How the wedge works

Three layers of evidence. One ranked shortlist.

Metaview captures what happens inside a live interview. Truffle decides who's worth scheduling one. Resume screening, one-way async interviews, and talent assessments, all in one Position Link, so you arrive at the live stage already knowing who your best candidates are.

Layer 01

Resume screening before the calendar opens

Metaview joins live calls to take notes. It doesn't screen the 200 applications that arrived before anyone is on a call. Truffle parses every resume against your intake criteria, applies qualification questions, and gets you a live screening link in under 10 minutes. By the time you're scheduling live interviews, you've already cut the pool from 200 to the 10 worth your time.

Qualified · meets 4 of 4 must-haves
Layer 02

One-way interviews without adding calendar time

Live interviews take time: scheduling, showing up, taking notes, writing up. Truffle's one-way interviews let candidates record responses on their own time. AI Match scores each response against your criteria, AI Summaries cite specific answers, and Candidate Shorts pick the three most-revealing 30-second moments. You review who's real before a single calendar invite goes out.

Candidate Short · 30 sec · cited
Layer 03

Assessments that add signal before live time

Metaview's interview notes tell you what happened during a live interview. Truffle's Personality, Situational Judgment, and Environment Fit assessments tell you how a candidate approaches work before you ever talk to them. That context sharpens your live interview questions and lets you use the time on what assessments and async video can't tell you.

Pricing transparency

Two tools. Different jobs. Different price points.

Metaview lists prices for its sourcing tiers. Truffle lists $149 on the page for all three screening layers. If you need pre-interview screening depth (resume parsing, one-way video, and assessments), Truffle is purpose-built for that workflow at a published price.

Where they fit differently

What you might be experiencing with Metaview

01

You need screening, not just notes from screening

Metaview's interview notes product is built for the live interview stage. It joins your Zoom or Teams call, captures what's said, and writes it up. That's useful once you're already talking to candidates.

With Truffle

If your problem is earlier, deciding which of 150 applicants is worth a live conversation, that's a different job. Truffle's Position Link combines resume screening, one-way video, and assessments so you arrive at the live stage with a shortlist, not a pile.

02

One-way video gives you more signal before the calendar opens

Metaview captures what a candidate says in a live interview. Truffle captures how they communicate on camera before you schedule one. Candidates record async responses to your questions, on their own time, and AI surfaces the moments worth watching.

With Truffle

That means fewer first-round live interviews spent on candidates who weren't ready for them. The 30-second Candidate Shorts, cited AI Summaries, and match scores let you make that call in minutes, not meetings.

What Truffle does differently

Three screening layers, one candidate view

Pre-interview

Resumes, interviews, and assessments before the first live call

Every candidate enters one workflow you design. Resumes get parsed against your intake criteria, one-way interview responses transcribe and score, and Personality, SJT, and Environment Fit assessments add evidence beyond self-presentation. Everything ranks into one shortlist with one match score, before you spend a minute on live scheduling.

  • Resume screening with qualification questions
  • One-way interviews with Candidate Shorts
  • Personality, SJT, and Environment Fit assessments

Transparent AI

AI surfaces. You decide

Match scores trace back to the criteria you set during intake. AI Summaries cite specific responses. Candidate Shorts pick the three most-revealing 30-second moments and explain why. The AI is compressing the time between hundreds of applications and a real shortlist. It isn't making the call for you.

  • Match scores against your criteria
  • AI Summaries with cited responses
  • 30-second Candidate Shorts with reasoning

Where they may be stronger

Where Metaview may be stronger

Metaview is purpose-built for the live interview stage and beyond. If your primary need is structured AI notes during live calls, ATS integrations for sharing those notes, or a broader recruiting platform that spans sourcing, outreach, job posts, and pipeline analytics alongside notes, Metaview's suite is built for that. The two tools solve different parts of the hiring workflow. Truffle before the live interview. Metaview during and after it.

FAQ

Common questions

  • What's the difference between Truffle and Metaview?

    Metaview is built for the live interview. It joins your Zoom or Teams call, transcribes what's said, and writes up structured notes. Truffle is built for before the live interview. It combines resume screening, one-way async video, and talent assessments into one Position Link so you know who's worth scheduling a call with. They solve different parts of the hiring funnel. You can use both.

  • Does Truffle do live interview notes like Metaview?

    No. Truffle is pre-interview screening software. It does not join live calls, transcribe live conversations, or write notes back to your ATS. If you need live interview notes, Metaview is purpose-built for that. Truffle decides who's worth a live interview. Metaview captures what happens once you're in one.

  • How does Truffle compare to Metaview on pricing?

    Truffle is $149 per month, or $99 per month with annual billing. Both prices are listed on the page and include resume screening, one-way interviews, assessments, and 150 candidates per month. Metaview lists pricing for its sourcing tiers (Free, $100/month, $300/month) but does not publicly itemize per-feature pricing for interview notes or application review as of 2026-06-04.

  • Can I try Truffle without a sales call?

    Yes. The 7-day free trial starts the second you sign up. No credit card required. No demo needed. You build your first position, send the Position Link, and start reviewing candidates. Most teams set up their first role on their own in under 10 minutes.

  • Does Metaview do one-way async video interviews?

    No. Metaview's interview product captures live calls. Candidates and interviewers are both on the call, and Metaview joins as a notetaker. It does not support a workflow where candidates record async video responses on their own time. That's what Truffle's one-way interview layer does.

  • What assessments does Truffle include?

    Truffle includes three assessment types on every plan: a Personality assessment built on validated Big Five (IPIP) research, a Situational Judgment Test that surfaces how candidates approach real work situations, and an Environment Fit assessment that measures alignment between candidate preferences and the reality of the role. Metaview does not include talent assessments.
