Resume screening software helps hiring teams evaluate resumes faster by parsing, analyzing, and scoring candidates against job requirements. Traditional tools use keyword matching. Truffle uses a role-specific rubric with weighted dimensions, evidence classification, and recency analysis, so you're scoring the depth of experience, not just whether a term appears on the page.
Paste your job description and Truffle generates a role-specific scoring rubric with weighted dimensions. Resumes come in through Truffle's application flow, your ATS sync, or manual upload (PDF and DOCX). AI parses each resume and scores it against your rubric, classifying evidence depth for each dimension (Strong, Some, or None) with rationale citing specific content. Recency modifiers and weight calculations produce a Resume Match score (High / Mid / Low) and a Requirements check (Met or Gap) for every candidate.
Most resume screening software matches keywords. Truffle scores evidence depth against a role-specific rubric you define. A keyword match and a detailed description of hands-on experience are not the same thing. Truffle's scoring model knows the difference. Every score includes transparent reasoning, recency analysis, and a requirements floor check. Results inform your decisions; they don't make them.
For small teams without a dedicated recruiting function, the best resume screening tool is one that's fast to set up, transparent in how it scores, and doesn't require enterprise-level volume to justify the cost. Truffle's rubric-based approach works for any team size. Paste your JD, review the rubric, and start screening. No implementation project, no vendor onboarding, no minimum candidate volume.
Resume screening is currently in beta and launching fully in the coming weeks. You can get early access today by starting a free trial. Video interviews and talent assessments are fully available now.
Truffle accepts PDF and DOCX files. You can upload individually, in bulk, or let resumes flow in through Truffle's application link or your ATS integration. Each resume is parsed into structured data (job titles, companies, dates, skills, education) before being scored against your rubric.
No. Truffle never auto-rejects. Candidates who score below your threshold are flagged for human review. The Requirements check surfaces candidates missing must-have qualifications, but gaps are conversation starters, not automatic disqualifiers.
Any dimension you weight at ×3 becomes a requirement. If a candidate scores zero on any requirement dimension, meaning no evidence found in their resume, they receive a Gap status. This is a floor check that surfaces candidates who may be missing critical qualifications. It doesn't disqualify them; it flags them for closer review.
Yes. Each of Truffle's screening methods works independently. Many teams start with resume screening for roles where qualifications and experience matter most. You can add one-way video interviews or talent assessments to the same workflow later. Everything feeds into the same candidate profile.
Before scoring real resumes, Truffle can generate five synthetic resumes designed to test your rubric. Each surfaces a specific hiring tradeoff: the high scorer with a critical gap, the stale expert, the keyword stuffer. You react to each, and Truffle refines the rubric to match your actual preferences. Optional but powerful, especially for roles where the tradeoffs aren't obvious from the JD alone.
Truffle can flag resumes that exhibit patterns commonly associated with AI-generated content. This is surfaced as a contextual indicator to support your review, not as an accusation or automated decision. The system highlights document-level characteristics intended to prompt closer human evaluation. No candidate is auto-rejected based on this signal.
Each candidate shows a Resume Match score (High / Mid / Low) and a Requirements status (Met or Gap). Drill into any candidate to see per-dimension evidence classification with rationale, recency modifiers, and an observations panel covering tenure patterns, impact language, skills-to-experience alignment, and more. Strengths, gaps, and red flags summarized in plain language.
Truffle's resume screening scores candidates against employer-defined rubric dimensions, not protected characteristics. Scoring is transparent and auditable. Every score shows evidence classification, rationale, and calculation. There are no hidden algorithms or opaque rankings. Results are positioned as diagnostic information to support human decision-making. We recommend consulting your legal team for compliance-specific questions.
Resume screening is currently in beta. Teams using Truffle for one-way video interviews and talent assessments can request early access. Join the waitlist to be notified when resume screening is available for your account.
