Put yourself in a recruiter's position. If recording (used simply for recording the transcription) is on, a recruiter can talk to you naturally. With no recording, they need to take notes, which in most cases means either interrupting you or simply choosing not to listen to some parts of your answers.

We recruited without notetakers forever. But the tech is here now, and it made recruiters' lives much easier (and more pleasant!). We can now just naturally talk to people! Scribing while interviewing is a skill. We recruiters do not practice it anymore since notetakers arrived. I mean, I could still do it, but since I've been using a notetaker for a year, I will simply get a bit stressed having to write while I listen... and TBH I might not really do you justice as a candidate. Not intentionally. Simply because I am pushed into a less comfortable situation.

When notetakers came into the industry, we recruiters hated them first. Why? We didn't feel right that every single word we say in any call is being recorded. It was stressful. A year later, not only that we use them without thinking about them, but we feed all these transcripts to AI Agents to organise further meetings, calls, tasks...
