Transcribe job interviews: assess candidates on the text

How it works, step by step

Ask the candidate for consent at the start ("we record to re-listen to answers, the file is deleted afterwards") and record with your phone, or with Teams/Zoom/Meet recording if the interview is online.
Upload the file to trascrivo.com right after the interview and pick the language.
Press Transcribe and download the TXT. Highlight the answers to key questions and add your notes: timestamps take you back to the passage to re-listen.

Comparing candidates on the same questions

If you ask everyone the same five questions, comparison on text is immediate: put the answers side by side and assess concreteness, examples, consistency. Verbatim quotes in the feedback to the team weigh more than "seemed well prepared".

Rules and respect

Recording and transcript are the candidate's personal data: inform first, keep the text only for the length of the selection and delete it after. TraScrivo deletes the audio right after transcription and does not keep the text, except with paid server processing, which keeps it in your account for 30 days. A candidate may ask not to be recorded: in that case, handwritten notes.

FAQ

Do I have to tell the candidate?

Yes, always, and get consent before starting. It is also a matter of mutual trust.

Does the text say who is speaking?

Only with server processing (Pass and Pro); in the free browser mode the text has no speaker labels. In a two-person interview, questions and answers are easy to tell apart; in panels, the moderator can name whoever speaks.

Can I transcribe interviews in other languages?

Yes, over 90 languages; for bilingual interviews leave auto-detect on.
