Voice to Text for Talent Acquisition Specialists
You spend your days talking to candidates, hiring managers, and stakeholders. But every conversation creates documentation work — interview notes, ATS updates, employer branding content, process guides. Blurt lets you capture it all by speaking instead of typing. Hold a button, talk through your notes, release. Text appears in Greenhouse, Lever, LinkedIn Recruiter, or wherever your cursor is. Your insights get documented while they're fresh, not forgotten because typing took too long.
The Typing Problem
Interview notes that never get finished
You just had a great 45-minute candidate conversation. You know exactly what made them stand out, their concerns about the role, their salary expectations. But you have three more interviews today. By the time you sit down to type your notes, the nuances are gone. You write 'strong communicator, good culture fit' when you had so much more to say. The hiring manager gets incomplete context. Another great candidate slips through the cracks.
Employer branding content you never have time to create
Marketing wants employee spotlights, career page updates, and social media content about your company culture. You know the stories — you hear them every day in interviews. But writing polished content takes hours you don't have between sourcing calls and intake meetings. The careers page stays stale. Your employer brand suffers while competitors post engaging content daily.
Recruiting process documentation nobody maintains
Your team's processes live in your head. The new TA coordinator asks how to handle internal referrals and you realize there's no written guide. You've been meaning to document everything — the intake meeting framework, the scorecard criteria, the offer approval workflow. But documenting processes means hours of typing, and you're already behind on your req load.
Diversity sourcing notes scattered across tools
You're building diverse pipelines across multiple roles and the data matters. You need to track which sourcing strategies work, which events generated quality candidates, how different outreach messages perform. But updating your diversity initiative tracking means switching between spreadsheets, your ATS, and Slack channels. The friction means insights get lost and patterns go unnoticed.
Candidate experience feedback you can't act on
Candidates share valuable feedback — about your interview process, how they found you, what almost made them decline. This intelligence could improve your hiring funnel. But capturing it means more typing after each conversation. You make mental notes that never become documentation. Your process never improves because the insights never get recorded.

Real Scenarios
Capturing structured interview notes immediately
The candidate just left the Zoom call. Instead of typing while memories fade, you hold your hotkey and talk: 'Strong technical skills demonstrated through the portfolio walkthrough. Showed adaptability by describing how they handled scope changes on the product launch. Asked insightful questions about team structure and growth opportunities. Compensation expectation of 140K is above our range but has flexibility. Recommend advancing to hiring manager round.' Complete, detailed notes in 30 seconds. Your ATS scorecard is filled out while the conversation is fresh.
Creating employer branding content from real stories
An engineer just shared an amazing story about why they joined. You could write a LinkedIn post right now while the details are vivid. Hold button and speak: 'When Sarah joined our engineering team, she wasn't looking for a new role. What changed her mind was meeting the team during our open source hackathon. Three years later, she leads our platform team and mentors junior engineers. Her advice to candidates: ask about the problems you'll solve, not just the tech stack.' Content drafted in 20 seconds. Marketing just got fresh material.
Documenting recruiting processes for your team
The new coordinator needs to learn your intake meeting framework. Instead of scheduling a training session, you talk through the process: 'Before every intake meeting, review the job description and prepare three questions about the ideal candidate profile. During the meeting, confirm must-haves versus nice-to-haves and get specific examples of success in the role. After the meeting, update the scorecard criteria and send a summary to the hiring manager within 24 hours.' Process documented in one minute while walking to your next meeting.
Updating diversity initiative tracking
You just ran a sourcing campaign targeting HBCUs and need to log the results. Hold and speak: 'HBCU outreach campaign for software engineering roles generated 47 responses from 200 messages, 23% response rate. Twelve candidates moved to phone screen, eight advanced to technical, three offers extended. Strongest response came from personalized LinkedIn messages mentioning specific coursework. Recommend expanding budget for spring career fairs.' Your diversity sourcing playbook grows without the friction of manual data entry.
Analyzing candidate experience survey feedback
You're reviewing candidate feedback forms and need to summarize themes for the leadership presentation. Talk through your analysis: 'Common themes from Q4 candidate surveys: interview scheduling was smooth, candidates appreciated quick feedback turnaround. Areas for improvement include clearer job descriptions and more transparency about compensation ranges upfront. Three candidates mentioned competing offers moved faster. Recommend adding salary ranges to job posts and shortening time-to-offer by two days.' Analysis complete, ready for your deck.
Documenting offer negotiation conversations
You just had a tricky negotiation call and need to update the candidate file before the approval meeting. Hold and talk: 'Candidate requested 150K base, we offered 140K. Discussed equity vesting schedule and signing bonus options. Candidate's main priority is remote flexibility for childcare. Agreed to three days remote minimum. Verbal acceptance pending written offer by Friday. Notify hiring manager and schedule start date discussion.' Negotiation details captured completely, no important context lost.
Coordinating onboarding handoffs
The offer was accepted and now you need to brief HR and the hiring manager on day-one logistics. Instead of typing the same information in three different places, speak once: 'New hire starting March 15th. Needs laptop shipped to Austin address by March 10th. Hiring manager requested first-week schedule include shadow sessions with product team. Candidate mentioned dietary restrictions for team lunch. Buddy assigned: Jordan from customer success.' Copy and paste into Slack, email, and your HRIS. Onboarding coordination done in 30 seconds.
