ReCo vs Fathom at a glance

ReCo
is stronger when

candidate interviews get a workspace of their own - the job description, CV, questions, notes, and live transcript stay together as you work. ReCo understands that context, so you can use it like ChatGPT for relevant questions, fit analysis, candidate recommendations, and more.

Who it's for

Freelancers, headhunters, and boutique agencies running 10+ candidate calls a week

Fathom
is stronger when

you want a free or low-cost recorder for every kind of call, with recordings, clips, and summaries your team can share.

Who it's for

Individuals and teams who want free call recording, summaries, and shareable clips across many kinds of meetings

Choose ReCo when

you want one place for everything around candidate conversations - preparing questions, running the call with the CV, JD, and your notes in view, and writing the summary or recommendation from the sources you choose - not just a recording and a summary.

Fathom and separate tools, or a 6-in-1 workspace?

Six tools. One workspace. From interview to client recommendation.

If you move interview material from Fathom into ChatGPT and Word, you still assemble the context yourself. ReCo brings transcription, AI, CV and job description, notes, CV anonymization and report editing into one workspace for recruiters.

  2. Move material from Fathom into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini together with the CV.

  5. Rebuild the report in Word and copy it onto letterhead with your logo.
WithReCo

You interview the way you already do, and the work itself builds the context.

  • Online, phone and face-to-face interviews stay in one workspace, with the same candidate context.
  • The brief, CV, your questions and notes sit next to the live transcript.
  • One click turns that context into a fit analysis, follow-up questions or the recommendation.
  • CVs are anonymized automatically before AI processing. The transcript is yours to edit.
  • You refine the report block by block, in your structure and branding.

How does ReCo compare to Fathom feature by feature?

The useful distinction is depth versus breadth: ReCo goes deeper into the candidate interview workflow, while Fathom records and summarizes many kinds of calls - and stores the recordings to do it.

Why interview-heavy recruiters choose ReCo

Fathom makes recording and summarizing calls effortless. ReCo is purpose-built for the recruiter work around candidate interviews: prepare each role, run back-to-back calls with context at hand, then use that same context for meaningful AI help and client-ready outputs.
6-in-1
one interview workspace - JD, CV, questions, transcript, notes, and AI
+4-6h
saved every week - less switching, searching, and writing
50-80%
less report editing - drafted from transcript, notes, CV, and JD
⌛ Time-saving

One report. Written your way.

The usual routine is a transcript tool plus ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude. ReCo replaces that whole stack with one system: a live, bot-free transcript, AI that already knows the CV and the job description, and a report editor where you decide what gets written and how - no copy-pasting between tools.

  • ✔️ Sources per paragraph. Transcript, notes, CV or job description - chosen block by block, not once for the whole report.
  • ✔️ AI writes it, you write it, or both. Generate the whole report, regenerate a single paragraph with your own instruction, or write a section yourself - however you like.
  • ✔️ Nothing is locked. Edit any line by hand, delete a block, or add another paragraph long after the report was generated - even one your template never asked for.

✨ More than a notetaker

Not another notetaker. The place you do the whole interview job - from running the call to the finished report.

Think ChatGPT + a notetaker in one recruiting workspace, already set up for candidate interviews. Prepare the role and questions, run the call with the CV, notes, and live transcript at hand, then create the write-up from those same sources. Because the context builds as you work, AI can help without extra prompts, uploads, or re-explaining the candidate and role.

Prep, run, write up - one space

Role context and questions before the call; the CV, JD, and your own notes at hand during it; a write-up built from those same sources after - you choose what feeds each part, and what you write yourself.

A recommendation report you edit however you like

Generate the whole candidate report, rewrite one paragraph with your own instruction, or write a section by hand - all in the same editor, with the sources behind each block up to you: transcript, notes, CV or job description.

A notetaker at its core

A live transcript for Google Meet and Teams, with no audio or video stored. Face-to-face meetings and phone calls on speakerphone are captured through the computer microphone as a paid add-on.

Time back after every conversation

Reports, notes, and summaries done 50-80% faster - while the conversation is still fresh.

AI that needs no prompting

Chat and quick actions already know your candidate and role - ask for follow-up questions, a tailored candidate feedback message, or a search strategy. No prompt engineering, no transcript to paste, no role to explain.

Compliance built into the flow

CV blinding and transcript editing - data stays local, you control what gets processed.

A workflow your team will actually use

Recruiters keep working the way they already do, but with the full interview stage in one place. You get consistent structure across calls and reports, while useful AI does not depend on everyone mastering prompts or rebuilding context.
