How the wedge works

Three layers of evidence. One ranked shortlist.

Willo collects one-way video at scale and lets you rate it. Truffle adds resume screening and assessments alongside the video, scores all three against your criteria, and shows why each candidate ranked the way they did.

Layer 01

Resume screening Willo leaves out

Willo's strength is the recording experience. Resume screening lives in a separate tool. Truffle parses every resume against your intake criteria, applies qualification questions to gate the rest of the funnel, and surfaces resume signals next to interview and assessment data in one candidate view.

Qualified · meets 4 of 4 must-haves
Layer 02

One-way video with ranked AI Match

Willo's recording flow is polished and global, with 18 languages and a clean candidate experience. Truffle's recording flow runs the same way, then adds AI Match scoring against your criteria, transcripts, and 30-second Candidate Shorts that pick the most-revealing moments and explain why each one was chosen.

Candidate Short · 30 sec · cited
Layer 03

Validated assessments Willo doesn't bundle

Willo doesn't include validated assessments natively. Truffle layers IPIP Big Five Personality, Situational Judgment, and Environment Fit assessments alongside the video, and the assessment results sit in the same candidate view as the interview and resume signals.

Pricing transparency

AI included, not upsold

Why teams switch

What you might be experiencing with Willo

01

AI scoring sits behind a higher plan

Willo's Starter plan posts a price, but the AI Scoring feature most teams are buying it for is locked to Growth at $359/month or Scale at $409/month. If you started on Starter to test the workflow, you're paying for video collection without the analysis layer that compresses review time.

With Truffle

Truffle includes AI Match, Candidate Shorts, and AI Summaries on every plan, starting at $149/month or $99/month with annual billing. There's no upgrade path between you and the feature you came for.

02

Video alone isn't enough when resumes are AI-generated

Willo collects how candidates show up on camera, and it does that well in 50+ languages. But it doesn't screen resumes against your criteria, and personality and situational judgment aren't part of the workflow. Video is one signal, and a more polished one with every passing month.

With Truffle

Truffle stacks three screening layers in one Position Link: resumes for credentials, one-way interviews for communication and presence, and Personality, Situational Judgment, and Environment Fit assessments for evidence beyond self-presentation. Each layer adds a signal that's harder to fake than the last.

What Truffle does differently

Three screening layers, one candidate view

One workflow

Resumes, interviews, and assessments in one Position Link

Every candidate enters one workflow you design. Resumes get parsed against your criteria, interview responses transcribe and score, and Personality, Situational Judgment, and Environment Fit assessments add evidence beyond self-presentation. Everything ranks into one shortlist with one match score.

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

AI Match and Candidate Shorts on every plan

Match scores, AI Summaries, and 30-second Candidate Shorts ship on every Truffle plan, not just the higher tiers. Sign up at the price on the page and the analysis layer is on the second your first response lands.

  • Public pricing, no upgrade gating
  • 7-day free trial, no credit card
  • Cancel any time
Transparent AI

AI surfaces. You decide

Match scores trace back to the criteria you set during intake, AI Summaries cite specific responses, and 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
Honest fit

Is Truffle right for you?

Truffle's sweet spot

Truffle's sweet spot

In-house recruiters and TA leads on 1-5 person teams at 100-1,000 employee companies. 15-30 open roles at any time. Hiring year-round on high-volume positions where resumes alone don't tell you who's real. Self-serve buyers who want AI scoring on the same plan as the video collection.

Where they may be stronger

Where Willo may be stronger

Willo is built for global reach across 50+ languages and integrates with a long list of regional ATS platforms. If your hiring runs across many languages and you're already on a Willo Growth or Scale plan that fits your needs, the case to switch is narrower. Willo is worth the trial.

  • How does Truffle compare to Willo on pricing?

    Truffle is $149 per month, or $99 per month with annual billing. AI Match, Candidate Shorts, and unlimited team members are included on every plan. Willo's published pricing starts at $279 per month for Starter, with AI Scoring locked to Growth at $359 and Scale at $409. For most teams the comparison isn't price to price, it's price to the plan that includes AI.

  • Does Truffle include AI scoring on every plan?

    Yes. AI Match scores, AI Summaries, and 30-second Candidate Shorts ship on every Truffle plan, including the 7-day free trial. There's no Growth tier between you and the analysis layer. Match scores trace to the criteria you set during intake, and Summaries cite the specific responses that drove the ranking.

  • Does Truffle do skills assessments like Willo?

    Truffle's assessments are Personality (built on validated Big Five research), Situational Judgment Tests scored against your team's preferred approach, and Environment Fit assessments that surface whether a candidate's work-style preferences match the role. If you need coding skills tests with proctoring, Willo and a coding tool may serve you better. If you want assessments that measure judgment and temperament alongside resume and interview signals, Truffle is built for that.

  • Can I import my candidates from Willo?

    Truffle doesn't pull data directly out of Willo. The cleanest migration is to point your next open role at a Truffle Position Link and let your existing Willo pipeline finish on its own. Most teams are fully on Truffle within two to three weeks. If you have specific Willo candidates you want to re-engage, our CSV bulk invite handles that in one upload. Native and Zapier integrations cover most ATS handoffs from there.

  • How many team members can I add on Truffle?

    Unlimited, on every plan. Hiring managers, recruiters, and reviewers all see the same candidate view, the same Match scores, and the same Candidate Shorts. No per-seat upcharge, no plan upgrade to add a teammate.
