Using URHIRED AI with Phone interviews
When the call is on your phone and the overlay is on your desktop, you get the most comfortable setup there is — nothing is being shared, and nothing is on your screen but the copilot.
Audio
Put the call on speaker next to your machine and set the capture mode to Microphone so the desktop mic picks up the interviewer's side of the call.
Screen sharing
Nothing is shared. The interviewer sees nothing at all.
Setting it up
- 1
Put the call on speaker
Position the phone close enough to your machine for the microphone to hear the interviewer clearly.
- 2
Test the audio level first
Call a friend and confirm the transcript is picking up their side, not just yours.
- 3
Use the full screen
Since nothing is shared, you can make the overlay as large and opaque as you like.
- 4
Watch your pauses
On a phone call there is no video to explain a silence. Keep answers moving.
Surfaces that matter here
Worth knowing
- This is the least constrained setup — no screen share, no camera, no eyeline to manage.
- Speaker phone in a quiet room transcribes far better than a phone held to your ear.
- Recruiter screens are mostly logistics and background. Chat with your resume attached covers it.
