Save hours on screening and make faster, smarter hiring decisions with one-way video interviews.
October 25, 2024
If you're looking for a faster, more efficient way to screen candidates, you've likely come across Wedge's one-way video interview platform. But what exactly is a Wedge video interview—and why are hiring teams using it to replace traditional phone screens?
Let's take a closer look.
Wedge is a one-way video interview platform designed to simplify the hiring process. Instead of coordinating live interviews or phonescreens, hiring teams send candidates a link to complete a short, pre-recorded video interview. Candidates respond on their own time, and recruiters can review the videos at their convenience.
Wedge integrates directly into your Applicant Tracking System (ATS), including Greenhouse, Lever, Rippling, and more, so your team can manage everything within your existing workflow.
1. Create your interview
Choose from a library of over 150 pre-built questions, or write your own. You can also record custom video intros to showcase your company's brand and culture. To learn more about recording your own questions, check out our video demo here.
2. Invite candidates
Send interview invitations from Wedge or directly through your ATS. Candidates receive a link to complete their video interview on either desktop or mobile devices.
3. Candidates record their responses
No need to schedule time. Candidates complete their interview when it works best for them
4. Review and collaborate
Hiring managers review responses at their convenience, leave ratings and notes, and prioritize candidates based on who has completed the interview. Responses include AI summaries for quick at-a-glance screening of candidates.
Reduce time-to-hire
Wedge helps teams move faster by eliminating the scheduling back-and-forth and saving hours that would otherwise be spent on early-stage phone screens.
Fewer no-shows and better engagement
Since candidates complete the interview when they're ready, ghosting and rescheduling drop significantly.
More insight, earlier in the process
Video interviews provide early cues into communication skills, enthusiasm, and overall fit. These factors are hard to assess from a résumé.
Custom branding for a polished experience
Wedge enables you to personalize the interview experience with branded intro videos, helping candidates feel connected from the very first step.
Seamless integration with your ATS
From platforms like Greenhouse and Lever to Rippling and BambooHR, Wedge seamlessly integrates into your hiring flow, allowing you to track progress and keep everything in one place.
Wedge empowers hiring teams to move quickly, screen smarter, and eliminate time-wasting interviews with unqualified applicants. Whether you're hiring remotely, across multiple locations, or under tight timelines, Wedge makes it easier to identify top talent faster and more fairly.
