What is Truffle?

Truffle is an AI screening platform for small teams doing high-volume hiring: resume screening, one-way video interviews, and talent assessments in one workflow you design. AI surfaces the evidence, you decide.

Truffle is an AI screening platform for small teams doing high-volume hiring. You decide what each role is screened on, any mix of resume criteria, one-way interview questions and assessments, and Truffle reads every candidate against it and ranks them with the evidence shown. It works with job boards like Indeed or the ATS you already have. Nothing is auto-rejected. You make every call.


​


AI surfaces. You decide.

Most AI hiring tools try to decide who moves forward for you. Truffle doesn't. Every screening workflow in Truffle is yours to design, every score comes with the reasoning attached, and every advance, hold, or reject is your call. Truffle never advances, holds, or rejects a candidate on its own.


​


What's in the platform

Three screening methods you can use on their own or combine. Pick what the position needs. They all draw from one shared monthly pool of credits.

  • Resume screening (1 credit per resume). Turn on Resume scoring and AI Match reads every resume against the criteria you set for the role, scores it, and flags qualification gaps. See How does resume screening work?

  • One-way video interviews (5 credits per completed interview). Candidates record answers to your questions on their own time, on any device. You get the full recording, a transcript, AI-surfaced 30-second Candidate Shorts, and a match score against your criteria. See How do I add a one-way video interview to my position?

  • Talent assessments (2 credits per assessed candidate, all three included). Personality (based on validated Big Five research), Work Scenarios (a situational judgment test built around how your team handles real situations), and Environment Fit (whether a candidate's preferences match the reality of the role). See What's the difference between Truffle's assessments?

Qualification checks sit in front of all three: must-have questions like work authorization or a required certification that flag candidates who don't meet the bar, or knock them out if you choose. See How do I add qualification checks?
​
Each method produces a different signal. Resumes show credentials. Video interviews show communication. Assessments show judgment and work-style fit. Use one or stack them.

What you actually do with Truffle

  1. Create a position. Paste a job description, pick which screening methods apply, and keep or edit the criteria and interview questions Truffle drafts from it. A role goes live in about 10 minutes.

  2. Candidates arrive. Share the Position Link on a job board or your careers page, send email invites, paste a CSV for bulk, or add the position's import address to a job board like Indeed so applications flow in automatically. Connected ATSs sync candidates both ways.

  3. Candidates complete the screen. They see your welcome message, answer on camera or by audio, and take any assessments you turned on. A typical one-way interview takes 10 to 15 minutes.

  4. Truffle surfaces the signal. Every candidate gets a match score with the reasoning shown, an AI summary, Candidate Shorts pulled from their video, the full transcript, and their resume and assessment results in one profile.

  5. You review and decide. Sort by match score, open Magic Review, and work through the queue with keyboard shortcuts (A to advance, H to hold, R to reject). Share a read-only profile with anyone outside Truffle.

Where Truffle sits in your hiring stack

  • Truffle is the screening step. Posting, pipeline, offers, and onboarding stay in the job board, ATS, or HRIS you already use. Truffle connects natively to Ashby, Breezy HR, Workable, Bullhorn, JazzHR, Recruitee, Teamtailor, and Indeed, and to 7,000+ other apps through Zapier, plus a REST API and webhooks. See How do I connect Truffle to other tools?

  • Live final-round conversations happen in your own calendar and video tools. Truffle records, transcribes, and scores the first round so you walk into the live conversation with evidence.

  • Coding exercises and take-home assignments run in a dedicated technical assessment tool alongside Truffle.

  • The decision stays with you. AI in Truffle scores transcripts and resumes against your criteria and explains why. It does not analyze faces, voice tone, or emotion, and it never trains on candidate interviews.

Who Truffle is for

Small teams doing high-volume hiring, whoever does the hiring there: the founder, GM, or franchisee doing it themselves, the one-person people team or in-house recruiter at a small company, and small owner-run staffing and recruiting agencies screening for clients. The line is team size and hiring volume, not job title. It earns its keep on the roles you fill over and over, where a single posting pulls hundreds of applications and resumes alone don't tell you enough.
