Automated interview software that screens 100 candidates in the time it takes you to screen 1

Automated interview software handles candidate screening without requiring a recruiter to be present. Candidates record video responses to your questions on their own time, and AI evaluates their answers against your job requirements. Instead of scheduling and conducting dozens of phone screens, you get a ranked shortlist of candidates worth meeting.

For first-round screening, yes. Phone screens require both parties to be available at the same time, which creates scheduling overhead that adds days to your hiring process. Automated interviews eliminate that friction entirely. You also get consistent evaluation (same questions, same criteria) and documentation (recordings and transcripts) that phone screens don't provide.

Most candidates prefer them to traditional phone screens. They can complete the interview on their own schedule—evenings, weekends, lunch breaks—without having to take time off work or find a quiet place during business hours. Truffle customers typically see 85-90% completion rates for engaged candidates.

Automated interviews work especially well for high-volume roles (customer service, sales, entry-level), positions where communication skills matter (remote roles, client-facing positions), and any role where you're screening more than a handful of candidates. Some teams use them for every role; others reserve them for positions with 10+ applicants.

You create an interview with your screening questions, share a link with candidates, and they record responses on their own schedule. Truffle's AI then transcribes each response, evaluates it against your job description and scoring criteria, and generates a match %. Candidates automatically rank from best to worst fit, and you can review the top matches in minutes.

Most recruiters spend 75% of their time on top-of-funnel screening: Reviewing resumes, scheduling calls, conducting phone screens, and following up. Automated interviews can reduce that by 75% or more. Instead of spending 5+ hours phone screening 10 candidates, you can review 10 candidates in 30 minutes using AI scores and Candidate Shorts.

No—it frees recruiters to do higher-value work. Instead of spending hours on administrative screening, recruiters can focus on sourcing, building relationships, selling candidates on the opportunity, and closing. AI handles the repetitive evaluation work; humans make the final decisions and do the work that requires human judgment.

With Truffle, you can set up your first automated interview in under 10 minutes. Paste your job description, select your screening questions (or let AI suggest them), customize with your branding, and share the link. No enterprise onboarding, no implementation project, no waiting.
