Mesakem for hiring teams
Interview notes your hiring panel can actually compare
In an interview you should be listening, not typing. Mesakem records the interview on Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet, or in person with the Windows and Mac app or the phone app, and gives you a transcript by speaker and a structured summary, built on the template your team defines.

How do I take interview notes without missing what the candidate says?
Tell the candidate the interview is recorded, then let Mesakem take the notes. After the interview you get a summary in the same structure for every candidate, a full transcript by speaker, and every line linked to the moment it was said. Mesakem documents the conversation; the evaluation and the decision stay with your team.
How it works
Tell the candidate
Say the interview is recorded, and get consent where required.
Record the interview
With the bot on a video call, or the desktop or phone app in person.
Get a consistent summary
The same template for every candidate, with quotes to check.
Debrief with the panel
Share the notes and ask the interview your questions.
The same record for every candidate
Build an interview template once, in a short chat with the AI, and every interview is summarized the same way. Your panel compares the same things for every candidate, instead of three people's handwriting.
- Relevant experience, in the candidate's own words
- The examples they gave
- The questions they asked you
- Logistics: notice period, location, start date
- Points to follow up in the next round
Quotes you can go back to
Memory blurs after a day of interviews. Click any line in the summary to jump to the exact moment, see who said it and hear it, so the debrief is about what the candidate said, not what someone remembers.
Faster debriefs
Share the summary with the hiring manager by link or by email. Anyone with the link can ask the interview a question, such as "What did she say about leading a migration?", and get an answer from the transcript.
Group every meeting of a role into one room: a running log of decisions, the open topics, and one question answered from all of those meetings at once, such as "Which candidates have worked with distributed teams?" Each answer names the meeting it came from.
Consent, privacy and fairness
Tell candidates that the interview is recorded and why, and get their consent where the law requires it. With the bot, the candidate sees a participant with a clear name. With the desktop or phone app no one joins, so say it out loud at the start.
Mesakem does not score, rank or recommend candidates. Card numbers, ID numbers and passwords are masked before any text reaches the AI, your data is hosted in the EU, and it is never used to train AI.
Questions and answers
Does Mesakem tell me who to hire?
No. Mesakem records and summarizes what was said. It does not score, rank or recommend candidates; that judgment stays with your team.
Do I need the candidate's consent?
Tell every candidate that the interview is recorded, and get consent where the law requires it. The recording and consent page explains what to say.
Can I use it for in-person interviews?
Yes. Record with the Windows and Mac app on a laptop at the table, or with the iPhone and Android app. You get the same transcript and summary as an online interview.
Can I share the notes with the hiring manager?
Yes, with a share link or by email to a verified address. In an organization, each person has a private space and managers see usage, never meetings, unless someone shares one.
How much does it cost?
Your first 10 meetings are free, up to 90 minutes each, with no credit card. That is a one-time allowance, not a monthly one. Pro is $29 a month, or $19 a month billed annually, with unlimited meetings.
Are interviews used to train AI?
No. Your meetings, recordings and transcripts are never used to train AI, by us or by our AI providers. They are visible to you and to the people you choose to share them with.
