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), a Gaps callout (specific places where their responses fell short of what the role calls for), Key insights (a breakdown across specific criteria with a one-line explanation for each), and Reviewer observations (concise observations with reasoning attached). All four appear on the Overview tab 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, Gaps, Key insights, and Candidate Shorts below it are where you go next.
Gaps
Below the summary, the Gaps section calls out specific places where the candidate's responses fell short of what the role calls for.
Each gap is a one-line statement of the missing element and which response it surfaced in.
Gaps are discussion points for the next conversation, not disqualifiers. They help you decide what to probe in a follow-up interview.
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.
Reviewer observations
Reviewer observations are concise, AI-surfaced observations from the candidate's responses, with reasoning attached. They appear inline alongside the summary on the Overview tab.
Each observation is a single line capturing something specific the AI noticed across the responses.
Hover or expand any observation to see the source moment it was drawn from.
Observations save automatically as they're generated. You'll see a brief save spinner while they persist.
Like Key insights, observations are diagnostic. Use them to decide what to dig into.
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.
