AI clips from your screening calls

How to send a Submio bot to your screening call, what Claude extracts after the call ends, and how the recruiter-approval gate works.

3 min readUpdated June 15, 2026

Submio can extract the three most relevant moments from a screening call automatically. The recruiter approves each clip before it attaches to the submission. The clips render on the public HM review page alongside any manually-uploaded clips.

Sending the bot to a call

On any submission, open the edit screen. You will see a "Screening call" section near the top.

  • Click "Send recording bot". A dialog asks for the meeting URL.
  • Paste the URL from your Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or Webex calendar invite.
  • Click "Send to meeting". The bot is dispatched immediately; if the meeting has not started yet, the bot joins on schedule.
  • The bot announces itself when it joins so the candidate knows the call is being recorded.

Note

You can only have one recording bot per submission at a time. If you need to record a follow-up call for the same candidate, send the second bot after the first call has finished.

What happens after the call

When the meeting ends, Recall.ai produces a transcript and an mp4 of the recording. We pull both. Claude reads the transcript against the role's scorecard and proposes three clips with timestamps, a one-line rationale, and a mapping back to the specific requirement each clip evidences.

This process takes a few minutes. The submission's screening-call section shows the live status ('Bot recording', 'Transcribing', 'Extracting clips', etc.) so you know where in the pipeline things are.

Reviewing clips

When clips are ready, the "Review N clips" button appears on the submission edit page. Click it to open the clip review screen.

  • Each clip plays inline. The video preview is windowed to the clip range — you do not have to scrub through the full call.
  • The label is the headline the hiring manager sees. Click it to edit before approving.
  • The rationale explains why this clip matters. The scorecard chip shows which role requirement the clip evidences.
  • Approve sends the clip to the public HM review page. Reject hides it (with an optional reason that helps us improve extraction). Reset moves an approved or rejected clip back to pending if you change your mind.

How clips appear to the hiring manager

Approved clips render in the same clip strip as any manually-uploaded videos on /r/[token]. The HM sees the clip label as a caption underneath each thumbnail. They can play, pause, scrub. There is no "AI-generated" badge — the clips look exactly like clips you might have picked yourself.

The full call recording is stored privately in your Submio storage. Only the clip windows are exposed to the HM through the review page.

Privacy and consent

The Recall.ai bot announces itself when it joins the meeting. Candidates can refuse — if they do, ask the bot to leave by removing it from the meeting on your side. The transcript, recording, and clips are not stored anywhere outside your Submio account.

Recall.ai and Anthropic (Claude) are listed as sub-processors in our privacy policy at /privacy-policy. Anthropic does not train on Submio data; this is contractual.

Tip

A short heads-up to the candidate before the call ("we record the screen so I can share specific moments with the hiring manager — let me know if that's a problem") tends to land well.
