What is an AI recruiting assistant?

It captures your interviews and screening calls and turns them into notes you can act on: a recap of each candidate, plus search across every conversation you've had. Nod does this on macOS without a bot in the call and without storing audio.

Does a bot join the interview?

No. Nod captures your Mac's system audio instead of dialing in, so nothing shows up in the candidate's participant list. Tell the candidate you're recording and get consent where the law asks for it.

Can I compare candidates across interviews?

Yes. Every interview lands in one searchable memory, so you can ask things like "who did we agree to move to final?" or "which candidates need visa sponsorship?" and get the answer from across the whole pipeline, not one call at a time.

An AI Recruiting Assistant, With No Bot in the Interview

Nod captures your interviews and screening calls from your Mac's own audio, writes up what the candidate actually said, and keeps every conversation searchable. So by the fifth interview of the day, you still know who asked for what. No bot joins the call, and no audio is stored.

Stay with the candidate, not your keyboard

You can't really listen to someone while typing their answers. Nod takes the notes so you don't have to split your attention: it captures the interview from your Mac's audio and hands you a clean write-up when the call ends. You ask better follow-ups, and the details are there when you sit down to write feedback.

Works on Zoom, Meet, Teams, and phone screens on speaker, with no bot
A structured recap: experience, salary expectations, notice period, next step
Every candidate saved to one memory you can search and ask
Notes come back in the language the interview was in, across 14 languages

The candidate memory fills itself as you hire

One role can mean thirty conversations: screens, panels, debriefs, and intake calls with the hiring manager. Nod keeps them in one place and lets you ask across them. "Which candidates said they need remote?" "Who did we agree to move to final?" "Who am I still owed feedback from?" The more you interview, the more it can answer, and last month's screen doesn't vanish when this week's pipeline fills up.

Built for one recruiter, not a rollout

Nod signs in with any Google account, personal or work. There's no Workspace plan to buy and no IT ticket to file, so an agency recruiter and an in-house talent lead get the same thing: a tool that works the day they download it. Your notes stay yours. A candidate summary leaves your account only when you make a link for it.

No bot, and consent stays yours to handle

Nod listens through your Mac instead of joining the interview, so the candidate sees an ordinary one-on-one call with no recorder in the participant list. That doesn't remove your duty to tell them. Recording law varies by place, and some of it asks for everyone's consent, so let the candidate know before you record. Capture is local on your Mac; transcription isn't. Each audio segment is sent through a European proxy to a hosted transcription service and discarded the instant the text returns, under Zero Data Retention and with no model training. No audio is stored at either end. Only the transcript and summary are saved, encrypted at rest in the EU (AWS eu-west-1). See the security page.
