A call made from Hirify becomes an interview like any other. It’s recorded, transcribed, then analyzed. This page covers the call itself, from dialing to the interview notes.
Tell your candidate before you call. The call is recorded and transcribed, and informing them is your responsibility. See Inform your candidates.

​
Start a call from the dashboard

On the Dashboard, the Start an interview block brings together all the ways to record.
1

Enter the number

If your Hirify line is active, a field starting with +33 waits for the candidate’s number in the format “6 12 34 56 78”. Otherwise, click Call to open the call window and enter the number there.
2

Confirm

Press Enter or click the arrow in the field. A malformed number triggers the message “Invalid French number. Expected format: 6 12 34 56 78.”
3

Allow the microphone

On your first call, the browser asks for access to the microphone. Without that permission, the call doesn’t go through and the window shows Allow microphone.

​
The call window

The Phone call window brings together three settings:
  • Number to call: 9 digits. The error messages guide you: “The number must have 9 digits”, “The number can’t exceed 9 digits”, and “The number must start with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7”.
  • Caller ID: your Hirify line, marked with the Hirify badge. It’s the number the candidate sees. Every call goes out from this line.
  • Microphone: the audio input used. The Check audio link expands two tabs, Mic and Speakers, so you can test before dialing.
Click Start the call. If your line isn’t active yet, the window shows “No line.” and a Set up shortcut to the Calling page. See Get a phone number.

​
Follow the live transcription

The call goes through its states in the window: Connecting, then “Ringing…”, then Call in progress with the timer. During the conversation, a green light and the words “Live transcript” confirm that the conversation is being captured. The window doesn’t show the text as it comes in. It tells you that transcription is running, and you read the transcript after the call on the interview page. Two buttons stay within reach: one mutes the microphone, the other hangs up. While the call is active, the window won’t close and shows “End the call before closing this window”.

​
End the call and find the interview notes

Hang up. The window switches to Call ended, shows the duration, and displays the Transcript saved badge. You can then choose between Close and Call again, which immediately redials the same number. The interview joins your interview list under the title “Call with” followed by the number. Processing continues in the background. The transcript, then the interview notes, appear on the interview page when they’re ready. See Review an interview.

​
