Superscribe for recruiters
Superscribe for recruiters who run calls all day and write up at night
You finish a screening call, and the next one starts before the notes exist. Superscribe Phone records the call on your own number, so the recap starts from what the candidate actually said, not from what you still remember at seven.
Superscribe
Stop rebuilding calls from memory
Use Superscribe to capture the words, context, next steps, and time while the work is still happening.
A screening call ends at 10:58. The next one starts at 11:00. In those two minutes you are meant to log the notice period, hold on to the salary number the candidate gave you as a range and then narrowed, and keep the detail the hiring manager will ask about tomorrow. You log none of it. You run four more calls, and at seven in the evening you rebuild five conversations from a page of half sentences.
Superscribe for recruiters is built for exactly that gap. It is a free iPhone app that sits on your own number. You answer calls the way you always have, no bot joins anything, and afterwards the call is already transcribed with a title, a summary and a short list of suggested actions. The recap stops being a separate job you owe yourself at the end of the day.
The write-up is always the thing that waits
Nobody schedules the admin. Recruiting days are built around the calls, because the calls are the part with another person in them. Everything downstream gets pushed into the cracks: the ATS entry, the scorecard, the note to the hiring manager, the thanks for your time message with the next step in it. Then a candidate goes quiet for four days and you cannot remember whether you promised feedback by Thursday or a call with the CTO.
The cost is not the lost minutes. It is that the record gets worse the longer it waits. Reconstructed an hour later, a strong forty minute conversation becomes three bland lines. Good communicator, solid Python, open to hybrid. The hiring manager reads that and learns nothing, so they ask you to talk it through in a meeting, which is another call, which needs another write-up.
Try it on the real workflow
Turn your next screening call into notes you do not have to rebuild
Take one real candidate call on your own number. It comes back as a transcript, a summary and the follow-up actions, so you write the scorecard off the call itself.
What Superscribe for recruiters does across a call day
The app records the call and transcribes it. Many languages are supported and the language is detected automatically, which matters if you screen in English before lunch and in German after it. You get a title, a summary and suggested actions.
The actions are the part recruiters tend to like. Call someone back. Add the agreed interview slot to the calendar. Create a reminder for the feedback you promised. Save the unknown number that just rang you, so the hiring manager calling from a mobile is not a mystery entry. Dictate the list of things you owe three candidates and it becomes a Reminders checklist.
Each one is a single tap. Nothing fires on its own. Time sensitive actions appear on the lock screen with buttons, so the callback you agreed to at 11:00 is one tap while you walk to the next room, not a note you leave yourself and lose.
The shift is that the detail survives. Build the handover from the transcript and the hiring manager gets what the candidate said about scope, team size and why they are leaving, not your compressed impression of it four hours later.
Why I built the call side first
I am Siim. Superscribe started because I kept watching people do their best work out loud and then pay for it twice, once in the conversation and once in the reconstruction afterwards. A recruiter running eight screening calls back to back pays that tax eight times a day.
Video meeting tools already had this covered, more or less. Phone calls did not, and the roles where the phone still carries the work were the ones being asked to keep the most in their heads. That is why the phone came first, and why it uses your own number. Candidates should not have to install anything or click a link to talk to a recruiter. The call is a call.
Fix the brief, not just the notes
Let the intake quote the hiring manager instead of paraphrasing them
Put the phone on the table for your next intake meeting. The minutes come back with the decisions and follow-ups in the manager's own words, which is what your shortlist has to match.
Intake meetings and debriefs in the room
Screening is only half of it. The other half happens with the hiring manager, often in a room, sometimes with two people dialling in.
Tap Start meeting, put the phone on the table, and the room is recorded with a visible recording state so nobody is guessing. Remote participants can be dialled in by phone onto the same transcript. Speakers are separated and named when they introduce themselves, which is what makes a panel debrief readable a week later. When the meeting ends, the minutes are ready: summary, decisions, follow-ups.
For an intake that is the difference between a role brief you assembled afterwards and one that quotes the manager on what they will not compromise on.
Where candidate notes land after the call
Calls and meetings are filed to the right project automatically, so the conversations for one search stay together instead of scattering across a day.
Now the honest part. There is no direct ATS integration yet. Superscribe does not write into Greenhouse, Lever, Workable or Bullhorn today. Calls are pushed to Pipedrive as an activity, and everything else goes out through the API and MCP, which is how teams get summaries into whatever their desk actually runs on. That is a real gap if your process lives inside the ATS, and better to know now than three weeks in.
If you run a desk rather than a solo book, Business Voice adds seats and pooled minutes for a team. The solo app is free to start, which is the honest way to find out whether this fits a recruiting day.
Questions recruiters ask
Do I have to tell candidates I am recording?
Say it at the top of the call. That is the short answer and the one that keeps you out of trouble, because consent rules differ by country and by state. The app does not announce anything for you. What it does is keep the recording on your side. It is your number and your phone, meetings show a visible recording state in the room, and nothing reaches the candidate unless you tap it yourself. Candidates rarely mind being asked at the start. They mind finding out later.
Does the candidate need to install anything?
No. You keep your own number and answer as usual. There is no meeting bot, no link to send and no new phone system. From the candidate’s side it is a phone call from a recruiter, which is what it should be.
What happens on calls that are not in English?
Transcription covers many languages and detects the language automatically, so a screening call in one language and a client call in another both come back as usable notes.
