AI Interview Assistant for Recruiters

Recruitment professionals change roles regularly — from agency to in-house, from generalist to specialist, from individual contributor to team lead. Each transition involves the same panel interviews and behavioral rounds that they run for candidates every day.

SubcueAI is built for the candidate side of the table, whoever is sitting there. It captures both sides of the conversation using dual audio capture and displays cues in a floating overlay on your desktop. Aaron Cao, founder of SubcueAI, designed the tool to run entirely on the candidate's machine, with no browser extension and no bot joining the call.

A recruiter preparing for a Director of Talent Acquisition panel can upload the job description and their resume before the call. During the interview, SubcueAI surfaces relevant talking points based on what the interviewer says.

SubcueAI captures your microphone and system audio simultaneously. Speech-to-text converts the interviewer's questions as they are spoken, and the answer engine matches them against your uploaded context within a few seconds.

The overlay is a standard desktop window on your machine. It does not appear in the video feed the interviewer sees. If you share your entire screen, all windows on your desktop become visible to the other party — the same rule applies to any application. Sharing a specific window or application excludes the overlay from the shared view.

For step-by-step audio configuration on macOS and Windows, the setup tutorial covers both platforms.

Recruiters who run interviews professionally often ask this question with specific knowledge of what they look for in candidates. The answer is the same regardless of your background: SubcueAI does not join the call as a participant, does not add an entry to the participant list, and sends nothing through the meeting platform.

The only scenario where the tool becomes visible is full-desktop screen sharing. In that case, the overlay window is visible the same way any open application would be. Window-based screen sharing, which limits what is shared to a specific application, keeps the overlay off the shared feed.

The detectability topic hub covers every major platform and scenario in detail, including what proctoring software can and cannot see.

The setup process is the same for any professional role. Download the macOS or Windows desktop app, configure audio routing for your system, and upload context files before your interview.
