AI video interview software loved by hundreds of great companies
The AI video interview problem
Resumes got rewritten by ChatGPT. Cover letters got outsourced. Qualification answers got copy-pasted from a prompt. Every signal you used to trust at the top of the funnel now looks identical across hundreds of applicants, and you still have the same week to get to a shortlist.
The video interview is the new first real signal. A candidate can't paste their way through a 90-second recorded answer. You hear how they think, what they care about, and whether they understood the role.
The problem with most AI video interview platforms. They collect recordings, run a black-box score, and hand you a verdict. You can't see what drove the ranking. Your hiring manager can't either. NYC Local Law 144 and the Illinois AI Video Interview Act make that opacity a real legal exposure now, not a future one. Day to day, it's a trust problem. Recruiters shouldn't hand their judgment to a tool that won't show its reasoning.
How it works
Most AI video interview software takes hours to configure. Truffle takes about three minutes.
Drop in your JD and Truffle suggests screening questions matched to role, seniority, and the criteria you care about. Accept them, edit, or write your own. Set time limits, add your branding, and define what "strong" looks like for this role before a single candidate records.
Candidates click your link and start recording from a phone, tablet, or laptop. No download, no account, no friction. Set thinking time, allow retakes, and show a branded welcome video so candidates know they're recording for real people and not a bot wall. That respect for their time is why completion rates stay high even at volume.
Every response is transcribed and scored against the rubric you set during setup. Match Percentage Scoring shows which criteria each candidate aligned with, where there are gaps, and why. AI Candidate Summaries give you the key takeaways before you press play. Candidate Shorts compress each interview into a 30-second highlight reel tagged by competency, with a "why this matters" note on every clip.
Share a candidate profile with your hiring team. Everyone reviews independently against the same criteria with the same scorecard. Move Forward, Unsure, or Pass. Consensus shows up in one view and you skip the review meeting.
Why teams switch to Truffle
Every AI video interview platform collects recordings and runs a ranking. Here's what changes when the tool shows its work.
Most AI video interview software is record-and-score: it takes a recording, runs a ranking, and asks you to trust the number. Truffle runs a structured interview against a rubric you defined, shows which criteria each candidate aligned with, where the gaps were, and what drove the analysis. You can defend the decision to your hiring manager with evidence, not "the algorithm said so."
You define the rubric during setup. AI measures against it consistently. You decide.
Candidate Shorts compress each interview into a 30-second highlight reel with a "why this matters" note on every clip. Magic Review lets you move through the pipeline without clicking into profiles: read the summary, watch the short, advance or pass with a keyboard shortcut. Teams report getting through 50 candidates in under an hour, not an afternoon.
AI-polished resumes got candidates in the door. AI Check helps you see who might still be reading off-screen once they're recording. Truffle flags responses with patterns of AI-generated language as a context signal so you can ask better follow-up questions. Never as an automatic rejection.

Questions

An AI video interview is a one-way or async video screening where candidates record responses to your questions on their own schedule. AI transcribes, summarizes, and scores each answer against the criteria you defined. On Truffle, that means a ranked shortlist with match scores, AI Candidate Summaries, and 30-second Candidate Shorts, so you get to a confident decision without watching every full recording.
A regular video interview tool collects recordings and hands you a pile of video files. An AI video interview platform analyzes each response. Truffle transcribes the answer, scores it against your rubric with per-criterion reasoning, generates a summary, and picks the 30 seconds that matter. You still make the call. The tool just saves you the hours of passive review. If you're specifically shopping for the async recording mechanic, our one-way video interview software page goes deeper on that angle.
No. Truffle's AI surfaces evidence. You decide. Match scores show how closely each candidate aligned with the criteria you set during setup, with reasoning for every score. Candidate Shorts pull the moments most relevant to your rubric. Summaries highlight the key insights. Every hiring call stays with the human reviewer. That's the core design, not an afterthought.
Yes. Every match score breaks down per criterion, with the reasoning the AI used and a link to the exact moment in the transcript that supported it. You can show the breakdown to your hiring manager or a candidate's recruiter and defend the decision with evidence. No black box, no "the algorithm said so."
About three minutes. Paste your job description, accept or edit the AI-suggested questions, add your branding, and share the link. No implementation project, no vendor onboarding, no IT involvement.
Yes. Most teams start with AI video interviews alone and add other screening layers when they want deeper signal. Truffle is designed so each screening method works on its own. You can layer on resume screening or talent assessments later without rebuilding anything.
Yes. Candidates can record from any modern browser on any device. No app, no account, no login. The interface is optimized for mobile recording so candidates get a clean experience whether they're at a laptop or on the bus with their phone.
AI Check flags responses that show patterns of AI-generated language, like copy-pasted ChatGPT output or read-from-screen phrasing. It's a context signal, not a verdict. You use it to ask better follow-up questions, not to auto-reject. Built in on every plan.
These laws regulate how AI is used in hiring decisions, and they're exactly why transparency matters. Truffle is decision-support, not an automated employment decision tool. AI surfaces evidence against the criteria you define. You make every hire/no-hire call with reasoning you can audit. That framing is what most buyers land on when reviewing LL-144 and the Illinois Act with their legal teams. Always confirm your own compliance approach with counsel, especially before operating in regulated jurisdictions.
Yes, when the UX respects their time. Truffle lets you set thinking time, allow retakes, and add a branded welcome video so candidates don't feel like they're recording into a void. Mobile-friendly, no account, no download. Completion rates stay well above average for one-way video interviews when those basics are in place.
$149/month, or $99/month with annual billing. That's flat pricing with every AI feature included, unlimited team members, and no per-candidate fees. 7-day free trial, no credit card. See pricing for details.
