For employers interpreting Truffle's AI-generated match score.
Match score is Truffle's AI signal for how closely a candidate's interview responses align with your role criteria, displayed on a 0–100 scale. It runs per completed interview and appears on the candidate dashboard, the candidate profile, and shared candidate links. 70 and above is Strong alignment, 50–70 is Good, and below 50 is Weak. Use it to prioritize who to review first. Every score has reasoning attached so you can see why.
The number is a prioritization signal with reasoning attached, not a hiring decision. Truffle's AI surfaces it; you decide who advances. For how the score is built and how to read it in depth, see How does Truffle score candidates?.
Score tiers
Match score maps to three tiers so you can scan a list quickly without reading every number.
Strong (70+). Clear alignment with the role criteria. Green bar.
Good (50–70). Some alignment; worth a closer look. Amber bar.
Weak (under 50). Limited alignment on the dimensions you set. Red bar.
Where the match score appears
Match score shows up on every surface where a candidate is summarized.
Candidate list. In the Match column, sortable.
Candidate profile header. Next to the candidate's name (e.g. "53 Match").
Screening tab. Per-question score breakdown so you can see which questions drove the overall score.
Shared candidate link. Visible to the external stakeholder you share with.
