Campus hiring software
Campus hiring without the first-round phone-screen scramble
Truffle is candidate screening software that combines one-way video interviews, talent assessments, and resume screening. Send one link to every Handshake candidate, career-fair lead, or info-session signup. Whoever's running campus hiring, a dedicated team or the one person doing it alongside everything else, reviews Candidate Shorts and AI match scores between flights, then decides who flies out for the superday.

Campus hiring's bottleneck isn't volume. It's evidence before the superday.
A new-grad post on Handshake pulls thousands of look-alike applications while you (or your small team) are flying between career fairs. The phone screen is where campus hiring breaks.
Everyone has the same 3.7 and the same logos
A new-grad SWE post on Handshake can pull 2,000 to 3,000 applications in a season. Analyst posts at recognizable brands hit 5,000. Most look alike on paper: same target schools, same 3.7 GPAs, same internship logos.
You can't phone-screen 200 while flying to 15 fairs
You can't take 200 first-round phone screens while flying to 15 career fairs in six weeks. The first-round scramble is exactly the work that doesn't scale across a recruiting season.
Offers close by Thanksgiving
Campus hiring runs on a calendar. Top candidates accept competing offers by Thanksgiving. Every week the first-round screen slips is a week closer to losing the people you flew out to meet.
Campus-ready screening, live in 10 minutes per position
One screening workflow per position. Same link for Handshake candidates, career-fair leads, and info-session signups. You review on your phone between flights.
Post the link to Handshake, QR it at the career fair, text it to a lead
Truffle creates one Position Link per role. Drop it on Handshake, Symplicity, or 12twenty. Print a QR code on your career-fair flyer. Text it from the booth or after a coffee chat. Same screening experience for every channel.
Three to five behavioral questions. Five minutes. See who can pass a superday round.
AI suggests three to five behavioral or motivational questions from your job description. Short enough for a senior to film between classes, long enough to surface structured thinking, motivation fit, and coachability. Qualification Questions capture work authorization, graduation date, and start date before recording.
Replace the phone-screen scramble with 30-second Candidate Shorts
AI compiles a 30-second Candidate Short for every completed candidate, writes a one-paragraph AI Summary, and ranks against your rubric with a match score. You review between info sessions or in the cab to the next career fair. The superday, the coffee chat, and the info session still happen.
Every school, every program track, one review queue, same rubric
A campus program lead assigns campus captains, school leads, or hiring managers as Reviewers on a single new-grad or intern position. Share shortlists via secure link with school leads who don't have Truffle accounts. Rotational programs run the same rails across finance, operations, strategy, and marketing tracks.
The screening layer before the superday
Sourcing, events, and work-authorization checks stay in the tools you already run. Truffle does one job: the first-round screen.
Phone-screening 200 applicants between career fairs
One-way video does the first round for you. Candidates record five minutes on their phone; AI surfaces Candidate Shorts, match scores, and one-paragraph summaries. You review between flights and decide who flies out for the superday.
A ranked list you can't defend to a hiring manager
Every score has a reason on the record. AI Match shows which criteria a candidate aligned with and where the gaps are, scored against the rubric you set at intake, the same way for every school and every applicant.
A tool that wants to replace Handshake and Workday
Truffle doesn't. It's the screening layer before the superday, not an ATS of record, event manager, or work-authorization tracker. Handshake, Symplicity, Workday, Tracker I-9, Checkr, HackerRank, and Yello keep doing their jobs. Truffle plugs in via Zapier or native Ashby, Breezy HR, and Indeed sync.
An enterprise rollout before recruiting season starts
Self-serve from $49/month, live in about 10 minutes per position. Paste a JD, accept the AI-suggested questions, add your branding, share the link. No procurement, no IT ticket, no implementation project. Free trial, no credit card.
Campus roles Truffle screens for

- Product / Data Analyst Intern — what they notice first when handed an unfamiliar dataset
Analyst & consulting
- Analyst Rotational Program (LDP) — how they structure a messy problem with no answer handed to them
- Business / Consulting Analyst — case-frame instinct when the prompt is deliberately vague
Go-to-market
- Sales Development New Grad — composure the third time a prospect says 'not interested'
- Marketing / Brand Associate — how they pitch an idea when the brief is one sentence

FAQs about hiring for campus
Will campus candidates actually complete a one-way video interview?
Yes, and at higher rates than any other segment. Most campus positions on Truffle run three to five questions and take five to seven minutes on a phone. Candidates see the question count and time limits before they record. Gen Z candidates are the most video-native cohort Truffle serves. A new-grad who films five minutes is more motivated than one who mass-applied through Handshake.
How fast can I set up an analyst or intern position?
About 10 minutes. Paste the job description, accept the AI-suggested behavioral questions, add your branding, and share the Position Link. No implementation project, no vendor onboarding, no IT involvement. You can have an open analyst or SWE intern position live before your next career-fair flight.
Does Truffle work across multiple schools or program tracks?
Yes. A campus program lead sets up one position and assigns campus captains, school leads, or hiring managers as Reviewers, each reviewing their own candidates independently. Share shortlists via secure link with school leads who don't have Truffle accounts. Every school's candidates are evaluated against the same operator-defined rubric, and you see every rating in one team scorecard.
Can I still run info sessions, coffee chats, and the superday?
That's the point. Truffle replaces the first-round phone screen, not the superday, the coffee chat, or the info session. The in-person conversations still happen. The difference is you walk in with a Candidate Short, an AI Summary, and a match score, so you know what to ask.
Does Truffle integrate with Handshake, Workday, or Greenhouse?
Zapier connects Truffle to Handshake, Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, HackerRank, CodeSignal, and 7,000 other apps. Native integrations with Ashby, Breezy HR, and Indeed sync candidate data directly. You can also use Truffle as a standalone screening layer if your campus stack is a careers page and a Handshake posting.
How does Truffle handle international students on OPT or CPT?
Truffle captures work-authorization status via Qualification Questions before anyone records, without auto-rejecting anyone. You see the flag alongside the Candidate Short and match score. Truffle does not verify OPT, CPT, or STEM OPT status. Tracker I-9, Checkr, and WorkBright handle verification downstream, after you've decided who to advance.
What's the price for a campus program?
Plans start from $49 per month. You get one shared monthly credit pool across resume screening, one-way interviews, and assessments, and every feature is on every plan. Unlimited team seats, unlimited positions, 7-day free trial with 30 credits, no credit card. Custom plans are available for larger programs and enterprise campus teams.
Does Truffle replace coding tests like HackerRank or CodeSignal?
No. Truffle is the screening layer before the technical round. HackerRank, CodeSignal, and Karat handle coding depth. Truffle surfaces communication, structured thinking, and coachability in video responses, then hands the strongest candidates to your technical pipeline.
