Trusted by owners and hiring teams at companies like these
Hireflix records a clean one-way video and hands the recording to your team to rate. Truffle adds resume screening and assessments in the same Position Link, and scores all three against your criteria, so the ranking is already done when you open the list.
Hireflix has no resume layer at all, so qualifying candidates happens somewhere else in your process, if it happens before the interview. Truffle parses every resume against your intake criteria and applies qualification questions first, so the video queue only holds candidates who already clear the bar.
Qualified · meets 4 of 4 must-havesHireflix gives you a clean recording and a transcript. Nothing on the platform ranks the responses, so with 150 completed interviews your team is still watching and rating each one by hand. Truffle's AI Match scores every response against your criteria, AI Summaries cite the lines that drove the score, and Candidate Shorts surface the three most-revealing 30 seconds.
Candidate Short · 30 sec · citedHireflix is built around the recording, with no assessment layer to add judgment or temperament signal on top of it. Truffle includes Personality (IPIP Big Five), Situational Judgment, and Environment Fit assessments on every plan, a signal a video alone can't show.

AI Summary
Ran closing shifts solo at a 12-person hardware store for two years, including two register audits that came up clean after a prior employee's shortages. Described exactly how he catches a till discrepancy before it turns into a pattern. Personality profile leans methodical and unflustered.

Walk us through how you'd handle a cash drawer that's short two days in a row.
“One short day is a mistake. Two in a row from the same drawer is a pattern, so I'd pull that person's till separately for a week before assuming anything. Usually it's a training gap, not dishonesty, and treating it like the second is how you lose a decent employee over a fixable habit.”
AI Summary
Coming from a coffee shop shift lead role rather than big-box retail, so the resume undersells the actual scope of what she's managed. Her answer on a holiday-rush staffing gap was the most concrete in the pool. Assessment leans toward bringing people along rather than solving things solo.

Two people call out on your busiest day of the month. What do you actually do?
“I text the part-timers who said they wanted more hours before I panic, not after. Usually one says yes. If nobody does, I run the floor short a person myself rather than let the line back up, and I say out loud that it's a rough day so the team isn't left guessing.”
AI Summary
Resume and interview both sit in the middle of the pool, nothing wrong, nothing that jumps out either. The assessment is where he separates from the group, particularly on holding a decision once a customer or manager pushes back on it.

Describe a policy you'd enforce even if it made someone unhappy in the moment.
“A return without a receipt past the window. I'd offer store credit instead of cash, explain why once, and hold the line even if they push. Bending it for one person means bending it for the next twenty.”
AI Summary
No retail management on the resume at all, coming from a serving job instead. The interview carries this file: comfortable on camera, quick with examples, clearly used to a fast floor. The assessment is the softest part, leaning reactive when more than one urgent request lands at once.

What part of leading a shift are you most looking forward to?
“Not having to ask permission to fix something small in the moment. I waited tables for three years and always knew what I'd do differently if I ran the floor. Now I get to.”
Hireflix runs one-way video and nothing else, so a role that needs a resume filter or a judgment check needs a second, unconnected tool. Truffle's Position Link runs qualification questions, one-way interviews, and Personality, Situational Judgment, and Environment Fit assessments together, so every candidate is evaluated the same way and ranks into one shortlist.
Hireflix's price doubles once your team crosses 50 employees, and climbs again on the custom tier above that. Truffle charges by credits, not headcount: unlimited positions and unlimited team members on every plan, with a shared credit pool that rolls over instead of a size-based increase.
A transcript tells you what someone said. It doesn't tell you how they rank against your role. Truffle's AI Match scores every response against your intake criteria, AI Summaries cite the exact lines behind the score, and Candidate Shorts compile the three most-revealing 30-second moments so you review less and still know more.
Truffle's sweet spot
Owner-operators (a founder, COO, GM, or franchisee) at a small business, roughly 5 to 100 people, with no in-house recruiter, plus small owner-run staffing and recruiting agencies. You hire the same handful of roles over and over, 15 to 30 open at a time, year-round, on roles where a resume and a recording alone don't tell you who's real.
Where they may be stronger
Hireflix is a focused, well-reviewed one-way video tool, and if all you want is clean recordings with no resume or assessment layer, it does that cleanly. If your team has already grown past 50 employees and the higher tier doesn't bother you, or you specifically need native Ashby integration, Hireflix is worth the trial.
Data import
Most teams point their next role at a Truffle Position Link and let the Hireflix pipeline finish on its own. If you're connected to Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, or BambooHR, the same ATS connects to Truffle through native integrations or Zapier. CSV bulk invite handles any Hireflix candidates worth contacting again.

Truffle starts from $49/month, flat, regardless of team size. Hireflix prices by headcount: $75/month billed annually under 50 employees, $150/month annually for 50 to 250 employees, and custom pricing above that. For a small team, Truffle's entry price is lower and stays flat as you grow within the small business range.
No. Hireflix records and transcribes one-way interviews, and your team rates them by hand. Truffle's AI Match scores every candidate against the criteria you set at intake, AI Summaries cite the specific responses behind the score, and Candidate Shorts surface the three most-revealing 30-second moments so you spend less time watching full recordings.
Yes. Truffle parses every resume against the criteria you defined at intake and applies qualification questions to gate the funnel before anyone records a video. Hireflix has no resume layer, so qualifying candidates happens somewhere else in your process, if it happens before the interview at all.
Truffle doesn't pull data directly out of Hireflix. The cleanest migration is to point your next open role at a Truffle Position Link and let your existing Hireflix pipeline finish on its own. If you're on Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, or BambooHR, native integrations or Zapier cover the ATS handoff. Most teams are fully on Truffle within two to three weeks.
That's exactly where Hireflix's price doubles, from $75/month to $150/month annually. Truffle stays flat, from $49/month, and adds resume screening and assessments alongside the interview. If you're specifically attached to Hireflix's native Ashby integration, that's a real reason to stay. Otherwise the math favors switching.
Yes. Unlimited positions and unlimited team members on every plan, whether you're 5 people or 95. You spend one shared pool of credits (resume = 1, interview = 5) across all three screening methods, and unused credits roll over on Core and up.
Truffle helps us move through high-volume intern hiring, with clear visibility into each student's fit.
