For employers reading the Screening tab on a candidate profile.
Every screening question on a candidate's profile comes with an AI-generated evaluation panel: Why We Ask This (what the question is testing), What We Look For (the specific traits being evaluated), and Evaluation Criteria (what a strong vs. weak response looks like). The panel makes the rubric visible so your team can calibrate on what "good" means for this role.
For the score itself, see How does Truffle score candidates?.
Where to find the evaluation panel
To see the evaluation panel for a question, open a candidate's profile and switch to the Screening tab.
Open the candidate from your position's candidate list.
Click the Screening tab.
Expand any question to see its evaluation panel and the candidate's response.
Every question on the position gets its own panel, so the criteria are consistent across candidates. You can compare question-by-question across people against the same bar.
The three pieces of the evaluation panel
Each expanded question shows three elements, generated by Truffle's AI from your job description and position details.
Why We Ask This. A short explanation of the question's purpose. Example: "This question is designed to reveal how the candidate approaches ambiguous problems — the kind of situations your role will put them in."
What We Look For. The traits being evaluated. Example: "Structured thinking, comfort with uncertainty, willingness to act with incomplete information."
Evaluation Criteria. Anchoring examples of what strong and weak responses look like for this question. Shows what "good" means so your team can calibrate.
How the panel is generated
The AI builds the Why / What / Criteria for each question from your job description, role details, and — if you've filled it in — the AI personalization on the position. More detail in those fields produces sharper panels.
You can edit the question itself (in Step 3 of the wizard) and Truffle regenerates the panel. You can't currently edit the generated Why / What / Criteria by hand — they're always derived from the question and your role context.
