Truffle Features
One Way Video And Audio Interviews
Truffle features one-way video and audio interviews that transcribe, summarize, and score candidate responses automatically. Users can watch concise 90-second Candidate Shorts instead of long phone screens, helping teams quickly evaluate communication, fit, and skills while saving significant time in high-volume hiring processes.
Talent Assessments
The platform offers talent assessments that evaluate skills and behaviors critical to each role. By focusing on measurable criteria rather than universal right answers, Truffle helps recruiters identify candidates who genuinely align with job requirements, reducing bias and ensuring shortlists are based on real capability and fit.
Resume Screening

The platform prioritizes candidates based on experience, qualifications, and must-have skills, allowing teams to focus review efforts on the most promising applicants and drastically reduce time spent manually sorting through resumes.
Candidate Shorts
The software generates Candidate Shorts, brief 30-second recaps of interviews. These summaries highlight key insights from video and audio responses, enabling hiring teams to quickly compare applicants, identify strengths and weaknesses, and make evidence-based decisions without spending hours reviewing full-length interviews.

“Automated scoring saves time”
Pros
Recording interviews is one of the best ways to run selection processes especially in my role as an educator, where we often need to pick top students. Here I find Truffle to be the most effective and simple tool for this. It gives a clear workflow for evaluations, lets me customize questions and includes AI features that save time. Also the automated scoring helps a lot when grading interviews or assignments and it provides accurate feedback. Customer support is also great as they respond quickly and solve issues without hassle. I believe adding it to our teaching and assessment activities would be very valuable and something educators could use regularly.
Cons
One issue I noticed was the relatively short time allotted for the trial which can be a downside of using it. If I take the time to read the terms and conditions carefully and then pick a plan that better fits my needs, that limitation usually doesn't become a real problem for me.

“Clean design boosts productivity”
Pros
What I like most is how user-friendly it is. Also the experience is always smooth and never glitchy. Plus it makes managing and finding information easy, with a clean design and helpful features that save time, improve workflows and boost productivity for both teams and individuals.
Cons
The only feature I'd love it to add is the ability to post job openings directly to multiple job boards. That would further speed up the hiring process and make the platform even more valuable for teams that handle recruitment by simplifying outreach and centralizing vacancy posting across sites.

“Focus only on candidate responses”
Pros
I used to rely on video interview software. It worked okay but I often felt our decisions were influenced by things that did not matter like how a candidate looked or where they were from. Those visual details seemed to bias our judgment which worried me. Video interviews were also more expensive and needed extra gear like cameras and mics which added unnecessary complexity. Switching to Truffle has made everything much simpler and the results have been great. It is a lot like being a judge on The Voice as you focus only on what the candidate says, not how they look. Also it is very easy to use and reasonably priced. Candidates also told me they found the process simple and appreciated not having to be on video. We plan to keep using it for all our recruiting, across different roles and teams.
Cons
To be honest I have no complaints at this time and only expect things to improve as new features are added. The founders really understand how to make technology work for small businesses and we truly appreciate that.
