The campus hiring problem

Campus hiring's bottleneck isn't volume. It's evidence before the superday.

A new-grad SWE post on Handshake can pull 2,000 to 3,000 applications in a season. Analyst posts at recognizable brands hit 5,000. Most look alike on paper. Same target schools, same 3.7 GPAs, same internship logos. Your campus team can't take 200 phone screens while flying to 15 career fairs in six weeks.

How it works for campus

Campus-ready screening, live in 10 minutes per position

One screening workflow per position. Same link for Handshake applicants, career-fair leads, and info-session signups. Your campus team reviews on their phone between flights.

Truffle Position Link setup for a campus role with branded candidate experience

Step 1 · Distribution

Post the link to Handshake, QR it at the career fair, text it to an info-session lead

Truffle creates one Position Link per role. Drop it on Handshake, Symplicity, or 12twenty. Print a QR code on your career-fair flyer. Text it from the booth or after a coffee chat. Same screening experience for every channel.

Mobile candidate experience for a campus one-way video interview

Step 2 · One-way video interview

Three to five behavioral questions. Five minutes. See who can pass a superday round before the flight gets booked.

AI suggests three to five behavioral or motivational questions from your job description. Short enough for a senior to film between classes, long enough to surface structured thinking, motivation fit, and coachability. Qualification Questions capture work authorization, graduation date, and start date before recording.

Step 3 · Review

Replace the first-round phone-screen scramble with 30-second Candidate Shorts

AI compiles a 30-second Candidate Short for every completed candidate, writes a one-paragraph AI Summary, and ranks against your rubric with a match score. Your campus recruiter or hiring manager reviews between info sessions or in the cab to the next career fair. The superday, the coffee chat, and the info session still happen.

Step 4 · Multi-school

Every school, every program track, one review queue, same rubric

A campus program lead assigns campus captains, school leads, or hiring managers as Reviewers on a single new-grad or intern position. Share shortlists via secure link with school leads who don't have Truffle accounts. Rotational programs run the same rails across finance, operations, strategy, and marketing tracks.

One job, done well

Truffle is the screening layer before the superday. Sourcing, events, and work-authorization checks stay in the tools you already run.

What Truffle is

The screening layer before the superday. AI surfaces Candidate Shorts, match scores, and one-paragraph summaries. Your campus team decides who flies out for the superday.

What Truffle isn't

A Handshake, Symplicity, or 12twenty replacement. Work-authorization or OPT/CPT tracking (Tracker I-9, Checkr, WorkBright). Education verification (Checkr, Accurate, Sterling). Coding tests (HackerRank, CodeSignal, Karat). Event management (Yello, Gem, Rakuna). An ATS of record (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby).

FAQ

FAQs about hiring for campus

Will campus candidates actually complete a one-way video interview?

Yes, and at higher rates than any other segment. Most campus positions on Truffle run three to five questions and take five to seven minutes on a phone. Candidates see the question count and time limits before they record. Gen Z applicants are the most video-native cohort Truffle serves. A new-grad who films five minutes is more motivated than one who mass-applied through Handshake.
How fast can I set up an analyst or intern position?

About 10 minutes. Paste the job description, accept the AI-suggested behavioral questions, add your branding, and share the Position Link. No implementation project, no vendor onboarding, no IT involvement. You can have an open analyst or SWE intern position live before your next career-fair flight.
Does Truffle work across multiple schools or program tracks?

Yes. A campus program lead sets up one position and assigns campus captains, school leads, or hiring managers as Reviewers, each reviewing their own candidates independently. Share shortlists via secure link with school leads who don't have Truffle accounts. Every school's candidates are evaluated against the same operator-defined rubric, and you see every rating in one team scorecard.
Can I still run info sessions, coffee chats, and the superday?

That's the point. Truffle replaces the first-round phone screen, not the superday, the coffee chat, or the info session. The in-person conversations still happen. The difference is your campus team walks into them with a Candidate Short, an AI Summary, and a match score, so they know what to ask.
Does Truffle integrate with Handshake, Workday, or Greenhouse?

Zapier connects Truffle to Handshake, Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, HackerRank, CodeSignal, and 7,000 other apps. Native integrations with Ashby, Breezy HR, and Indeed sync candidate data directly. You can also use Truffle as a standalone screening layer if your campus stack is a careers page and a Handshake posting.
How does Truffle handle international students on OPT or CPT?

Truffle captures work-authorization status via Qualification Questions before anyone records, without auto-rejecting anyone. The campus team sees the flag alongside the Candidate Short and match score. Truffle does not verify OPT, CPT, or STEM OPT status. Tracker I-9, Checkr, and WorkBright handle verification downstream, after your campus team has decided who to advance.
What's the price for a campus program?

Self-Serve is $149 per month, or $99 per month on the annual plan. Unlimited team seats, unlimited positions, 7-day free trial, no credit card. Custom plans are available for larger programs and enterprise campus teams.
Does Truffle replace coding tests like HackerRank or CodeSignal?

No. Truffle is the screening layer before the technical round. HackerRank, CodeSignal, and Karat handle coding depth. Truffle surfaces communication, structured thinking, and coachability in video responses, then hands the strongest candidates to your technical pipeline.
