The brokerage hiring problem

You post a transaction coordinator role and the resumes pile up overnight

Your office runs on a handful of people who don't miss a deadline. There's no recruiter to hand the pile to, and a resume can't show who's actually detail-oriented under a closing date.

The pile

You post a role and the resumes pile up overnight

Easy-apply means dozens of people apply to a TC or admin role, most without real contract-to-close or MLS experience. You're the one opening the pile between showings and after your last closing.

Compliance detail

A resume can't show who catches a deal about to blow up

Anyone can list 'detail-oriented' or 'transaction coordination experience.' You won't know how someone actually handles a deadline, a missing disclosure, or a stressed agent until they're already on your desk.

No recruiter, small office

You're running the brokerage, not a hiring department

On a 10 to 60 agent office, one wrong admin hire means missed paperwork and re-work you catch too late. There's no recruiter to hand this to and no budget for an agency, and it's the same problem when you're sorting through inbound agent interest.

How it works

Three screening methods. One workflow. You design the process.

Screen for the deadline discipline and compliance detail a TC or admin role needs, see how a candidate actually communicates, and add an assessment when you want more to go on. You choose what applies per role.

Why brokerages switch to Truffle

What no job board or spreadsheet does for you

Most brokerages are stuck between reading every resume themselves and an agency fee that costs more than the role pays. Here's what changes with a screening layer built for this.

Reading every resume yourself, after your last showing

Truffle reads and ranks every resume against the deadline discipline, compliance detail, and experience you set for the role. You open a shortlist, not a folder of thirty unsorted applications.

An agency fee that costs more than the role pays

A staffing agency fee can run a fifth of the role's salary, and most agencies don't want a single TC or admin req. Truffle is self-serve from $49/month, no contract, no sales call.

A job board or ATS that stores applications but doesn't screen them

A job board collects resumes. An ATS files them. Neither tells you who's worth a call. Truffle scores every candidate against your criteria, with the reasoning behind every score.

One hour of best behavior tells you less than you think

A resume and a single interview are easy to get wrong on a small team. Stack a one-way interview and an assessment on top of the resume read, and the evidence compounds before you ever schedule an in-person meeting.

FAQ

Recruiting software for real estate agencies, answered

What is recruiting software for real estate agencies?

It's software that reads and ranks your candidates for you, so you're not the one opening every resume between closings. Truffle combines resume screening, one-way video interviews, and talent assessments in one workflow, built for a broker-owner or office manager hiring without a recruiter.

How does Truffle help me hire without a recruiter at my brokerage?

You set the criteria for the role once, transaction deadlines met, MLS or compliance software experience, client-facing tone, and Truffle scores every candidate against it. You get a ranked shortlist with the reasoning attached instead of a folder of resumes to open one by one.

Can I use Truffle to screen prospective agents, not just admin hires?

You can use it for a first read on inbound agent interest, but be clear-eyed about the fit. Agents usually join as independent contractors on a split, recruited on relationship and production potential, not screened like a W-2 hire. Truffle gives you a fast, structured way to see who's worth a conversation before you spend your time on it, it doesn't replace the recruiting conversation itself.

Can I screen for transaction coordinator or compliance experience specifically?

Yes. Qualification Questions ask upfront about MLS familiarity, transaction management software, and years handling contract-to-close, and Resume review reads work history against your role. Nothing is auto-rejected, so a candidate close to your bar still shows up for you to review.

Will candidates for a TC or admin role actually complete a one-way video interview?

Most do when the interview is short. A well-configured Truffle interview runs about 10 minutes, and Candidate Reminders at 24 and 72 hours lift completion. For a thin pool, like an experienced transaction coordinator in your market, you can skip video and screen on resumes and an assessment instead.

How does AI score candidates for a brokerage role?

You define what matters for the role at intake: deadline handling, attention to detail, client communication, whatever you'd ask a recruiter to look for. AI analyzes each resume and response against that and produces a match score with the reasoning shown. AI surfaces the evidence. You decide who moves forward.

What roles can I screen with Truffle at my agency?

Transaction coordinators, listing and admin coordinators, marketing coordinators, and front-desk or client care staff. For agent recruiting, it's a first-look filter on inbound interest, not a full screen. Any role you fill more than once a year is a good fit for a repeatable process.

Can a talent assessment tell me if someone will hit closing deadlines?

An assessment can't guarantee that, and Truffle won't claim it does. A Situational Judgment assessment shows how a candidate says they'd handle a deal that's about to blow up on a deadline, which gives you something concrete to ask about in the interview instead of guessing from a resume.

Does Truffle replace meeting a candidate in person before an offer?

No. Most brokerages still want a real conversation before an offer, for a TC hire or a new agent, and that's a good instinct. Truffle gets you to the few worth that conversation faster, with a resume read, a recorded response, and an assessment already in hand.

How is this different from just posting on Indeed and reading resumes myself?

Indeed collects applications. It doesn't screen them. Truffle reads every resume against your role, flags who meets your must-haves, and ranks the pool, so you open a shortlist instead of thirty unsorted resumes after your last showing.

Do I need a full ATS to use Truffle at a small agency?

No. Most agencies this size don't have one and don't need one for this. Share your Position Link on your job boards or careers page, and Truffle handles the screening layer on its own. If you add an ATS later, Truffle connects through Zapier or the API.

How fast can I get a role live?

Usually under 15 minutes from a job description. Paste it in, accept or edit the AI-suggested questions, add your brokerage's branding, and share the link.

Can I use resume screening on its own, without video interviews or assessments?

Yes. Each method stands alone and you choose what applies per role. Many brokerages start with resume screening for TC and admin roles and add a one-way interview for anything client-facing.

What does Truffle cost for a small brokerage?

Plans start at $49/month (Starter), credit-based: a resume screened is 1 credit, an assessed candidate is 2, a completed one-way interview is 5, all from one shared monthly pool. Every feature is on every plan and credits roll over. See <a href="/pricing">pricing</a> for exact plans and roughly how many roles each covers. 7-day free trial, 30 credits, no card.
