Google Meet integration for Atlas
Atlas connects to Google Meet through the AI Note Taker, which joins your interviews and client calls. When the call ends, the full transcript and the clear takeaways are already on the Atlas record. Nobody types anything up afterwards. That covers first-stage screening and client briefings alike. It sits with the rest of the Atlas integrations.

What Google Meet does
Google Meet is Google's video meeting tool. Calls run in the browser from a link. A candidate can join from a laptop between meetings without installing anything first. Meetings are scheduled straight from a Google Calendar invite. That is how most first-stage interviews end up there by default. For agencies already inside Google Workspace, it is the path of least resistance. Recruiters use it for screening calls, panel interviews and client updates, mostly because it is already open in another tab.
What changes in your day
A first-stage interview starts at nine and the consultant opens the Meet link from the calendar. The AI Note Taker joins the call with them. The recording and the transcript happen inside the interview itself. There is no second tool to launch and no recording to go looking for afterwards. What comes out is a full transcript, not a handful of half-typed lines.
Client briefings run the same way. A requirement gets described once, in detail, on a call, and the transcript is what the team works from. Nobody works from a paraphrase passed around the desk. Two weeks later, when the spec has drifted, the original brief is still there word for word.
Between calls is where notes go to die. The next interview starts before the last one has been written up. What eventually gets typed is a line about a notice period. Takeaways are captured on the record without anyone writing them, while the consultant is already on the next call.
A candidate calls back three months later and gets whoever answers. The consultant who screened them is on a different desk now. The call history sits on the candidate profile, so the person picking up can read what was actually said. Nothing has to be asked twice.
Searching the database used to mean searching what someone remembered to type. Transcripts change what is in there. The detail from the interview sits on the record in the candidate's own words. That is what feeds search across the database. A name surfaces because of something said out loud in a screening call, not because a consultant tagged it correctly at the time.
Then the client asks for a written profile before Thursday. Candidate reports draw on the same transcripts. What goes to the client comes from the interview rather than from memory and a CV. The write-up is a review rather than a reconstruction. What the client reads is grounded in the interview.
How to turn it on
There is no build work involved. What you need on your side is a Google account that can host Meet calls. You also need admin rights in your Atlas workspace. Worth having ready before you ask: who on your team runs interviews in Meet. It is also worth checking that your own recording policy covers a transcript being stored on the candidate record. Ask Atlas support to switch it on. They will confirm once it is running for your workspace. The video calls themselves carry on running in Meet exactly as they do today.
Microsoft Teams and Zoom are covered the same way on their own pages, if either is already on the desk.
Google Meet FAQ
Do we need a separate transcription tool for Meet interviews?
No. The AI Note Taker joins the Meet call and produces the transcript from it. There is no second recorder to launch and no file to upload afterwards. The interview is captured as part of the call your consultant was already running.
Where do the transcript and the takeaways end up?
On the Atlas record. The full transcript and the takeaways are written to the record when the interview ends. They do not sit in a separate notes tool that one person opens. Anyone working the role sees the same thing.
Can the rest of the team see the call history?
Yes. Call history sits on the candidate profile and is visible to the team. It is not held by the consultant who ran the interview. When a candidate comes back months later, whoever picks them up can read what was said the first time.
Does it work on client calls as well as interviews?
Yes. The AI Note Taker joins client calls in Meet the same way it joins interviews. A briefing is captured in full rather than paraphrased into a spec afterwards. The transcript stays on the record for the whole team.
What happens to the transcripts once the interview is over?
They become searchable material. Transcripts feed client ready search across the database and the candidate reports you send out. A profile can be built from what the candidate actually said. The detail does not depend on what somebody remembered to type.
Do we carry on using Google Meet as we do now?
Yes. Calls still run in Google Meet, scheduled from the calendar in the usual way, and your existing account is unchanged. Atlas connects to what you already use. The difference shows up in the record afterwards, not in the call itself.
