/ how it works

Easy Apply broke the top of the funnel. One-way video interviews fix it.

Easy Apply changed everything. Candidates spray hundreds of applications without reading the job description, and AI polishes the rest. Your inbox is full. Your resumes look great. And you have no idea who actually cares about the role.

‍It creates real friction in the right place. In a world where applying takes five seconds, a candidate who spends ten minutes recording thoughtful answers is already signaling more intent than someone who sprayed out another resume.

‍It gives you signal resumes can't. A polished application can be AI-assisted. A one-way video interview shows how someone communicates, thinks, and shows up for the role.

How Truffle helps you go from invite to shortlist

Most one-way video interview software takes hours to configure. Truffle takes about three minutes.

Step 1 — Paste your job description. Truffle builds the interview.

Paste your JD and Truffle suggests tailored screening questions matched to role and seniority. Accept them, edit, or write your own. Set time limits, add your branding, and define what "great" looks like for this role.

One link works everywhere: email, job boards, ATS, text

Step 2 — A video interview experience candidates actually finish

Candidates click your link and start recording from any phone, tablet, or laptop. No app, no account, no friction. They see question count, time limits, and what to expect before they begin. That respect for their time keeps completion rates high even at scale.

Step 3 — AI surfaces the evidence. You make the call.

Every response is transcribed and scored against the rubric you defined during setup. Match scores show which criteria each candidate aligned with, where there are gaps, and why. Candidate Shorts highlight the moments most relevant to your review criteria, with reasoning and transcripts so you can jump into full context.

Step 4 — Structured decisions, not "what did you think of that candidate?"

Share any position with your hiring team. Everyone reviews independently with the same structured information and custom scorecards. Move Forward, Unsure, or Pass. Clear framework. Team consensus in one view.

Every score has a reason. Every reason you can see.

Every match score shows which of your criteria the candidate aligned with, where there were gaps, and what drove the analysis. You define the rubric during setup. AI measures against it consistently across every candidate.

Know when responses show patterns of AI assistance

AI-polished resumes got candidates in the door. AI Check helps you see who might still be using it once they're on camera. Truffle flags responses that show patterns of AI-generated language, not as an automatic disqualification, but as a context signal so you can ask better follow-up questions.

FAQs about one-way video interviews

What is a one-way video interview?

A one-way video interview (also called a pre-recorded or async interview) lets candidates record responses to your screening questions on their own schedule. Instead of coordinating live calls, you share a link and candidates complete the interview from any device. Recruiters then review recordings, AI summaries, and match scores at their own pace. One-way interviews replace the phone screen for early-stage candidate evaluation.

How do candidates complete a one-way video interview on Truffle?

Candidates receive a link via email, text, job board, or your careers page. They click through to see the interview instructions, then record responses from any modern browser on any device. No app download, no account creation, no login required. Most candidates complete the process in 10-15 minutes.

What's the difference between one-way and live video interviews?

In a live video interview, both the interviewer and candidate are present in real time, like a Zoom call. In a one-way interview, the candidate records responses asynchronously and the recruiter reviews them later. One-way interviews eliminate scheduling coordination, let candidates respond when they're at their best, and allow recruiters to review at their own pace. They're best suited for early-stage screening where you need to evaluate many candidates quickly.

Can candidates retake their video responses?

This is configurable per interview. You can allow candidates to re-record any response before submitting, or require first-take answers. Most teams allow retakes. It reduces anxiety, improves completion rates, and still gives you genuine signal because candidates are thinking through the question, not reading a script.

How is Truffle different from other one-way video interview tools?

Most video interview platforms collect recordings and leave you to watch every one. Truffle analyzes every response against your criteria and generates match scores, AI summaries, and 30-second Candidate Shorts. Magic Review lets you move through your entire pipeline with keyboard shortcuts. No other one-way video interview tool offers this combination of AI analysis, structured review, and speed.

Does Truffle's one-way video interview software work on mobile?

Yes. Candidates can record from any modern browser on any device: phone, tablet, or laptop. No app download required. The interface is optimized for mobile recording so candidates get a clean, simple experience regardless of device.

How long does it take to set up a video interview?

About three minutes. Paste your job description, accept or edit AI-suggested questions, add your branding, and share the link. No implementation project, no vendor onboarding, no IT involvement.
