One-way video interview software

Interview candidates around‑the‑clock

When hundreds apply, you can't talk to everyone, and good people slip through. With Truffle candidates record short video responses to questions you set, and AI ranks everyone against your criteria, so you see the best first.

The old way

The way we hire hasn't caught up with the way candidates apply

Collect resumes. Review them. Call a few. Hope one works out. Doesn't sound too bad until you're on a phone interview with someone who lives three states away and can't remember your company's name.

Scheduling

Coordinating times is a pain

Phone interviews require more coordination than getting six friends to pick a restaurant.

Resumes

Resumes stretch the truth

Hired a detail-oriented team player with a growth mindset? Us too.

Candidates

Candidates forgot they applied

Recording a video takes effort. Mass applying with the click-of-button only requires functioning wifi.

Truffle vs. the alternatives

Comparing video interview tools? Let's make it easy.

There are a lot of great video interview software out there if budget is not a concern, you have all the time in the world for set up, and you want to sit through a 30-minute Powerpoint presentation.

Alternatives are expensive

7 day free trial, no credit card required. You can actually test out Truffle, and when you're ready you don't need the Brink's truck with plans starting at just $49.

Alternatives still make you watch everything

Watching 15 minutes of video footage? Might as well pick up the phone. Candidate Shorts, AI summaries, and scoring get you to a decision in seconds.

Alternatives only do one thing

Video interviews, assessments, and resume screening on one platform. Use any one on its own. Stack all three when you want the full picture.

FAQ

FAQs about one-way video interviews

What is one-way video interview software?

Instead of a live phone call, candidates record their answers on video whenever they want. You write the questions once and share one link. They record on their phone. You watch when you have time, and you can line answers up side by side. Truffle also does resume screening and skills tests, so you can use one, two, or all three.

How do candidates get the link?

However you send it. Post the link on a job board and they see it right after they apply. Or have your hiring tool text and email it when they reach a certain step. Either way, they tap the link and start recording.

Will candidates actually finish it?

Most do. A typical interview is 10 to 15 minutes, lets them redo an answer once, and sends a reminder if they forget. With reminders on, 60 to 80 out of 100 finish. With reminders off, a lot fewer do.

How long should it be?

Keep it short. 3 to 5 questions, about 10 to 15 minutes. Any shorter and you can't really compare people. Any longer than 20 minutes and a lot of candidates quit. A good mix: one easy warm-up, two about the job, and one "why do you want this role."

What device does the candidate need?

Just a phone, tablet, or computer with a web browser. No app to download. No account. No login. Most people record on the same phone they applied with, right where they are.

Can I make it look like my brand?

Yes. Add your logo, your colors, a welcome video, and a thank-you screen. You can even change the wording in the reminders. Candidates see your brand the whole way through, not Truffle's.

Can candidates redo an answer?

Yes, and you choose how many times: zero, one, or as many as they want. Most people pick one. A second try calms nerves, so more candidates finish. It's still fair, because every take has the same time limit.

Can I use it with job boards and my careers page?

Yes. The Position Link is just a normal web link. Paste it on LinkedIn, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, or your careers page. Put it in an email. Send it to a friend. It works the same everywhere.

How does the auto-invite work?

Connect Truffle to your hiring tool, like Ashby, Workable, or Indeed. When a candidate reaches the step you pick, Truffle texts and emails them the link on its own. When they finish, their scores and a short summary go straight back into your hiring tool.

How do I invite a lot of people at once?

Upload a list with names, emails, and phone numbers. Truffle texts and emails the link to everyone at once, with their name and your branding. It's built for busy times, like a big seasonal push or a campus drive.

How fast can I set one up?

About 3 minutes the first time. Paste the job post, tweak the questions Truffle suggests, add your branding, and share the link. The next one takes about a minute, because you can reuse your questions.

How is this different from a live video call?

A live call needs scheduling, takes one person at a time, and is hard to compare later. A one-way interview skips the scheduling, lets people record whenever, and lines everyone up side by side. Live calls are great for the final round. One-way is great for the step before that.

How do you stop cheating without spying?

A few simple ways. AI Check flags answers that look AI-written, so you can take a closer look. Questions get mixed up, so people can't share answers ahead of time. Each question has a time limit. We don't watch their screen, snap webcam photos, or track where they are. We keep it honest by design, not by spying.

What does Truffle cost?

Plans start at $49 a month. You get credits to spend across resume screening, skills tests, and video interviews, and unused credits roll over. Every feature is on every plan. There's a 7-day free trial with 30 credits and no credit card.
