Hush Minutes
Hush Hire
Record a job interview and score the candidate against the job's weighted requirements, with the words they said as evidence. All on your Mac, iPhone or iPad; nothing is uploaded.
For Mac (macOS 14 or later), iPhone and iPad (iOS 26 or later). US$79.99 once, for all three: no account, no subscription. Coming soon to the App Store.
How it works
- Set up the job three ways. Paste the listing, take or drop a picture of it (read on your device; the picture is not kept), or describe the role and Apple's on-device model writes the requirements. Give each requirement a weight and mark the must-haves.
- Record the interview. The transcript appears as people speak. A consent reminder comes before you start, and the moment consent is given is noted.
- A scorecard when you stop. Each requirement gets a score from 0 to 4 with the candidate's own words quoted as evidence, with timestamps and a confidence. An overall score out of 100, and any missing must-have flagged. Every quote is checked against the transcript.
- Compare candidates side by side, and export a scorecard as a PDF.
Fair by design
- Protected characteristics are never scored. Lines that touch them are left out of the scoring.
- Questions you should not ask are flagged, when an interviewer's question touches a protected characteristic.
- Biased wording in a requirement is marked, so you can fix the job before you interview.
- A score is a starting point for your judgement, not a hiring decision. Read the evidence, and decide yourself.
Written scorecards are best with Apple Intelligence turned on (macOS 26 or iOS 26); without it, simpler rules are used. On a Mac it can also hear the other side of a video call, with the Screen Recording permission; an iPhone or iPad records the room it is in. Tell candidates you are recording and get their consent where the law requires it.
Privacy
Hush Hire records, transcribes and scores on your Mac, iPhone or iPad and nowhere else. The App Store version makes no network connection. There is no account, no analytics and no advertising, and the App Store lists it as Data Not Collected. Read the full Hush Hire privacy policy.
Support
Write to support@hushminutes.com or use the contact form, and say it is about Hush Hire. A person answers. Never send an interview, a transcript or anything about a candidate; a description of the problem is enough.
- Nothing is being transcribed. Check Hush Hire is allowed the microphone (on a Mac in System Settings, on iPhone and iPad in Settings, under Privacy and Security, Microphone), and that the level meter moves when you speak.
- A score looks wrong. Open the requirement and read the quoted evidence. Adjust the requirement or its weight, or score it yourself; the score is there to help your judgement, not replace it.
- The scorecard is plain. Written scorecards need Apple Intelligence switched on.
- Refunds. Purchases are made through Apple, and Apple handles refunds at reportaproblem.apple.com.
