Wedge is a great tool for recruitment! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jamie C. | Lead Consultant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 18, 2024 **What do you like best about Wedge?** Wedge has a very ease to use interface. It does a great job of enabling video interviews. It is very effective for sales, recruitment, and customer service recruitment. It has other use cases as well. Team is very supportive and the ease of implementation into my work flow was really great. I used it daily while I was recruiting for some sales roles. Not sure if it integrates with Bullhorn yet, but is easy to integrate into workflow. **What do you dislike about Wedge?** Not the most effective for technical roles. **What problems is Wedge solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is difficult to articluate someone's enthusiasm or speaking ability with a resume. Wedge has a great option of creating a video cover letter to include with a candidate submission. If I were recruiting sales and customer service people, would definitely use Wedge! ### 2. Amazing time saving tool! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Susan C. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 19, 2024 **What do you like best about Wedge?** Wedge allows us a pre-screening prior to the in person interview. We have saved countless hours by narrowing our interview pool down prior to taking the time in clinic to interview. This also helps us to determine which candidates are willing to take the time PRIOR to working for us, and that typically translates to people who are willing to take the time when working for us! It is nice to see facial expression, body language and to hear the candidate's ability to communicate effectively prior to an in person interview! **What do you dislike about Wedge?** I am not sure there is a downside. I do know Wedge is VERY persistant until a candidate completes their interview...this might be a bit annoying on the receiving side, however it does encourage them to get it done quicker! **What problems is Wedge solving and how is that benefiting you?** Wedge saves us time by narrowing the candidate pool prior to interviews. ### 3. Great pre-screening technology! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Olivia S. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 19, 2024 **What do you like best about Wedge?** I love how easy it is to use Wedge. I can create new prompts and videos with ease. Plus it integrates well with Jazz HR. I love that not only do we get see a bit more of our candidate's personality, but they get to see ours! **What do you dislike about Wedge?** I do wish I could restrict access to certain Wedges. For example, hiring a new director and do not want managers below the role to see the wedge even though they have access to other wedges for their hiring needs. **What problems is Wedge solving and how is that benefiting you?** Wedge allows us to see the personality of a candidate and not just their accomplishments. We want an all-around fit, not just someone good on paper. By sending a wedge, we are able to get this without giving up too much precious time for our hiring managers. ### 4. Easy to manage video surveying! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 20, 2024 **What do you like best about Wedge?** I like that Wedge allows customization of different templates for these video surveys/interviews. It's useful to my organization for different roles we're recruiting for as we can customize different questions for candidates to respond to. This makes it easy to organize and review! **What do you dislike about Wedge?** Sometimes users have a hard time recording themselves or the quality of connection on the user's end is not the best, which results in a difficult Wedge to review. Occasionally Wedge has some minor connectivity quirks that interrupt the viewing of recorded responses. **What problems is Wedge solving and how is that benefiting you?** Wedge helps our organization to pre-screen candidates for different roles by having them respond to different questions; you can learn so much about a candidate by hearing and seeing them speak about themselves and their experiences, and it helps us determine who will be a good fit for which role. It is a wonderful tool to have on hand especially when there are a large number of applicants to review. ### 5.

More for your money than you realize! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sally S. | Director of Duke Pre-College Programs, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2022 **What do you like best about Wedge?** The fact that a candidate can record their interview at any time that works for them saves our team literally dozens of hours per week on scheduling. I've used more expensive video software that contained bells and whistles, but they simply weren't needed on either side of the interface. Wedge is simple for our staff and the candidates to use. There are rarely technical issues, but when they do arise, Rob, Emma, and the other Wedge team jump quickly to fix them. **What do you dislike about Wedge?** I'd like an easy text field to ask each candidate a few questions. Currently, this has to be built by the Wedge engineers rather than on my end just building it by filling in text boxes with yes/no or short answer questions. **What problems is Wedge solving and how is that benefiting you?** Scheduling and screening candidates efficiently ### 13. Great platform **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chuck R. | Host, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 22, 2023 **What do you like best about Wedge?** Wedge was my first introduction to one way video interviews and it saved me a tremendous amount of time. **What do you dislike about Wedge?** Wedge worked great when I was using JazzHR but when I made the switch to BambooHR as a full HRIS, Wedge does not integrate so I was forced to find other options. **What problems is Wedge solving and how is that benefiting you?** Wedge helped a lot with time management by allowing applicants to record an interview response at a time most convenient to them. ### 14.

Being given the opportunity to express more of yourself before you even get an interview is a step forward in showing the confidence that someone has in the positions that they're applying for. **What do you dislike about Wedge?** There's not much to dislike with Wedge as it's a useful tool when looking at possible future employees. It allows us to learn more about them and just get a better feeling of the potential canidates. **What problems is Wedge solving and how is that benefiting you?** Wedge creates the gap between the person themselves and what's written on paper. It creates a space where people are free to give a little more "oomph" in their application. ### 15. Wedge helps make the process of screening applicants easy. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Restaurants | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 02, 2022 **What do you like best about Wedge?** Being able to see your applicants is so helpful. If an applicant takes the time to record a Wedge, it often shows their true level of interest in the job. Applicants seem to enjoy it to, as it often replaces a phone screen and allows them to do it in their own time. **What do you dislike about Wedge?** There is not a feature that we have come across that doesn't seem to work well for us. We love how it syncs with our applicant tracking system and is customizable based on the job we are trying to fill. **What problems is Wedge solving and how is that benefiting you?** Wedge is helping save us time. We used to spend a lot of time screening applicants through a phone screen.

