Use case · Recruiting

30-minute screen. 12 questions to ask. No bot in the room.

Recruiters live on screening calls — five a day, eight a day during a hiring sprint. Minuta gives you the live transcript and surfaces follow-up questions without a third-party bot joining the meeting.

Why bots in screening calls are awkward

Many candidates today have a clear opinion about meeting bots: "Otter just joined," "Fireflies is recording." In a 30-minute screen — where you're trying to build trust in the first 60 seconds — a bot in the participants list is a small but real friction.

Add to that the fact that some employers (and some candidates) prefer not to have call audio uploaded to a third-party SaaS. Recruiters end up taking notes by hand, missing follow-ups, and writing the summary from memory after the next call.

Where it earns its keep

Live note-taking

Five screens stacked back-to-back

Minuta keeps a clean rolling transcript on the side. You scroll back to the answer about salary expectations or visa status without scrubbing through a recording later.

Follow-up prompts

"Tell me more about that team conflict"

When the candidate gives a short answer to a behavioral question, Minuta can suggest a STAR-format follow-up that fits the role brief you uploaded.

Structured summary

Hand-off to the hiring manager

After the call, Minuta produces a TL;DR, key signals, and red flags. Drop straight into the ATS or share with the hiring manager — no transcribing from a recording.

How it fits a screening workflow

Open Minuta a minute before the call. Attach the role brief and any candidate notes you have. Run the call as you normally would — Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, or a phone bridge.

  • No bot joins. The candidate sees no extra participant. Audio is captured locally on your computer.
  • Live English transcript on the side, synchronized with the call.
  • Follow-up suggestions surface in real time, anchored to the role brief.
  • Post-call summary with TL;DR, role-fit signals, and explicit gaps to follow up on later.

Why recruiters pick Minuta over generic notetakers

  • Bot-free screening calls are simpler to run with candidates who flag privacy concerns.
  • Transcripts and notes for screening conversations stay in the recruiter's desktop app — exportable to the ATS on demand, deletable at any time.
  • Suggested follow-up questions are grounded in the role brief, not generic templates.
  • Structured summaries plug into the ATS hand-off without rework.
