Interview intelligence for recruiting platforms
Recruiting platforms are judged on the quality of their interview records. MeetStream gives you one API to record, transcribe, and structure interviews wherever they happen, so every panel produces the same complete, reviewable record.
How to record interviews across Zoom, Meet, and Teams
Your customers interview on whatever platform their company already uses, and candidates cannot be asked to install something new for a job interview. That means an interview intelligence product has to cover Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams from day one or accept holes in its coverage.
MeetStream covers all three behind one API with identical integration code. The bot joins from the meeting link with no host permission and no paid meeting plan required, so it works whether the interview was scheduled by your customer, the hiring manager, or an external recruiter.
Separate the candidate from the panel
Interviews are multi-speaker by nature, and mixed-track recordings make them painful to review. MeetStream returns per-participant audio and video files alongside the full MP4, so you get a clean candidate stream for assessment, clip generation, and playback without the panel's crosstalk.
Transcripts arrive with speaker identification, which turns raw text into structure: candidate answers grouped by question, interviewer talk time that shows whether panels stuck to the script, and quotes that are attributable when a hiring decision gets debated.
One request per interview
Your scheduling system already knows the meeting link, so instrumenting an interview is one POST request with that URL. Webhook notifications on bot lifecycle events update interview status in your product automatically: the panel joined, recording started, the interview ended, media is ready for review.
For platforms that manage scheduling end to end, calendar integration with Google and Outlook can place bots on upcoming interviews automatically, up to three months out.
Consistent records make fairer decisions
When every interview produces the same artifacts, hiring reviews change character. Scorecards can cite the candidate's actual words with timestamps instead of an interviewer's recollection. Join and leave metadata documents who was present for which portion. Debriefs happen against evidence, and structured records give hiring teams something concrete to review when a decision is questioned.
This consistency is also what lets you build comparison features: the same question answered by five candidates, side by side, pulled from diarized transcripts.
Candidate data deserves extra care
Interview recordings are personal data with a long tail of obligations. MeetStream encrypts data in transit and at rest, is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, and is under audit for SOC 2 Type 2. With bring-your-own S3, interview media can be written directly to your customer's storage, keeping retention and deletion under their control from the start.
How it works
- Your platform sends a POST with the interview meeting link when the interview is scheduled or starting.
- The bot joins the Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams call and records as a visible participant.
- Webhooks update your interview status, and diarized transcripts plus per-participant media arrive when it ends.
- Your product structures answers, generates scorecard evidence, and stores the record.
Frequently asked questions
How is candidate consent handled?
The bot joins as a visible, named participant, so everyone in the interview can see recording is happening. Your product owns the disclosure flow, and most platforms pair the bot with notice in the interview invitation.
Can I get a clean recording of just the candidate?
Yes. Per-participant audio and video files are available alongside the full meeting MP4, so assessment tools and highlight clips can use the candidate's stream on its own.
What if the interviewer forgets to admit the bot?
The bot waits to be admitted like any guest when a waiting room is enabled, and webhook events tell your platform exactly what happened, so you can prompt the interviewer in real time instead of discovering a missing recording later.
Where are interview recordings stored?
By default in MeetStream's encrypted storage, retrievable via API. With bring-your-own S3, recordings land directly in your or your customer's bucket, which many talent teams prefer for retention policy reasons.
