Trusted by recruiting teams at
ReCo vs Otter.ai at a glance
ReCo
is stronger when
candidate interviews get a workspace of their own - the job description, CV, questions, notes, and live transcript stay together as you work. ReCo understands that context, so you can use it like ChatGPT for relevant questions, fit analysis, candidate recommendations, and more.
Who it's for
Freelancers, headhunters, and boutique agencies running 10+ candidate calls a week
vs
Otter.ai
is stronger when
you want one general meeting agent across the company - automatic capture, searchable meeting history, AI chat, and integrations for many teams.
Who it's for
Individuals and teams who want every meeting recorded, summarized, and searchable across the company
Choose ReCo when
you want one place for everything around candidate conversations - preparing questions, running the call with the CV, JD, and your notes in view, and writing the summary or recommendation from the sources you choose - not just searchable meeting notes.
How does ReCo compare to Otter.ai feature by feature?
The useful distinction is depth versus breadth: ReCo goes deeper into the candidate interview workflow, while Otter covers more meeting types, teams, and integrations - and records audio to do it.

✨ More than a notetaker
Not another notetaker. The place you run all your candidate conversations from.
Think ChatGPT + a notetaker in one recruiting workspace, already set up for candidate interviews. Prepare the role and questions, run the call with the CV, notes, and live transcript at hand, then create the write-up from those same sources. Because the context builds as you work, AI can help without extra prompts, uploads, or re-explaining the candidate and role.
Prep, run, write up - one space
Role context and questions before the call; the CV, JD, and your own notes at hand during it; a write-up built from those same sources after - you choose what feeds each part.
AI that needs no prompting
Chat and quick actions already know your candidate and role - ask for follow-up questions, a tailored candidate feedback message, or a search strategy. No prompt to write, no transcript to paste, no role to explain.
A notetaker at its core
A live transcript for Google Meet and Teams - without recording audio or video. Face-to-face meetings and browser-to-phone calls: coming soon.
Compliance built into the flow
CV blinding by default, editable transcript, local storage. Responsible AI use is how the tool works - not a policy you have to enforce.
A workflow your team will actually use
Recruiters keep working the way they already do, but with the full interview stage in one place. You get consistent structure across calls and reports, while useful AI does not depend on everyone mastering prompts or rebuilding context.
Time back after every conversation
Reports, notes, and summaries done 50-80% faster - while the conversation is still fresh.
Executive Search
"I know my consultants have the right tools to handle candidate data responsibly while still benefiting from AI in their work. That is not something every recruitment tech gives you."
Otter.ai is a general meeting agent that records, transcribes, and summarizes meetings across a company and makes them searchable with AI chat. ReCo is a recruiting workspace that keeps the CV, job description, interview guide, live transcript, recruiter notes, AI support, and recommendation report together around each candidate call.
No. OtterPilot can join scheduled Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams calls as a visible participant, but Otter also offers bot-free desktop recording on Mac and Windows. Either way, Otter records the meeting audio to create its notes. ReCo is bot-free by design and keeps a live text transcript without recording audio or video at all.
ReCo's face-to-face mode is coming soon: it will live-transcribe the meeting through the computer microphone without storing audio or video. Otter records and transcribes in-person conversations through its mobile, desktop, and web apps.
Browser-to-phone calling in ReCo is coming soon: you will place the candidate call from the browser and get the live transcript inside the same recruiting workspace, paid separately with usage-based prepaid credits. A built-in browser dialer for candidate phone calls is not publicly documented for Otter.
Yes. Otter offers a Recruiting Agent that summarizes resumes and LinkedIn profiles, suggests interview questions, captures the interview, drafts candidate feedback emails, and syncs notes to Greenhouse via Zapier. The difference is where the work happens: Otter layers recruiting assistance on a general meeting platform that records audio, while ReCo runs the whole interview inside a recruiting workspace with the CV and job description in view, no audio or video recording, and recommendation reports built from the sources you choose.
ReCo costs 39 EUR per license per month plus VAT, in one flat plan with every feature included; browser-to-phone calling (coming soon) will be paid separately with prepaid credits. Otter has a free Basic plan with 300 monthly transcription minutes, Pro from $8.33 per user per month billed annually ($16.99 monthly), Business at $19.99 per user per month billed annually ($30 monthly), and custom Enterprise pricing. The difference is what you get for the money: Otter prices general meeting capture and knowledge, ReCo prices a recruiting-specific interview workspace. Prices are as published by each vendor in July 2026.
Yes - that stack is exactly what ReCo replaces. The usual routine: Otter records the call, then you copy the transcript into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, add the CV, explain the role, and ask for a summary or report draft. In ReCo the chat sits next to the live transcript and has already read the CV and the job description, so there is nothing to export, paste, or re-explain. Unlike pasting raw candidate data into a general chatbot, you get the tools to blind names and contact details or remove anything sensitive before it reaches AI - and the same material becomes the recommendation report at the end.
Yes - mostly because there is nothing to roll out in the usual sense. AI adoption stalls when a general tool arrives empty and everyone has to invent their own prompts and use cases. ReCo works the other way around: it lives inside the work they already do - preparing, running, and writing up interviews - and the useful AI actions are one click away, already loaded with the CV, the role, and the conversation: follow-up questions, fit analysis, a feedback message, the report. Nobody has to learn prompting or come up with ideas for "how to use AI". Team leads get a consistent structure across interviews and reports, with CV anonymization, transcript editing, and control over which sources feed each output.
Choose Otter when you want one meeting agent across the whole company: automatic capture of every meeting, searchable meeting history, AI chat over your conversations, and 50+ integrations for sales and other teams. Choose ReCo when your main bottleneck is running candidate interviews with role context and turning the evidence into controlled, client-ready recruiting outputs without recording candidates.
Install the Chrome extension and run one real candidate call with the CV, job description, questions, live transcript, notes, and AI support in one place. Try it for 14 days free, with no card required.
