AI candidate screening software

7 days · 30 credits · no card required
Four years placing talent is consultative services sales. The same qualifying, objection-handling, and closing the role runs on.
Full-cycle recruiting for engineering and operations roles; sourced, screened, and managed candidate and client relationships.
AI broke hiring on both sides. Recruiters got stuck in the middle.
Candidates use it. Vendors sell it. The missing layer isn't more automation. It's evidence.
Candidates use AI. Hundreds of polished resumes a day.
Candidates use ChatGPT to tailor resumes and write cover letters in seconds. A single position now gets hundreds of applications that all look qualified on paper. Teams buried in applications used to be an edge case. Now it's every Tuesday.
Vendors automated the decision. Black-box scoring.
AI recruiting software responded by automating the call. Auto-reject. Auto-rank. Predict the hire. The pitch is efficiency. The reality is hidden scoring, ambiguous compliance, and no reasoning behind the number.
Recruiters got stuck in the middle
The missing layer isn't more automation. It's evidence. Signals you can see, defend, and use to spend live time on the right people. Not a leaderboard you can't audit.
Three screening methods. One workflow. You design the process.
Most AI hiring software owns one layer. Chat. Video. Or assessments. Truffle combines all three, configurable in any order, so you build the screening process that fits the role instead of fitting into someone else's pipeline.
Resume screening: cut the obvious mismatches before you open a profile
Upload resumes one at a time or in bulk. Truffle parses each one against the requirements you set during position setup, skills, experience, must-haves, red flags, and returns a ranked list with match percentages. Qualification Questions filter for availability, authorization, and other hard requirements. Your pile of 200 candidates becomes a pile of 30 worth reviewing.

REC 0:42 One-way video interviews: see how candidates actually show up
Paste your job description. Truffle builds a one-way interview with AI-suggested questions mapped to the role, plus a scoring rubric tied to your criteria. Candidates record from any device, no app, no account. Every response is transcribed and scored against your rubric, with AI Summaries and 30-second Candidate Shorts surfacing the most relevant moments.
Talent assessments: evidence resumes and interviews can't give you
Three structured assessments surface alignment a candidate's self-presentation can't fake. Personality, built on Big Five research. Situational Judgment, scored against your team's preferred approach. Environment Fit for whether work-style preferences match the role. Under 15 minutes per candidate. No universal right answer, alignment is measured against your criteria.
Review the shortlist with reasoning attached to every score
Every match score breaks down per criterion. AI Summaries orient you on each candidate before you press play. Candidate Shorts compress full interviews into 30 seconds. Magic Review keyboard shortcuts move you through the pipeline. Team scorecards aggregate independent ratings into a consensus view.
What no other AI recruiting platform offers together
Most AI hiring software shows you a number with no reasoning behind it. Here's what changes when the platform shows its work.
A score with no reasoning
Truffle shows you why each candidate scored where they did. Per criterion, per question, per response. You define the rubric during position setup. AI measures against it and attaches the reasoning to every number. Not a 'match' badge, not a black-box recommendation. Structured evidence you can defend to a hiring manager or a compliance review.
A fixed vendor sequence
Most AI hiring software runs a fixed sequence. Truffle does not force the order. Use resume screening alone, stack interviews on top, add assessments when the role warrants it. Every position gets its own configuration. The process fits the role, not the vendor.
One signal, easily faked
Resumes show credentials. One-way video interviews reveal how a candidate communicates and shows up on camera. Assessments prove judgment and temperament under realistic conditions. Each captures a signal the others can't, and one AI-generated applications can't fake.
An automated employment decision
Truffle's AI surfaces evidence. You make every hiring call. That framing matters under NYC Local Law 144 and the Illinois AI Video Interview Act. AI Check flags AI-assisted responses as a context signal, never as an auto-rejection. Always confirm your own compliance approach with counsel.
Long vendor onboarding
Three minutes from job description to live screening. Paste your JD. Accept or edit AI-suggested questions and rubrics. Add branding. Share the Position Link. No implementation project, no vendor onboarding, no IT ticket.

Self-serve pricing, every feature included. Plans from $49/month, credit-based. Unlimited positions, unlimited team members. AI Match, AI Summaries, Candidate Shorts, Magic Review, AI Check, all three screening methods, all integrations included on every plan.

AI candidate screening questions, answered
What is AI candidate screening software?
AI candidate screening software uses artificial intelligence to analyze candidates against the criteria you define for a role, typically across resumes, one-way interviews, assessments, or some combination. The best AI candidate screening tools surface ranked matches with reasoning for each score, so recruiters can spend live time only on the candidates most worth talking to. Truffle covers all three screening layers in one workflow and attaches per-criterion reasoning to every match score.
How is AI candidate screening software different from AI recruiting software?
The terms overlap in usage. 'AI recruiting software' is the broader category. It can include sourcing, screening, scheduling, and outreach. 'AI candidate screening software' is narrower: it focuses specifically on evaluating the candidates you already have. Truffle sits squarely in the screening category. We don't do outbound sourcing or interview scheduling. We do help you go from hundreds of candidates to a confident shortlist.
What does 'transparent AI scoring' actually mean?
It means you can see why every candidate scored where they did. Truffle attaches reasoning to every match score, per criterion, per question, per response. If a candidate scored 8 out of 10 on communication, you can see which moments drove the score and why. Most AI hiring software shows you a number with no visibility into the reasoning. Transparent scoring lets you verify, compare, and defend each evaluation.
Does Truffle's AI decide who to hire?
No. Truffle's AI analyzes responses, scores them against the criteria you define, and surfaces the reasoning behind every score. The call, who to advance, who to interview, who to hire, stays with you. The AI compresses the time between hundreds of candidates and a confident shortlist. It doesn't replace the judgment at the end.
How long does it take to set up AI candidate screening on Truffle?
About three minutes. Paste your job description, accept or edit AI-suggested questions and scoring criteria, add your branding, and share the Position Link. No implementation project, no vendor onboarding, no IT involvement.
Can I use just one screening method, or do I have to use all three?
Either. Most teams start with one method, usually one-way video interviews or resume screening, and add the others when the role warrants it. Every position gets its own configuration. You're never forced to run a screening method you don't need.
How does Truffle handle AI-generated or AI-assisted candidate responses?
AI Check flags patterns of AI-assisted language as a context signal attached to the candidate profile. It's not an automatic rejection. It's a prompt to ask better follow-up questions, look for corroborating signal in the video, or weigh the response alongside the rest of the candidate's evidence. We treat AI-assisted responses as a context layer, not a gatekeeper.
What does Truffle cost?
Plans start at $49 per month (Starter). Pricing is credit-based: one shared monthly pool spent across resume screening (1 credit), assessed candidates (2 credits), and one-way interviews (5 credits). Credits roll over on Core and up. Every feature is on every plan, including AI Match, AI Summaries, Candidate Shorts, Magic Review, AI Check, all three screening methods, unlimited team members, and integrations. 7-day free trial, 30 credits, no card.
Which ATSs does Truffle integrate with?
Native integrations with Ashby, Breezy HR, and Indeed sync candidate data and screening results directly. Zapier connects Truffle to 7,000+ apps for custom workflows. Or use Truffle as a standalone screening layer, share a Position Link, no ATS required.
