Criteria vs Truffle

Criteria Real-Time Video Interviewing is a web platform for live candidate interviews, combining two-way video, guided questions, scoring, recording and AI-assisted post-call review. Evaluators can use predefined questions, real-time prompts and role-specific rubrics, then rate answers, add comments and supplementary ratings, and record an overall recommendation. After a call, the service can provide a transcript, summary, categorized key moments and plain-English interview questions and answers linked to recording timestamps. Batch transcripts with speaker labels are available in English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese and Chinese. Candidates and evaluators join in a browser without downloads or account creation; multiple evaluators use separate passwordless links and scoring forms. Candidates must explicitly consent to recording and AI processing, and those AI features remain off without consent. Criteria says it supports standard ATS integrations plus API and custom connections to ATS or HRIS systems. Pricing is on request.

Truffle is an AI screening platform that combines resume screening, one-way video interviews, and talent assessments in a hiring workflow. It scores candidates against criteria defined by the employer and shows its reasoning; it does not automatically reject or advance applicants. Assessments cover Personality, Situational Judgment, and Environment Fit. Teams can use a shareable position link without an ATS or connect to listed systems including Ashby, Breezy HR, Workable, Bullhorn, JazzHR, Recruitee, Teamtailor, and Indeed. Zapier connects Truffle to 7,000+ apps. Interviews are asynchronous, recorded, and transcribed, with scorecards; interview scheduling is not included. Candidates can complete interviews on modern phones, tablets, or computers using a camera, microphone, supported browser, and internet connection, without downloads or special equipment. Truffle says scoring relies on transcripts rather than facial, voice-tone, emotion, or biometric analysis, and candidate responses are not used to train its AI models. A seven-day trial costs $0.00 USD and includes 30 credits. Starter costs $49 a month and includes 200 credits monthly. Credit use is one for resume screening, two for an assessment, and five for a video interview.
