Automated phone interview software that does more than just record

Automated phone interview software replaces live phone screens with async audio recordings. Candidates receive a link, record answers to your screening questions on their own time, and you review the responses when it works for you. The best automated phone interview tools go beyond just recording—they transcribe responses, generate summaries, and surface insights so you can review candidates in seconds instead of listening to full recordings.

With basic recording tools, yes—and that's the problem. If you have to listen to every 10-minute recording, you haven't saved time. Truffle transcribes every response and generates AI summaries, so you can skim the transcript and read the key insights in 30 seconds. Listen only when you want to hear someone's actual voice and delivery.

Most candidates prefer them to scheduling a live call. They can complete the interview on their own time—during lunch, after work, on weekends—without having to sneak away from their current job. Truffle works on any phone, any browser, with no app to download, so candidates can finish in minutes from wherever they are.

With Truffle, you share a link—not audio files. Hiring managers can review transcripts, read AI summaries, and listen to recordings if they want, all in one place. No forwarding email attachments, no file management, no debrief calls explaining what you heard.

Live phone screens require both you and the candidate to be available at the same time, which creates scheduling overhead. Automated phone interviews are async—candidates record on their schedule, you review on yours. You also get consistent questions for every candidate, full transcripts instead of notes, and the ability to screen 10 candidates in the time one live call would take.

Yes. Truffle supports both audio and video interviews. Audio-only works well for roles where video feels like overkill—warehouse positions, phone-based customer service, or any role where you just need to hear how someone communicates. Same transcription, same AI insights, lower barrier for candidates.

Automated phone interviews work especially well for high-volume roles (customer service, sales, warehouse, retail), positions where phone communication matters, and any role where you're getting more applicants than you can reasonably call. If you're screening 20+ candidates for a role, automation saves significant time.

With Truffle, setup takes about 10 minutes. Paste your job description, choose your screening questions (or use AI-suggested questions), select audio or video format, and share the link. Candidates can start recording immediately. No enterprise implementation, no training required.
