Notes written for you, in the shape a recruiter actually needs.
Not a transcript to read later. A short note on the record, with what was promised pulled out.
Quick answer
Notes written for you means a conversation becomes a short structured note on the record rather than a transcript to read. Signals writes it in the format a recruitment desk uses, notice period, expectations, motivation and what was agreed, and separates commitments from discussion. The source stays attached, so anything in the note can be checked against what was actually said.
What it is
A complete record and a usable one are not the same thing. A full transcript contains everything, which is exactly why nobody opens it. The recruiter picking up a candidate before a client call has two minutes, not forty, and the conversation is already on the record. A note has to be short enough to read in that time and specific enough to be worth reading, which means it needs a shape rather than a summary.
How it works
The conversation ends
Nothing is opened, nothing is submitted. The note is written from what was already captured.
It is written to your format
Notice period, salary expectation, motivation, what was agreed. A manager sets the shape once, so every note on the desk reads the same way regardless of who took the call.
Commitments are separated from discussion
Three CVs by Thursday is not the same as talking about candidates. What was promised is pulled out and becomes something with a name against it.
The source stays attached
Every line can be traced back to the call, email or message it came from. Nothing in the note is unverifiable.
What it looks like
Written in the desk's format, with the call it came from one click away.
What it means on the desk
A colleague reads six lines instead of forty minutes.
What you promised a client is on the record, not in your memory.
Every note on the desk reads the same way, whoever wrote it.
Where it fits
Automatic capture. How the conversation reaches the record in the first place.
Everything on a role. Where notes and their sources sit together on a live job.

Common questions
No, it cannot. The note is written only from what was captured in the call, email or message. A detail that was never said does not appear in the note, and a field with nothing behind it stays empty rather than being filled with something plausible. The source stays attached to every line, so anything in the note can be checked against what was actually said.
Any recruiter can edit it. A note is not locked. Corrections are made in place and are visible as edits, with who changed what and when, so the record shows its own history. The original call, email or message is never altered, so the note and the source it came from can always be compared.
Yes, a manager sets it. The fields on a note are defined once for the desk, notice period, salary expectation, motivation and what was agreed, and every note then follows that shape. Different desks can run different formats. Changing the format changes the notes written from that point, it does not rewrite the ones already on the record.
Yes, with a different shape. A client conversation is written to a client format, the role, the brief, the process and what was agreed, rather than notice period and expectations. The commitments section behaves the same way on both, because what was promised to a client is the part most likely to be remembered wrongly.
It stays where it was. The recording, transcript or message thread remains on the record in full and is not replaced by the note. The note is a way into the conversation rather than a substitute for it, and one click on any line opens the part of the source it was written from.
Yes, across the region. A conversation held in Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese or Bahasa is written into a note in the language the desk reads, and the source is kept in the language it was spoken. Calls that move between two languages, common across APAC, are handled in the same pass.
