Candidate assessment software

Candidate assessment software for real-world hiring

Hiring is never just about filling seats. It is about finding people whose skills, mindset, and energy lift the whole team. Truffle screens every applicant with structured video interviews and turns responses into clear, job-ready insights—so you choose with confidence, not guesswork.

Applications can hide skill. Truffle’s candidate assessment software finds it.

Most candidate assessment software relies on generic multiple-choice tests or game-style exercises (think HireVue-style games). They feel impersonal, frustrate candidates, and often fail to predict real performance.

Truffle takes a different approach. Instead of static quizzes, our automated video interview platform asks role-specific questions that reflect actual work. Candidates show — not just tell — how they think, solve problems, and communicate.AI-powered assessment highlights soft skills, culture fit, and red flags within minutes. Hiring managers get instant insights and structured summaries instead of sifting through raw recordings.

With Truffle, you replace outdated testing with candidate assessment software designed for modern hiring.

Talent assessment built for roles where skill matters most

Built for roles where skill matters most. Live interviews lock everyone into calendar Tetris. Automated, one-way assessments break that gridlock.

Candidates record structured answers on their schedule; hiring teams review on theirs.

No email ping-pong, no rescheduling; just high-signal responses ready for instant scoring. It’s fairer, too: working parents, night-shift staff, and neurodiverse talent can showcase their best work without the pressure of a live Zoom call.

Truffle's candidate assessment software makes the biggest impact with these use cases.
