You're the owner, GM, or COO running hiring between classes and shifts.

Front-desk churn and trainer risk, on top of running the studio
You hire the same roles on repeat, front desk, sales, trainers, with no recruiter to hand any of it to. A resume tells you even less about who can actually hold a room.
Front-desk and sales roles flood you with resumes
Post one opening and dozens of resumes show up by morning. Most candidates have never worked in a gym before and won't stay long. You read the pile yourself, between classes and closing shifts.
A resume can't tell you if someone can hold a room
Trainer and instructor candidates often look fine on paper. You can't tell if they have the energy and communication style your members expect until they're already in front of a class.
You're the one doing this, on top of everything else
There's no recruiter and no budget for one. Hiring landed on top of running the studio, so screening happens at night, after close.
Screen the flood and the fit, in one workflow
Truffle combines resume screening, one-way video interviews, and talent assessments, so front-desk hiring and trainer hiring run through the same platform.
01 · Resume screening Screen front-desk and sales resumes fast
Upload every resume from a posting at once. Truffle scores each one against what the role needs and hands you a ranked shortlist with plain-language reasons. Dozens of resumes become the handful worth calling.
02 · One-way interviews See how a trainer shows up before you meet them
Candidates record answers to your questions from their phone, no app, no scheduling. You hear energy, communication style, and how they'd talk to a member, before you spend an hour on a call.
03 · Environment Fit Check fit with your studio's pace and culture
Environment Fit surfaces where a candidate's preferences line up with the real pace of your studio, early mornings, back-to-back classes, constant member contact, and where they don't. Gaps become questions to ask, not automatic rejections.
04 · Review Review your shortlist with Magic Review
Magic Review puts the ranked candidate list beside each profile, with keyboard shortcuts to advance, hold, or pass. Go from a stack of candidates to the two or three worth meeting in one sitting.
One tool for the front-desk flood and the trainer hire
Most screening tools are built for one hiring motion. Gyms and studios run two: a resume flood at the front desk, and a trust question with every trainer.
One tool for volume, nothing for fit
Most screening tools handle high-volume resumes or video interviews, not both. Truffle stacks resume screening, one-way video interviews, and talent assessments under one Position Link, so front-desk hiring and trainer hiring run through the same workflow.
Resumes can't show if someone fits your culture
A trainer can look great on paper and fall flat in front of a class. One-way video interviews and Environment Fit surface communication style and culture fit before you book a call, not after a rough first week.
Software built for a recruiting team you don't have
No recruiter, no ATS required. Self-serve from $49 a month, live in minutes, built for the owner or GM already running the studio.
AI that picks for you
Truffle never decides who to hire. AI scores every resume, interview, and assessment against the criteria you set, with the reasoning shown. You make the call on every candidate.

Recruiting for gyms and fitness studios, answered
What is recruiting software for gyms and fitness studios?
It's software that screens candidates for the roles you hire on repeat: front-desk and sales, membership or client-experience coordinators, and personal trainers or group fitness instructors. Truffle is a candidate screening platform that combines resume screening, one-way video interviews, and talent assessments, so you can build the screening process that fits each role instead of using one tool for everything.
We don't have a recruiter or an HR person. Can we still use this?
Yes. Truffle is built for the owner, GM, or COO already running the studio, not a recruiting team. Setup takes minutes: paste the job description, accept or edit the AI-suggested questions, and share your Position Link.
Should I screen front-desk and trainer roles the same way?
No, and Truffle doesn't make you. Front-desk and sales roles pull a flood of resumes, so resume screening narrows that pile fast. Trainer and instructor roles pull fewer candidates but need more signal on communication and energy, so a <a href="/solution/one-way-video-interview-software">one-way video interview</a> and an assessment tell you more than a resume ever could.
Will candidates for an hourly front-desk job actually do a video interview?
Some won't, and that's a fair trade to weigh. One-way interviews work best for roles with a big, loosely-qualified pool, like front-desk and sales. For a role with a thin candidate pool, you can skip the video and screen with resumes and an assessment instead.
How do I know if a trainer will actually fit our studio?
You can't know for certain from a resume, and Truffle won't claim to predict it. The Environment Fit assessment shows where a candidate's preferences line up with your studio's real pace, hours, and member contact, and where they don't, so you know what to ask about before you hire.
What is Environment Fit and how is it different from a personality test?
Personality shows how someone naturally works. Environment Fit shows whether the day-to-day of the role, early classes, back-to-back sessions, constant member contact, matches what a candidate actually wants. Both are available on every plan alongside Situational Judgment.
Can AI reject a candidate for us?
No. Truffle's AI analyzes resumes, interview responses, and assessment results against the criteria you set, and scores every candidate with the reasoning shown. You decide who advances, who's on hold, and who's out.
How much does Truffle cost for a single studio?
Plans start at $49 a month for occasional hiring, with a shared credit pool you spend across resume screening, one-way interviews, and assessments. See <a href="/pricing">pricing</a> for the plan that fits how often you hire, and try it free for 7 days with 30 credits, no card required.
We're a multi-location franchise. Does this work per location?
Yes. Each location can run its own positions and criteria, and every plan includes unlimited team members, so a GM at one location and an owner across a few can both review candidates without extra seats.
How fast can we get a position live?
Usually under 15 minutes. Paste the job description, accept or edit the AI-suggested questions, add your studio's branding, and share the link on job boards, your website, or social.
Do candidates need an app or account to interview?
No. Candidates click your link and record from any phone or computer, no app and no login. Reminders go out automatically if they start but don't finish.
What roles do gyms and studios usually screen with Truffle?
Front-desk and sales associates, membership or client-experience coordinators, and personal trainers or group fitness instructors are the most common. Any role you hire on repeat is a good fit.
Screen your next front-desk hire and trainer, without a recruiter
Resume screening, one-way video interviews, and talent assessments on one platform. Use any one on its own. Stack all three when the role calls for it.
