Truffle — Candidate screening software for AI

What is candidate screening software?

Candidate screening software automates the early stages of hiring by evaluating applicants before live interviews. Instead of manually reviewing hundreds of resumes, screening tools use video interviews, skills assessments, resume parsing, AI-generated summaries, and structured scoring to surface your best matches faster. Modern applicant screening software typically includes one-way video interviews, AI-powered analysis, qualification questions, ATS integration, and shareable shortlists.

What screening methods does Truffle support?

Truffle supports four core screening methods: one-way video interviews, automated resume screening (in beta), structured talent assessments (Personality, Situational Judgment, and Environment Fit), and text-based qualification checks. You can use any single method on its own or combine them for each role. Most teams start with async interviews and add assessments or resume screening as they grow.

Can Truffle work with our ATS?

Yes. Truffle offers native integrations with Ashby, Breezy HR, and Indeed, with additional platforms available through Zapier's 7,000+ app library. Assessment results, match scores, and candidate data sync directly to your ATS candidate portal.

Can we use Truffle without an ATS?

Absolutely. Truffle works as a standalone screening platform. Share a unique link for each position via email, job boards, or your careers page and manage everything within Truffle's interface. Integration is optional, not required.

Is resume screening available now?

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.

How is Truffle different from AI tools that auto-decide?

Most AI screening tools try to decide who moves forward. Truffle takes a different approach: AI analyzes responses against your criteria and surfaces match scores, summaries, and highlight reels, but every hiring decision stays with your team. You see the reasoning. You make the call. That's the difference between AI that replaces judgment and AI that supports it.

How does applicant screening software improve quality of hire?

Screening software improves quality of hire by replacing unstructured evaluation with consistent, criteria-based assessment. Every candidate is measured against the same scoring rubric, reducing variability. Structured assessments surface alignment signals that resumes and phone screens miss. Research shows structured interviews predict job performance nearly twice as well as unstructured ones.

What's the difference between an ATS and screening software?

An applicant tracking system manages job postings, applications, pipelines, and offers. Candidate screening software focuses on the evaluation layer, giving your team structured, comparable information about each candidate before live conversations. Think of your ATS as pipeline management and screening software as the decision-support layer.
