The screening problem
Easy apply broke the top of the funnel. One-way video interviews fix it.
Phone screens don't scale. Resumes tell you less than they used to. And most video interview platforms hand you raw footage and call it screening.
Resumes tell you less than they used to
Easy apply and AI-polished formatting mean every resume reads the same. You can't see how someone thinks, how they communicate, or whether the writing on the page came from the person who applied.
Most video tools just collect recordings
They hand you a folder of 20-minute videos and call it screening. You still watch every one, take notes, and try to compare. The tool saved the scheduling step and pushed the review work back onto you.

Why teams switch
What changes when the platform gives you evidence, not raw footage
Review your pipeline in the time it used to take to phone-screen a few
Candidate Shorts compress a full interview into 30 seconds with reasoning. Magic Review keyboard shortcuts move you through the list. Most teams clear a full req in one sitting.
Every score has a reason. Every reason you can see.
Match scores show which criteria the candidate aligned with, where the gaps are, and what evidence drove each score. You set the rubric at intake. AI measures against it the same way for every applicant.
Know when responses show patterns of AI assistance
AI Check flags responses that show patterns of AI assistance, like off-screen reading or generated answers. It's a context signal, not an automatic disqualifier. Your team decides what to do with the flag.

-
What is a one-way video interview?
A one-way video interview, also called pre-recorded or async, lets candidates record responses to your screening questions on their own schedule. Instead of coordinating live calls, you share a Position Link and candidates complete the interview from any device. You review when you have time.
-
How do candidates complete interviews on Truffle?
Candidates click the Position Link, see what to expect, run a quick mic and camera check, and record their responses from any modern browser. No app download, no account creation, no login required. Most candidates finish in 10 to 15 minutes.
-
How is one-way video different from live video interviews?
Live interviews require real-time scheduling and one recruiter per candidate. One-way interviews remove the scheduling step entirely. Candidates respond when they're at their best, you review at your own pace, and one recruiter can clear a full pipeline in the time one phone screen used to take.
-
Can candidates retake their responses?
Yes, and you control how many retakes they get per question. Retakes reduce candidate anxiety, lift completion rates, and still give you genuine signal because every retake is recorded under the same conditions.
-
How is Truffle different from other one-way video interview platforms?
Most video interview platforms collect recordings and leave you to watch every one. Truffle analyzes every response against your criteria and surfaces match scores, AI summaries, and 30-second Candidate Shorts. The interview is one signal in a candidate screening platform that also handles resume screening and talent assessments.
-
Will candidates actually complete a one-way interview?
A well-configured Truffle interview sits at roughly 10 minutes for the candidate. Teams running Truffle see typical completion rates in the 60 to 80% range when Candidate Reminders are enabled at 24 and 72 hours. Completion is also a signal. A candidate who records thoughtful answers is self-selecting for intent.
-
Does Truffle work on mobile devices?
Yes. Candidates can record from any modern browser on phone, tablet, or laptop. No app download required.
-
How fast can I get set up?
About three minutes. Paste your job description, accept or edit AI-suggested questions, add your branding, and share the Position Link. No implementation project, no vendor onboarding, no IT ticket.
-
What does Truffle cost?
$149/month on the Self-Serve plan, or $99/month with annual billing. Unlimited positions, unlimited team members, and every AI feature included. 7-day free trial, no credit card required.