Recruiting Manager **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2021 **What do you like best about Wedge?** Simple - the video portion. I think it is a great compliment of what a resume and application give us. **What do you dislike about Wedge?** I really do not dislike anything about Wedge. **Recommendations to others considering Wedge:** the only recommendation i would i have is having an app i can download on my phone. **What problems is Wedge solving and how is that benefiting you?** No problems. We almost get to meet an applicant prior to taking our time to vet them out. Plus, it shows their initiative. ### 41. Great product and Great company **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Daniel B. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 15, 2020 **What do you like best about Wedge?** Wedge understood our needs and requirements and delivered on those things. Integrating Wedge into our application made life so much easier for our advisors/interviewers. **What do you dislike about Wedge?** Wedge struggle a little bit with their API, which meant we couldn't use the API functionality in our apps, but we made it work. **Recommendations to others considering Wedge:** Wedge is a great company with a great product, I really look forward to seeing where Wedge goes in the coming years. **What problems is Wedge solving and how is that benefiting you?** Wedge is solving the issue of "There isn't enough time in the day to do ....". Wedge allows our team to focus on other aspects of their jobs instead of being on video calls the whole day. ### 42. Great video interviewing tool - even better customer service! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brooke P. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2020 **What do you like best about Wedge?** I really enjoy Wedge's integration with our ATS Jazz. It makes it incredibly fast to instantly send a video interview to incoming candidates and vet more efficiently! **What do you dislike about Wedge?** I do wish our candidates did not have to create a login to complete a Wedge video. This would make it easier on the large load of candidates we vet through. **Recommendations to others considering Wedge:** I do not have any recommendations at this time! **What problems is Wedge solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have solved a way to effectively vet candidates and find exceptional talent. By offering a quick one-way video interview it allows our recruiters to quickly move the candidates to the next stage of our hiring process. ### 43. Easy for them, easy for us, easy for the hiring fuss **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michael C. | GM, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2020 **What do you like best about Wedge?** Simple quick navigation makes it really simple to use. **What do you dislike about Wedge?** Wish only the one who sent out the invite was the one who received the notice that it was completed. (not the whole team) **Recommendations to others considering Wedge:** judge the platform based on the end users who will need to navigate it (THE CANDIDATES) it it isn't good for them, then its no good at all. **What problems is Wedge solving and how is that benefiting you?** reviewing interview answers that require the look in the eye without having to resort to a lengthy zoom ### 44. Easy to use **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospitality | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2020 **What do you like best about Wedge?** Easy to change questions and create different sets of questions depending on the position. Easy to review as it's on your own time (versus a zoom call). **What do you dislike about Wedge?** My only complaint is that maybe 1 out of 250 videos come through with an error. It may be on the candidates end (no sound) or they just get hung up in the system ('processing' for three days). However, the Wedge Team is quick to reset the link and the candidate just needs to record again. **Recommendations to others considering Wedge:** Use it. It's inexpensive and easy to make it your own. We use it for multiple positions and with different sets of questions. **What problems is Wedge solving and how is that benefiting you?** Lessening the amount of applicants that have physical contact with our locations (possible COVID-19 contact) and saving our management team time. ### 45. Wedge has made screening applicants easier. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mandy T. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 13, 2020 **What do you like best about Wedge?** Product seems to be user friendly for applicants. **What do you dislike about Wedge?** Sometimes the video does not appear back in the application or the volume is muted. But this can be user error. When applicants receive an email for the video interview, they believe it to be spam because it does not come from or represent our company. **What problems is Wedge solving and how is that benefiting you?** Prescreening during national pandemic which allows us to keep moving with the interviewing process without having an increased amount of applicants enter the building for face to face interviews. ### 46. Awesome product from an awesome company! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 14, 2020 **What do you like best about Wedge?** Great customer service. They are a team who really strives to do whatever they can to make their customers happy, which is always great to see. They are also constantly making updates to the product from what customers are asking for. **What do you dislike about Wedge?** Nothing really comes to mind, besides potentially a few small tweaks to the UI. Overall great product! **What problems is Wedge solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's a great product to use in this time where video interviewing is a must. ### 47. Made interviewing seamless **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alison R. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2020 **What do you like best about Wedge?** The convenience of reviewing candidates. **What do you dislike about Wedge?** The lack of personal interaction, but you get that during the interview. **Recommendations to others considering Wedge:** It is a simple platform that meets the needs of video interviewing. Great people on their team too! **What problems is Wedge solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are a school with lots of busy administrators. This process has made it easier for them to view candidates on their own schedule. ### 48. It’s been amazing we love Wedge **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 21, 2020 **What do you like best about Wedge?** The ease of use as well as the integration with our ATS **What do you dislike about Wedge?** I wish the respective hiring managers didn’t receive notifications about every wedge created **Recommendations to others considering Wedge:** If you are looking to spice up your TA process you can’t go wrong with Wedge **What problems is Wedge solving and how is that benefiting you?** There were so many resumes and now we have a quick way to screen ### 49. Great way to 'see and hear' a candidate which is necessary during the pandemic. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2020 **What do you like best about Wedge?** I like that we can customize questions and really like see candidates. **What do you dislike about Wedge?** That candidates are reluctant to respond. The set up is a bit cumbersome but in the end it works well to have a "bank" of questions to choose from. **What problems is Wedge solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are solving the need for a first "phone screen" and do the WEDGE instead. We have realized that this saves time. We are in healthcare so we can't bring candidates in and this resolves a phone screen and allows us to move to a zoom or facetime call as the next step. ### 50. Easy to use platform for the employer and candidates. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Human Resources | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 21, 2020 **What do you like best about Wedge?** Assists with the hiring and screening process to ask a few questions before an actual phone or in-person interview. **What do you dislike about Wedge?** Some applicants do not like to use this platform and/or this style of interview. **What problems is Wedge solving and how is that benefiting you?** Quicker screening process. ## Wedge Discussions - [How can we work together to get more candidates to respond to WEDGE?
