About Truffle 
We built Truffle for the recruiters AI is leaving behind
Easy-apply and AI-generated resumes flooded every role with hundreds of candidates who all look the same on paper. Most tools answered by handing the decision to an algorithm. We don't think recruiters need a replacement for their judgment. They need the evidence to use it faster.
The story
Why Truffle exists
Sean Griffith spent years inside high-volume hiring at SimpleTexting. He saw the same pattern everywhere. Recruiters drowning in applications. Phone screens that revealed less every quarter. AI tools promising to replace the part of the job recruiters actually liked.
- 01
The signals broke
Resumes got AI-polished. Cover letters got AI-written. Even take-home assessments got fed to ChatGPT. Every traditional screening method got easier to game in two years.
- 02
The volume got worse
Recruiters used to be able to muscle through application volume. Easy-apply changed that. Hiring teams got smaller. The old workflow stopped working and nothing emerged to replace it.
- 03
The industry got it wrong
Every competitor decided the answer was an algorithm that picks for you. Recruiters told us they don't trust that, and they shouldn't. Their value is judgment.
- 04
We built a different answer
Truffle gives recruiters three layers of evidence in one workflow. Resume screening, one-way video interviews, and talent assessments. AI handles the busywork. Humans make the call.
Principles
How we build, decide, and show up
Four things we hold ourselves to. Every product decision and customer conversation runs through them.
Speed is the product
Recruiters don't have hours. We measure success in seconds saved per candidate review, not features shipped per quarter.
Say the hard thing
When a customer's process is broken, we say so. When AI in hiring is overhyped, we say so. Calm, direct, no corporate hedge.
Be intentional
We're remote-first, self-funded, and slow to add complexity. Every feature has to earn its place in a recruiter's day.
The team
Small team, focused on one thing
Truffle is led by Sean Griffith, formerly at SimpleTexting, where he watched recruiting break under volume firsthand. The team is remote, self-funded, and accountable to customers, not to investors with a five-year clock.
