Why teams switch

What you might be experiencing with TestGorilla

01

A test score tells you who can do the task, not who showed up

TestGorilla runs a strong skills-test library, and a score on the right test is real signal. But a test stops at capability. You still don't see how a candidate communicates, and resume context lives in another tool.

With Truffle

Truffle stacks three screening layers in one Position Link: resumes for credentials, one-way interviews for communication and presence, and Personality, Situational Judgment, and Environment Fit assessments for evidence beyond self-presentation. You see all three side by side in one ranked shortlist.

02

Annual-only pricing is a big commitment for a single signal

TestGorilla's paid plans are billed annually, starting around $1,620 a year, and one-way video interviews sit on the higher Plus tier. That is a year-long contract for a tool that covers one part of screening.

With Truffle

Truffle is $149 a month with a real monthly option and $99 a month on annual billing. Resume screening and one-way interviews are included from the entry plan, with unlimited positions and 150 candidates a month.

What Truffle does differently

Three screening layers, one candidate view

One workflow

Resumes, interviews, and assessments in one Position Link

Every candidate enters one workflow you design. Resumes get parsed against your criteria, one-way interview responses transcribe and score, and Personality, Situational Judgment, and Environment Fit assessments add evidence beyond self-presentation. Everything ranks into one shortlist with one match score.

  • Resume screening with qualification questions
  • One-way interviews with Candidate Shorts
  • Personality, SJT, and Environment Fit assessments
Self-serve

A monthly plan with unlimited positions

TestGorilla's paid plans run on an annual commitment. Truffle is one flat plan you can pay monthly, with unlimited positions and unlimited team members, so a busy month doesn't raise the bill. 150 candidates per month are included, with no per-seat charge for hiring managers and reviewers.

  • Monthly or annual, your choice
  • Unlimited positions and team members
  • Cancel any time
Transparent AI

AI surfaces. You decide

Match scores trace back to the criteria you set during intake, AI Summaries cite specific responses, and Candidate Shorts pick the three most-revealing 30-second moments and explain why. The AI is compressing the time between hundreds of applications and a real shortlist. It isn't making the call for you.

  • Match scores against your criteria
  • AI Summaries with cited responses
  • 30-second Candidate Shorts with reasoning
Honest fit
