AI notes for interviews, now expanded into sourcing and application-review agents.

Verified 14 Jul 2026· sourceOverview
Metaview started as the best answer to a narrow, real problem: interviewers taking notes cannot listen properly, and the notes they do take are inconsistent enough to make comparison meaningless. It joins the interview, transcribes it, and produces structured notes mapped to what you were actually assessing, then writes them into the ATS. It has since grown into a broader set of recruiting agents — sourcing outreach, inbound application review against your criteria — and connects to Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever, Gem and SmartRecruiters. There is a free entry point, with paid usage layered on the agents you actually run. The caveats are the ones you would expect. Transcription-derived notes are only as good as the audio and degrade on crosstalk or heavy accents. A recording bot in an interview changes the candidate's behaviour, and consent is a legal requirement in many jurisdictions, not a courtesy. And the newer screening agents are asking you to trust AI judgement in a domain where bias claims carry real legal weight — supervise them.
