# Truffle

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/528243/Truffle

> Truffle is candidate screening software for small teams that are constantly hiring and have no recruiter to do the screening.&#10;&#10;If you're the owner, founder, GM, or franchisee who got stuck with hiring, you already know the problem. Every role gets hundreds of applications. Resumes all look the same. And the only way to figure out who's real is to schedule call after call after call, at night, on top of your actual job.&#10;&#10;Truffle replaces that process. You design your own screening workflow using any combination of resume screening, one-way video interviews, and talent assessments. Candidates respond on their own time from anywhere. AI transcribes every response, scores it against criteria you define, and surfaces a 30-second Candidate Short of what stood out. Nothing is auto-rejected. You make every call.&#10;&#10;Three capabilities, one workflow:&#10;&#10;Resume screening. Upload your role criteria once. AI ranks every resume against your requirements, flags qualification gaps, and cuts obvious mismatches without keyword filtering. You see who actually meets your bar before you spend an hour on calls.&#10;&#10;One-way video interviews. Candidates record on their own time. AI transcribes each answer, scores responses against criteria you set, and surfaces 30-second Candidate Shorts. You watch the highlights, not the full clip. Review a candidate in seconds instead of scheduling a 15-minute call.&#10;&#10;Talent assessments. Pick from Personality (validated Big Five / IPIP), Situational Judgment Tests built around your team's real scenarios, or Environment Fit checks. Lightweight enough that someone juggling a dozen open roles will actually use them.&#10;&#10;Use one capability on its own, stack two, or use all three. The screening process is yours to design.&#10;&#10;What is included on every plan:&#10;&#10;AI Match scores against your role criteria, with reasoning shown for every score&#10;AI Summaries that highlight what stood out for each candidate&#10;Candidate Shorts (30-second highlight reels)&#10;Full interview transcripts&#10;AI Check (Beta): flags patterns that suggest AI assistance, as a context signal, not a disqualification&#10;Position Link: one shareable link per role, with custom branding&#10;Multi-reviewer scoring, comments, and side-by-side comparison&#10;Unlimited open positions, team members, and reviewers&#10;&#10;Pricing transparency:&#10;&#10;Truffle is credit-based. One shared monthly pool, spent across all three methods: a screened resume is 1 credit, an assessed candidate is 2, a completed one-way interview is 5.&#10;&#10;Starter: $49/month, 200 credits, roughly 1 to 3 roles. Hard cap, no overage bills.&#10;Core: $119/month ($99/month billed annually), 600 credits, roughly 4 to 8 roles.&#10;Team: $239/month ($199/month billed annually), 1,500 credits, roughly 10 to 20 roles.&#10;Scale: $599/month ($499/month billed annually), 4,000 credits, roughly 25 to 50 roles.&#10;Custom: for 50+ roles a month, book a call.&#10;&#10;Every feature is on every plan. Plans differ by credit pool, not features. No per-seat charges. No per-position charges. No AI add-ons. No contracts. On Core and up, unused credits roll over for 12 months and annual billing is 2 months free.&#10;&#10;Free trial: 7 days, 30 credits, no credit card. Cancel anytime.&#10;&#10;How Truffle compares:&#10;&#10;HireVue: enterprise pricing, contact sales. Truffle is transparent from $49/mo.&#10;Spark Hire: starts at $299/month. Truffle starts at $49.&#10;VidCruiter: custom pricing only. Truffle is self-serve, no sales call.&#10;Willo: $279-409/month. Truffle includes AI Match, Candidate Shorts, and assessments from $49.&#10;Hireflix: $150+/month for one-way video only. Truffle adds resume screening and assessments, from $49.&#10;TestGorilla: per-position pricing on lower tiers. Truffle gives unlimited positions on every plan.&#10;&#10;Live chat support on every plan. Truffle is built for the person hiring without a recruiter who wants their judgment back. AI surfaces information. Humans make decisions.

