Automated Interview Software for Fast Hiring

Q: What are the business benefits of one-way video interviews?

Teams typically cut screening time by 70% while doubling the number of applicants they can review. Because candidates interview asynchronously, you also shrink time-to-hire and reduce drop-off compared with traditional phone screens.

What is an automated interview?

Automated interviews replace the back-and-forth of scheduling with an always-open interview booth. You pre-record questions once; candidates record answers whenever they’re ready. Truffle’s AI then transcribes and analyzes every response against the criteria you set—so you can blitz through 100 applicants in the time it used to take for one phone screen.

Automated interviews vs. live interviews

Live interviews force candidates and hiring teams into a game of calendar Tetris; coordinating time zones, juggling availability, and often stretching the hiring timeline by days or weeks. Automated interview software eliminates that friction. Candidates record answers to structured questions on their own schedule, and your team reviews responses when it makes sense for them.

No back-and-forth emails. No rescheduling. Just high-signal answers delivered asynchronously and ready for review. This flexibility is a win for candidates, too. With automated interviews, they’re no longer judged by how well they perform on a 15-minute Zoom call squeezed between errands or shifts.

Instead, they can prepare, think through their responses, and showcase their true potential without the pressure of a live audience. It's a more inclusive, equitable experience that opens doors for working parents, night-shift workers, and neurodiverse applicants who thrive with structure and breathing room.

Frequently asked questions
about automated interviews

What is automated interview software?

Automated interview software replaces the back-and-forth of scheduling with an always-open, on-demand interview booth. You record the questions once; applicants record video or audio answers whenever it suits them. Truffle’s AI then transcribes and analyzes every response so you can build an instant, ranked shortlist.

How does Truffle’s automated interview platform work?

Instead of spending hours reviewing resumes or coordinating phone screens, teams can use automation to quickly identify strong candidates based on predefined criteria. It supports a more consistent and scalable process, reduces administrative bottlenecks, and can help accelerate time-to-hire—so businesses can spend more time with the right people, sooner.

What are the business benefits of one-way video interviews?

Teams typically cut screening time by 70 % while doubling the number of applicants they can review. Because candidates interview asynchronously, you also shrink time-to-hire and reduce drop-off compared with traditional phone screens.

Will candidates have to download an app?

No. Truffle is fully browser-based and mobile-responsive, so applicants just click the link and hit record.

Does automated interviewing hurt the candidate experience?

Done right, it improves it. Candidates choose the time that fits their life, get concise questions, and avoid the “application black hole” thanks to automatic status updates.

How accurate is Truffle’s AI scoring, and can I customise the criteria?

You define the must-have skills, behaviors, and culture adds. Truffle’s AI analyzes candidate responses based on this rubric and provides transparent summaries, so you stay in control and understand every match.

What roles are best suited to automated interview screening?

High-volume or fast-turnover positions—customer service, retail, healthcare, hospitality, sales, and campus recruiting—see the biggest lift, but the platform is flexible enough for technical, creative, and leadership roles as well.

Will automated interview software replace human recruiters?

No. It handles the repetitive, low-value tasks—scheduling, transcription, initial scoring—so recruiters can invest more energy in relationship-building and final-round interviews.
