How to add Environment Fit to your interview

Set up the third assessment alongside Personality and the Situational Judgment Test.

Environment Fit is the third assessment type in Truffle, alongside Personality and the Situational Judgment Test. It surfaces how each candidate's working preferences line up with how the role actually works: pace, autonomy, structure, communication style, and so on.

You add Environment Fit to a position during job creation. Candidates complete it as part of their screening flow. Results appear in the Magic Review card and the Assessments tab.

How to enable Environment Fit

  1. Open the position in Truffle.

  2. Go to the Build Interview step.

  3. Toggle Environment Fit on. The configuration panel expands.

  4. Pick the questions you want to include. Each question shows two opposing work-style directions. Truffle suggests a default for each one, marked AI suggested. Click Swap to change a question.

  5. Save and publish the interview.

What candidates see

After the video portion, candidates see a short intro page explaining Environment Fit. Each question shows two cards. They pick the one that sounds more like them. The flow takes a couple of minutes.

How results appear

For each candidate, you see:

  • A summary of how their preferences align with the position

  • A count of aligned and gap responses

  • A signal tier

  • The specific questions where there's a gap, with a short callout

Results sit in two places: the Environment Fit card on the Magic Review panel, and a detail section on the Assessments tab.

Things to know

  • Environment Fit doesn't produce a percentage score. It's a count and a signal tier.

  • You can run Environment Fit alongside Personality and SJT, all three, or any combination.

  • You can swap any question, including the AI-suggested ones, before publishing the interview.

  • Reasoning for the signal tier is visible alongside the result, so you can see why each candidate landed where they did.
