For employers interpreting Truffle's AI-generated signals on the candidate profile.
Every completed candidate has a Candidate summary (a short AI paragraph on key strengths and role fit) and Key insights (a breakdown across specific criteria with a one-line explanation for each). Both appear on the Overview tab and are built so you can read a candidate in under a minute without watching the video.
Candidate summary
The candidate summary is a one- or two-paragraph AI write-up of the candidate's key strengths, their fit against your role criteria, and the headline signals from their interview responses.
Generated after the interview completes, once AI has transcribed and analyzed the video.
Written in plain language, no jargon.
Includes concrete moments from the interview when relevant (not made-up examples. Everything traces back to something the candidate actually said).
The summary is for scanning. When you want to dig deeper, Key insights and Candidate Shorts below it are where you go next.
Key insights
Key insights break the candidate's fit into the specific criteria that matter for the role.
Each insight has a short label (for example, Intent, Detail oriented, Self-awareness, Guest communication, Problem resolution).
Below the label is a one-line explanation of how the candidate demonstrated that trait in their responses.
Labels are drawn from a 32-competency library; Truffle picks the most relevant ones for your role based on the position description and your intake answers.
Insights are diagnostic. They help you form your own judgment. Don't treat them as the hiring decision.
How this relates to other signals
Candidate summary and key insights sit alongside other Truffle signals on the Overview tab.
All of these come from the same underlying analysis (transcript + your role criteria). Use them together, not in isolation.