## Reviews

### "Truffle is an A+++" — 5.0/5

> **Amanda** | *25 July 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The efficiency it brought to my high-volume recruiting strategy. I also love their customer support, very responsive and easy to work with. I was able to work through 600 applicants in 2 weeks and meet a difficult goal of hiring 40+ people for hard-to-fill roles in 2 weeks because of their software's ability to summarize a candidate's interview simply and logically.
> 
> **Cons**: Lack of integrations. But, they are working on those. And they are open to suggestions\! They are currently working with me on building an API integration to my ATS so I can spend even less time clicking through links to get to my best candidate.
> 
> A great experience for a lot less than any other ASync interviewing platform on the market. I highly recommend this product to anyone wanting to streamline their recruiting process and improve their candidate experience.

### "The best one way video interview platform I've tried" — 5.0/5

> **Autumn** | *30 June 2025* | Recreational Facilities & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Truffle allows us to go through the "boring" part of the interview process on candidates ' own time which saves us tons of time as a small business. We are able to hear (and read\!\!) the entire answer set to the interview questions as well as an incredibly accurate AI summary which allowed us to keep everyone separate, which is so helpful when there is one hiring manager and 80+ candidates.
> 
> **Cons**: When we first used truffle, we didn't have a way to rate or add notes to the individual candidates pages. However, I believe that they have since added these features\!
> 
> Truffle completely changed how we screen candidates. We no longer waste time scheduling phone screens. Candidates answer asynchronously, and our managers can review responses on their own time. The AI-generated match analysis are surprisingly accurate, and the breakdown of strengths and weaknesses helps us move faster with better confidence. The shareable video links are a huge win for collaboration, especially when we want feedback from others on the team. It’s easy to use and genuinely saves us hours each week.

### "Best AI Interview Tool for Fast, Fair Candidate Screening" — 5.0/5

> **William** | *8 July 2025* | Staffing & Recruiting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Truffle’s AI one-way interview software dramatically reduced our time-to-hire. The AI-generated candidate summaries helped us screen applicants faster without sacrificing quality. One of the best features is how Truffle analyzes candidates, which helped us prioritize high-fit talent instantly. It’s the perfect one-way video interview platform for small teams hiring at scale.
> 
> **Cons**: While the core functionality is excellent, Truffle could benefit from more integrations with popular applicant tracking systems (ATS). We currently handle some steps manually to sync candidate data, but it’s a minor inconvenience compared to the time savings we gained.
> 
> Our overall experience with Truffle has been outstanding. It’s user-friendly, quick to implement, and delivers immediate value. For small and mid-sized businesses needing efficient candidate screening software, Truffle offers a powerful yet simple solution. Candidates complete interviews on their own time, and hiring managers receive actionable insights without extra effort. We’ve cut our screening time by over 70% while improving hire quality. Highly recommended for any team looking for an AI interview platform that actually works.

### "Truffle Makes Recorded Interview Easy with Time-Saving with AI Assessments" — 5.0/5

> **Aldila Nimas** | *19 January 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Having a recorded interview is one of the best methods in performing a selection, especially for me as an educator at which, sometimes, programs and events require teachers to choose the best candidates among students. Truffle provides the best, easy solution to it as it provides a practical way for us to do so, allowing us to personalise the questions equipped with the feature of AI to save the time.The automatic assessments it provides also enables teachers to save time in grading the students interviews (or even assignments) with an accurate feedback. The customer support it has is also one of the most satisfying aspects for us to use this website as it provides a quick, solutional response without complicated requirements to fulfil. Hence, it is safe to say that the integration of Truffle in educational purposes will bring valuable output for educators (and teachers) to implement it within the teaching learning process in a frequent usage.
> 
> **Cons**: The short period of time given for the trial might be one of the unfavourable aspects Truffle has. By reading the terms and conditions thoroughly and making a clear adjustment with the plan, this should not be as issue to deal with.
> 
> Truffle was the best solution we used to complete a selection process among the students to choose the best candidates for a certain program of ours. The limited time we had required us to conduct a recorded interview and Truffle was a one stop solution that, at first, planned to be used as a platform to record the video with the least possibility for the interviewees to conduct any cheating attempts. However, the extra features Truffle provides (such as providing detailed reviews and analysis of the answers) gave valuable benefits that gives us insight for the upcoming usage in the near future.
