — see the consent guide.

Does it work on phone screens?

Yes, and that is one of the main reasons it exists. It captures your computer's own audio, so a softphone, a dial-in or a mobile on speaker all work. Meeting-bot tools cannot record a phone call at all.

Where do the recordings go?

There is no recording to store. Audio is transcribed as the interview runs and the transcript is written to the recruiter's own computer. It is never uploaded. The security page lists exactly what reaches us, field by field.

Does it push into our ATS?

Not yet. Today you get copy-ready notes shaped for Bullhorn, Greenhouse, Lever and JobAdder, plus a CSV row and a Word document. Native ATS push is on the roadmap and we are not going to put a date on it.

What if it does not save us time?

Run twenty interviews in the first thirty days. If your recruiters are not saving at least thirty minutes per candidate on notes and submittals, refund the month and cancel from inside your account. One button.

How long does setup take?

Install, sign in, paste a job description. The first kit takes about thirty seconds to generate and a few minutes to edit into something you are happy with.

What counts as a seat?

One recruiter who runs interviews. Seats are named to an email address, not shared. An admin can move a seat to a different person by removing one and inviting another.

How do hour packs work?

You buy 1, 5 or 15 hours once, for $9, $29 or $69. They are added to whatever you have left, including the twenty free minutes every account starts with, and they never expire. Time is counted by the minute, and only while live transcription is running, so preparing a role or reading a scorecard afterwards uses none of it. Your account page shows what is left.

Pay as you go or Solo?

Pay as you go suits someone who interviews now and then. Solo suits someone who interviews most weeks: at about eleven hours of interviews a month or more, $49 a month costs less than even the 15-hour pack at $4.60 an hour, and nothing is counted. Hours you have bought stay on the account: if a Solo subscription ends later, you are back on pay as you go with whatever was left.

Should I be on Solo or Team?

Solo is for one person running their own interviews: the live guide, follow-ups, scorecards and submittals, with roles and templates that are yours. Team adds what only makes sense across several people: a shared question library, admins, invitations, panels and a coaching report that compares recruiters. That is also why Team starts at three seats. Moving from Free, pay as you go or Solo to Team happens inside your account, and your roles and interviews stay where they are.

Interesting concept — live transcript plus a question guide during the call, with scorecards that quote the candidate, sounds like it could make interviews much more structured. No bot joining the call is a nice privacy touch.
