For employers setting up a new position in Truffle.
To create a position, open Positions in the sidebar and click + Create position. Truffle walks you through a 4-step wizard. Set up position, Build interview, Configure interview, Review and activate. The key step is Build: that's where you pick which components the position has. A position can be a video interview only, an assessments-only screen, qualification checks alone, or any mix.
The 4 steps
Each step collects one slice of the position's setup. You can go back and forward freely until you activate.
Set up position. Title, description, optional details (department, employment type, location).
Build interview. Pick which components this position includes: video interview, assessments, qualification checks.
Configure interview. Configure each component you turned on in Step 2.
Review and activate. Double-check everything, preview the candidate experience, publish.
Step 1: Set up position details
On Step 1, enter the core facts about the role.
Position title. Be specific ("Sales Account Executive", not "Sales"). Title is shown to candidates and factors into AI question suggestions.
Position description. Paste your JD. Truffle's AI reads it to suggest interview questions and to calibrate match scoring. More detail = better suggestions.
Optional details. Department, employment type (full-time, part-time, contract), work arrangement (remote, hybrid, on-site), location. These are optional but help with AI tuning and candidate-side clarity.
Click Next to move to Step 2.
Step 2: Pick components
This is the step that makes positions modular. Toggle on only the components you want candidates to complete.
Video Interview. Candidates answer your custom questions on video. See How do I add a one-way video interview to my position?.
Assessments. Optional psychometric-style signals. Three types: Personality, Work Scenarios, Environment Fit. See the Assessments sub-collection.
Qualification checks. Pre-interview filter questions (for example, "Do you have right-to-work in the US?"). See How do I add qualification checks?.
Any combination is valid. A position with only assessments (no video) is fine. A position with only qualification checks is fine. Mix and match for what the role actually needs.
Step 3: Configure each component
Step 3 shows an accordion with one section per component you turned on. Only the components you enabled in Step 2 appear here. Configure each one. Questions for the video interview, scenarios for Work Scenarios, trait preferences for Personality, and so on. Each component has its own article linked above.
Step 4: Review and activate
Step 4 is the final check. Expand each section to verify what's configured. From here you can also:
Preview interview. See exactly what candidates will experience. See How do I preview what candidates will see?.
Customize branding. Add your logo, brand color, welcome/completion messages. See How do I customize interview branding?.
Personalize AI. Give Truffle two pieces of context that shape match scoring. See How do I personalize Truffle's AI for my position?.
Click Activate interview when you're ready. Truffle generates a share link you can send to candidates or post on job boards.
