re:note for Recruiters & Talent Sourcers
You spend hours reviewing profiles on LinkedIn, screening resumes on job boards, and coordinating with hiring managers. re:note lives in your browser side panel so you can capture candidate insights the moment you spot them — without switching tabs or opening another app.
Why Recruiters Love re:note
Recruiting is all about context. You need to remember why a candidate stood out, what questions to ask in a screen, and when to follow up. re:note keeps that context attached to the exact page where you found it.
- Profile notes on LinkedIn — Open the side panel while viewing any LinkedIn profile and jot down your impressions, salary expectations, or availability. Come back to that profile a week later and your notes are already there.
- Rich text for structured feedback — Use headings to separate sections (Strengths, Concerns, Next Steps), bold key takeaways, and add task lists for interview prep.
- Color-coded stacks for pipeline stages — Create stacks like "Sourced", "Phone Screen", "On-Site", "Offer", and "Rejected". Assign candidates to stacks and filter your entire note list by stage.
- PIN-lock sensitive information — Salary negotiations, confidential client details, and internal feedback can be locked behind a PIN so only you can read them.
Tips and Tricks
Create a dedicated stack for each open role (e.g., "Sr. Frontend Engineer" or "VP Marketing"). This lets you filter down to a single requisition and see every candidate note at a glance.
Use the domain filter to show only notes from linkedin.com. This instantly gives you a focused view of every candidate you've annotated, without scrolling
past notes from other sites.
After a phone screen, add a reminder for 48 hours later so you don't forget to send a follow-up email. re:note will push a browser notification right when it's time.
Create a checklist inside each candidate note: technical skills, culture fit, communication, leadership. Check items off during or after the interview for a quick at-a-glance evaluation.
At the end of a hiring cycle, export all your notes to CSV. Open the file in Google Sheets or Excel to create summary reports for stakeholders, track time-to-fill, or archive candidate feedback.
Platforms That Work Great With re:note
re:note attaches notes to any webpage, making it the perfect companion for the tools recruiters use every day:
- LinkedIn and LinkedIn Recruiter — Add private notes on candidate profiles that only you can see, separate from LinkedIn's built-in notes.
- Greenhouse — Annotate candidate scorecards and job postings with your own context.
- Lever — Keep supplementary notes alongside candidate profiles in your ATS.
- Workday — Add quick notes while reviewing applications or requisitions.
- Indeed — Flag promising resumes with notes and reminders while browsing the candidate pool.

A Real-World Workflow
- Source on LinkedIn — You find a promising software engineer. Open re:note and write down why they're a fit, noting their experience with React and their open-source contributions.
- Tag with a stack — Assign the note to your "Sr. Frontend Engineer" stack with a green color.
- Set a reminder — Schedule a follow-up for tomorrow at 9 AM to send a personalized InMail.
- Phone screen — During the call, open the side panel and add interview notes right on their LinkedIn page. Use a task list to score their responses.
- Move through the pipeline — Reassign the note to "On-Site" stack as they progress.
- Report to the hiring manager — Export the stack to CSV and share a clean summary.
Your candidate research, interview notes, and follow-up reminders — all in one place, all attached to the pages where the work happens.
