Features built for how you actually hire
Truffle is different from other talent assessment software. Our AI actually analyzes responses, scores candidates against your requirements, and shows you who's worth talking to. You decide. AI helps.
AI analysis tailored to your role
Generic AI screening gives you generic results. Truffle's matching engine is trained on your specific job description, intake requirements, and even cultural cues you care about. We evaluate against 21 distinct criteria and choose the three most relevant for each question. The result: analysis that actually predict who'll succeed in this role, not just any role.
Candidate Shorts
Watching 20 minutes of video for every candidate isn't realistic. Candidate Shorts extract the three best moments from each interview and stitch them into an Instagram-style reel you can watch in 30 seconds. See communication style. Spot enthusiasm. Catch red flags. All without committing to a full review until you know it's worth your time.
Anti-gaming measures
Candidates are using AI to polish resumes and game screening calls. We know, we've seen it. Truffle fights back with configurable thinking time limits, disabled copy-paste during interviews, and analysis that flags suspiciously perfect answers. Be wary of scores above 90%; they're often AI-generated. Candidate Shorts let you quickly spot someone reading off their screen.
Custom questions with rubrics
Every team has questions they swear by. Add your own custom screening questions and Truffle automatically generates a scoring rubric on the back end. You'll see exactly what a strong response looks like versus a weak one, and how that question will be evaluated. No black boxes.
Works everywhere candidates are
Desktop. Mobile. Tablet. Chrome. Safari. Firefox. Edge. Truffle works wherever your candidates are. No app downloads. No compatibility headaches. Average completion time is 10 minutes, and for warmed candidates, completion rates hit 85-90%. The candidates who won't spend 10 minutes on your process probably weren't right anyway.
Team collaboration built in
Share candidates with hiring managers via password-protected links. Let them review without giving them admin access. Add collaborators to specific jobs. Leave notes that travel with the candidate. Everyone stays in sync without forwarding emails or scheduling alignment meetings.
Talent assessment software FAQ
What is candidate assessment software?
Candidate assessment software helps you evaluate job applicants beyond their resumes. Instead of guessing who's qualified based on bullet points, you collect structured responses—video, audio, or written—and score candidates against your actual job requirements. Modern assessment tools like Truffle add AI-powered scoring to surface your best candidates automatically.
How does AI candidate assessment work?
Candidates record video or audio responses to your assessment questions. Truffle's AI analyzes each response against 21 evaluation criteria and your specific job requirements. We generate match scores, candidate summaries, and detailed breakdowns showing exactly why someone scored the way they did. AI does the analysis. You make the decisions.
What about candidates using ChatGPT?
We've built defenses: copy-paste is disabled, you can set thinking time limits so they can't tab out to ChatGPT, and our scoring flags suspiciously high scores. Anything above 90% is often AI-generated. Candidate Shorts let you quickly spot someone reading off their screen. The cheaters usually reveal themselves.
Does Truffle integrate with my ATS?
Yes. Truffle integrates with major ATS platforms through Zapier and direct integrations. Typical flow: candidate applies in your ATS, automation sends them the Truffle assessment link, they complete it, score and link get pushed back to your ATS. Many teams use Truffle as the assessment layer and keep their ATS for everything else.
How much does candidate assessment software cost?
Truffle pricing is based on two things: active jobs and completed assessments. Monthly plans start at $99/month. Most teams start with a monthly plan to test it out—you can launch your first assessment in under 15 minutes. No long-term contracts required.
How is this different from personality tests or skills assessments?
Traditional assessments measure generic traits: personality type, cognitive ability, abstract problem-solving. Truffle measures fit for your specific role. Candidates answer questions about why they want this job, how they'd handle situations relevant to your work, and what experience they bring. You see them communicate. You hear their thinking. It's closer to an interview than a test.
Will candidates actually complete video assessments?
For candidates already engaged in your process, we see 85-90% completion rates. We recommend 4-6 questions with 2-minute response limits—about 10 minutes total. Candidates who won't invest 10 minutes in your assessment are telling you something about their interest level. The completion rate itself is a filter.
Does this replace phone screens?
For many teams, yes. Phone screens exist to answer questions you could get from a structured assessment: Can they communicate? Do they understand the role? Are they actually interested? Truffle answers those questions without scheduling. Some teams use Truffle to replace phone screens entirely. Others use it to decide who's worth a phone screen.
What about bias in AI assessments?
Truffle's AI evaluates what candidates say—the content of their answers—not how they look or sound. Scoring is based on job-relevant criteria you define. Every candidate answers the same questions under the same conditions. That consistency actually reduces bias compared to phone screens, where the Friday afternoon candidate gets a different experience than the Monday morning one.
How fast can I get started?
Most users build their first assessment in under 5 minutes. Enter your job description, pick questions (or add custom ones), configure settings, and you're live. Share the link wherever you source candidates. First completed assessments typically come in within hours.
