What Recruit Recap supports
Recruit Recap turns selected Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Zoom meetings into transcripts, recruiting notes and custom write-ups using a visible opt-in bot. Recruiters review the drafts. ATS integrations are scoped on demand; direct telephone capture, bot-free recording and universal ATS write-back are not established capabilities. See the product workflow and candidate submittal scope.
Map the calls your consultants actually make
Count the workflow types that need coverage: scheduled video screens, regular phone conversations, in-person interviews and client intakes. A tool can produce an attractive summary yet miss the channel that carries most of your agency’s useful information.
Ask Carv to demonstrate the exact phone or in-person setup you intend to use, rather than relying on a general capture statement. Recruit Recap’s verified capture scope is selected Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Zoom meetings through an opt-in visible bot. If a direct phone workflow is mandatory, settle that requirement before testing output.
Keep the recruiter’s next document in view
For the supported channel you are testing, bring a fictional interview and the client’s requested sections. Ask each vendor to produce a draft that separates relevant experience, practical details and open questions.
Then introduce a correction: the candidate’s availability is a target date, not a confirmed start date. See how a recruiter records that distinction and checks the final version. A useful pilot measures the effort of getting to an approved document, rather than the speed at which any summary first appears.
Write down the ATS acceptance criteria
An ATS handoff should identify the candidate, the opportunity and the type of information being saved. Confirm whether the output is a note, an attachment or individual fields. Demonstrate the transfer in your exact environment and check what a second recruiter can access.
Recruit Recap scopes integrations on demand. For Carv, confirm the supported workflow and plan with the vendor. If broad capture is the deciding requirement, prioritize that verified coverage. If your agency works mainly in supported video meetings, compare the quality and review effort of the actual write-up before choosing.

- Can a recruiter find the evidence for a sentence, correct it and share the approved version?
- Which capture methods and output formats are included in the quoted plan?
- What exactly reaches the ATS, and who handles a failed or incorrect transfer?
