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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Wedge solving and how is that benefiting you?

Wedge saves us time by narrowing the candidate pool prior to interviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not the most effective for technical roles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is difficult to articluate someone's enthusiasm or speaking ability with a resume.

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
