VERDICT

Should I use Truffle (HireTruffle)?

AI screening platform for small teams doing high-volume hiring - hiretruffle.com

Depends. Buy if you're a small team screening a flood of applicants for hourly or entry-level roles — cheap entry, fast setup, fast reviews. Skip it if you hire occasionally, need full ATS depth, or want flat predictable pricing.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~30 public sources. Many review pages are Truffle-published; weight given to third-party sites and Reddit. No named customer companies found in evidence.

Gotchas - check before you buy

high

Credit metering: costs scale with candidate volume; trial includes only 30 credits.

medium

Young self-funded vendor — budget an exit plan and data export if it folds.

medium

Most buzz sits on brand-affiliated r/hiretruffle; independent reviews are thin.

medium

Support appears self-serve via help center; human support depth unknown.
