Recruitment video software loved by hundreds of great companies
The video recruitment problem
Live video calls don't scale. You book 30-minute Zooms with fifteen candidates and burn a week on scheduling. Half cancel. The ones who show tell you in five minutes what you could've seen in a one-way recording.
Phone screens don't scale either. You repeat the same five questions thirty times a day, take notes you can't compare, and finish the day no closer to a shortlist than when you started.
Video screening software was supposed to fix this. Most of it just moves the problem. Candidates record. Recordings pile up. You're now watching ten hours of footage to find the three people worth a live conversation. The recruitment video tools that actually help are the ones that review the recordings with you.
How it works
A full recruitment video interview workflow, live in about three minutes.
Paste your JD and Truffle suggests tailored screening questions matched to the role and seniority. Accept them, edit, or write your own. Set time limits, add your branding, and define what "great" looks like so AI Match scores every candidate against your criteria.
Share one link by text, email, job post, or QR code. Candidates click, read the instructions, and record from any modern browser on phone, tablet, or laptop. Most finish in 10 to 15 minutes. Respect for their time keeps completion rates high even at volume.
Every response is transcribed and scored against the rubric you defined during setup. Match scores show which criteria each candidate aligned with, where there are gaps, and why. AI Summaries give you the key takeaways before you press play. Candidate Shorts compress every interview into a 30-second highlight reel with reasoning for each clip.
Share any position with your hiring team. Everyone reviews independently with the same structured information and custom scorecards. Move Forward, Unsure, or Pass. The scorecard view aggregates ratings so you see team consensus at a glance. Unlimited team members, no per-seat pricing.
Why teams switch to Truffle
Every recruitment video interview software lets candidates record and lets you watch. Here's what changes when the platform actually helps you review.
Every match score shows which of your criteria the candidate aligned with, where there were gaps, and what drove the analysis. You define the rubric during setup. AI measures against it consistently across every candidate. Structured evidence for faster human decisions, not a black-box recommendation.
Candidate Shorts compress every interview into a 30-second highlight reel. AI surfaces the moments most relevant to your criteria, with reasoning and timestamped transcripts so you can jump into full context. Magic Review lets you move through candidates with keyboard shortcuts. Advance, hold, or pass. Next candidate. Full recordings always one click away.
AI-polished resumes got candidates in the door. AI Check helps you see who might still be using it once they're on camera. Truffle flags responses that show patterns of AI-generated language, not as an automatic disqualification, but as a context signal so you can ask better follow-up questions. A transparency layer most video recruitment platforms don't offer.

Recruitment video software lets candidates record answers to your screening questions on their own time, then gives your team a structured way to review them. The category covers two formats: live video interviews (like Zoom) and one-way video interviews where candidates record ahead of time. Truffle focuses on one-way video because it replaces phone screens without requiring your calendar, and it pairs every recording with AI-generated match scores, summaries, and 30-second Candidate Shorts so you can review a full pipeline in minutes.
In live video interviews, both the interviewer and candidate are on a call in real time. In one-way video interviews, the candidate records responses asynchronously and you review them later. One-way removes scheduling coordination, lets candidates respond when they're at their best, and frees your team to review at their own pace. Most teams use one-way video for early-stage screening and reserve live time for finalists. Truffle's recruitment video interview software is built around this pattern.
Most video recruitment platforms stop at "candidates record, you watch." Truffle analyzes every response against your criteria and generates match scores with transparent reasoning, AI Summaries, and 30-second Candidate Shorts. Magic Review lets you move through your pipeline with keyboard shortcuts. AI Check flags AI-assisted responses as a context signal. No other recruitment video software combines this analysis, structured review, and speed at $149 per month.
About three minutes. Paste your job description, accept or edit AI-suggested questions, add your branding, and share the link. No implementation project, no vendor onboarding, no IT involvement. Most teams have their first candidates recording inside the first afternoon.
Yes. Candidates can record from any modern browser on any device: phone, tablet, or laptop. No app download required. The interface is optimized for mobile so candidates get a clean, simple experience regardless of device. That matters at volume, where most applicants open your link on a phone first.
Yes. One-way video interviews work as a standalone screening method, and most teams start there. You can add talent assessments or resume screening to the same workflow later if you want deeper signal, but they're entirely optional. Each screening method is powerful on its own.
Share one link on Indeed, LinkedIn, your careers page, or by text. Every applicant gets the same structured experience. Automated reminders lift completion rates. AI Match ranks every completed interview against your criteria so you're reviewing the strongest matches first. Magic Review keyboard shortcuts move a full pipeline in about a phone-screen's worth of time.
Truffle is $149 per month on the monthly plan or $99 per month with annual billing. That includes unlimited positions, unlimited team members, AI Summaries, match scores, Candidate Shorts, talent assessments, and resume screening. See full pricing. 7-day free trial, no credit card.
