Tactiq comes up quickly when a recruiter wants to stop taking interview notes by hand. It is a Chrome extension that transcribes Google Meet, Zoom and Teams meetings live, without sending a bot into the call, and it claims more than 700,000 extension users. The company is based in Sydney.
Hirify, which publishes this guide, is one of the tools compared. Every fact about Tactiq comes from its official pages, read on September 23, 2026 and listed at the bottom of the article.
Tactiq is easy to adopt. Once the extension is installed, the transcript appears live in a window only you can see, with speaker identification, and the free plan does not ask for a credit card.
Its use in recruitment is documented. The help center offers HR prompts and workflows that run after each meeting, and the page for recruiters mentions sending interview summaries to the ATS. Spaces group the interviews for a role and let you ask a question across several interviews at once, with citations that point to the exact moment in the call.
Its recruiting best practices guide recommends asking the AI for evidence against the job requirements rather than a verdict on the candidate, so that the recruiter remains the one who decides.
Tactiq starts from the meeting, and recruitment is one use case among others. Its main integrations are general-purpose tools such as Google Docs, Notion, Slack, Jira or HubSpot.
Hirify is an HR Hub that connects to your ATS with read and write access, with no migration. After an interview, it prepares the candidate record that the recruiter reviews and then sends to the ATS, and nothing is sent automatically by default. The assistant answers questions about the interviews and candidates already in your database and cites its source, down to the minute of the interview. On top of that come a data reliability report on your ATS and reporting dashboards.
Tactiq's memory is built from the meetings it has transcribed, while Hirify's also draws on what your ATS already contains.
The Tactiq extension works in meetings opened in Chrome or Edge, and according to its help center it does not work in the Zoom and Teams desktop apps. For phone or face-to-face interviews, the remaining option is to import a meeting file.
Hirify takes notes during video, phone and in-person interviews. For a recruitment firm that still does a lot of phone pre-screening, this is the criterion to check before anything else.
Tactiq transcribes more than 30 languages, including French, and its interface is available in French. It transcribes one language at a time, which matters for bilingual technical interviews.
Tactiq's privacy policy states storage on Google Cloud, without specifying the region. Its Trust Center presents its certifications and subprocessors, and access to its documents is granted on request. The AI features run on GPT models through OpenAI's enterprise API (Azure OpenAI according to its help center, which states that content logging is disabled). Tactiq claims SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance, and its pricing page also mentions ISO 27001 and HIPAA. Its privacy policy lets users choose where to store their transcripts, for example in a connected third-party tool.
Hirify is hosted in France, on Scalingo for the application and Scaleway for files. Transcription (Gladia) and AI analysis (Mistral) are processed in France. Semantic search relies on subprocessors outside the EU, declared on hirify.fr/securite. The topic is covered in detail in our guide on hosting interview data.
Tactiq's workflows accept free-form prompts. One example in its help center asks the AI for a recommendation (good fit, to review, not a fit) that then files the interview in a Space, with an optional review step you can add.
At Hirify, the analysis of an interview produces no numerical score. It records sourced facts, suggests an assessment on a five-level scale and leaves the decision to the recruiter. Sourcing, on the other hand, ranks talent pool profiles by weighted criteria and in tiers (Excellent, Good…), with no score displayed. The regulatory framework is covered in our article on the AI Act and recruitment.
