Common questions about Truffle's retail recruiting software

Will retail candidates actually complete a video interview?

Yes—85% of candidates complete Truffle interviews, which is higher than phone screen show rates for most retail roles. The key is removing friction: no app download, no account creation, mobile-optimized, and candidates complete on their own schedule. Gen Z candidates especially prefer this over scheduling a phone call with a stranger.

How do I assess customer service skills through video?

Better than you can on a phone screen, honestly. You see how candidates present themselves, their energy level, communication style, and how they think through customer scenarios. Truffle's AI helps you review responses for customer orientation, problem-solving, and communication skills—surfacing candidates based on these qualities, not just polish.

How fast can I actually fill a position with this?

Most retail teams cut their time-to-hire significantly. Here's why: candidates complete interviews within 24 hours of receiving the link, you review 30-second Candidate Shorts instead of 15-minute phone screens, and AI analysis helps you prioritize which candidates to talk to first. We've had customers go from job post to offer in under a week.

Can I screen for availability before watching videos?

Absolutely. You can add qualification questions at the start of the interview—shift availability, transportation, start date, certifications. Candidates answer these before recording video responses, and you can filter results to only review candidates who meet your scheduling requirements. No more watching a great interview only to find out they can't work weekends.

What if candidates aren't comfortable on camera?

Two things: First, you can offer audio-only interviews if video feels like a barrier for your candidate pool. Second, we give candidates thinking time before each question and allow retakes, so they're not caught off guard. That said, if a role requires customer interaction, some comfort with communication is part of the job—and you'll see that clearly in responses.

Can store managers use this without HR support?

Store managers can create an interview in 5 minutes, share a link with applicants, and review candidates from their phone between other responsibilities. No training required, no complex setup. If you can post on Indeed, you can use Truffle.
