Reline for
people teams
Reline records interviews and 1:1s from your laptop without ever joining the call as a participant, then turns each one into a citation-backed summary you can defend in a debrief. No bot in the candidate's face, and every note is private by default. Capture is local; transcription, storage, and AI run in the cloud.
Hiring decisions made from memory aren't fair ones
By the third interview of the day, the second candidate is a blur. You score from a gut feeling and a half-page of notes you scribbled while half-listening, and a strong answer two hours ago quietly loses to a fresher one. Meanwhile a recording bot is the last thing you want sitting in a candidate's attendee list during the most human conversation your company has with them.
Bias from memory. The candidate you remember best wins, not the one who answered best. When the only record is what stuck, the structured rubric becomes a formality and the score follows the vibe.
A bot in a sensitive conversation is the wrong move. "Reline has joined the meeting" in front of a nervous candidate or in a tense 1:1 changes the room. People get guarded exactly when you need them open.
Access control is real, not a nice-to-have. Interview feedback, comp conversations, and PIP notes can't live in a folder the whole company can wander into. Most note tools default to shared.
Debriefs run on assertion, not evidence. "They seemed strong on systems design" is hard to challenge or defend when nobody can point to what was actually said.
No bot in the candidate's face
Reline runs as a desktop app on macOS, Windows, and Linux. When you start a recording it captures the meeting's system audio plus your microphone locally, so it works the same on Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, a phone screen, or an in-person room. Nothing joins the call. There is no Reline participant in the attendee grid, so the candidate sees you and your hiring manager, not a recording bot watching them sweat. That also means a candidate's or your own IT policy that blocks third-party meeting bots doesn't block you. Speaker labels are Me vs Other, drawn from which audio stream each line came from, not named diarization.
Score from evidence, not from memory
Every summary is citation- and timestamp-backed: each point links to the exact transcript moment that justifies it. So when you fill out the scorecard you're working from what the candidate actually said, not what you half-remember after a back-to-back day. Reusable Lenses let you apply the same structured template to every interview for a role, so two interviewers' notes come out in the same shape and the debrief compares like with like. And because the recording plays back in-app, you click any transcript line to seek to that second and replay the answer that's on the bubble before anyone casts a vote.
Private by default, so sensitive notes stay sensitive
Reline is private by default with a five-level permission model on every note and folder. A workspace role alone grants nothing: each person who can read an interview write-up, a comp discussion, or a 1:1 record is an explicit grant you made. That's how a hiring panel sees a candidate's loop while the rest of the company sees nothing, and how a manager's 1:1 notes stay between two people. On the Enterprise plan you also get an audit log so you can see who accessed what, with SSO available on request.
Push action items to where the work happens
Reline pulls action items out of each interview and 1:1, and you can send summaries and those items to Slack, Linear, or Notion, the integrations supported today. Calendar sync with Google and Microsoft is read-only and keeps each recording attached to the right interview slot automatically, so the panel's notes for one candidate don't drift onto another. Notes are a real Notion-style editor with real-time collaboration, so a panel can build a shared candidate doc without overwriting each other, and folder-scoped RAG chat lets you ask across a whole loop or a quarter of 1:1s with citations back to the call.
Dig deeper
People-team questions, answered
- Will a recording bot show up in my candidate interviews?
- No. Reline never joins the call as a participant and never appears in the attendee list. It records your mic and system audio locally from your laptop, so the candidate only sees the people who are actually interviewing them.
- Can I keep interview feedback and 1:1 notes restricted?
- Yes. Reline is private by default with a five-level permission model on every note and folder. A workspace role alone grants no access, so a hiring panel sees a candidate's loop while everyone else sees nothing, and manager 1:1 notes stay between the two people in them.
- How does this help reduce bias in evaluations?
- Summaries are citation- and timestamp-backed, so you score from what the candidate actually said instead of what you remember at the end of a long day. Reusable Lenses apply the same structured template to every interview for a role, and click-to-seek playback lets the panel replay the exact answer in a debrief.
- Is candidate audio processed on my device?
- No. Capture is local, but audio is transcribed in the cloud, stored in cloud storage, and summarized by cloud AI. Reline does not do on-device transcription or AI, so we won't claim the audio never leaves your device. What protects sensitive notes is the private-by-default access control.
- What languages and platforms are supported?
- Transcription supports 60+ languages with automatic detection, which helps when you interview candidates across regions. Reline runs on macOS, Windows, Linux, and the web; there is no mobile app today.
