How Wedge is providing candidate insight in seconds - with AI Summaries

The new feature that's changing the hiring game

January 22, 2025

If you’re already using Wedge, you’ve unlocked a faster, more efficient hiring process—cutting what used to take weeks down to just days. Your team doesn’t have to worry about endless screening or time-consuming calls. But now, with our newest feature, you can level up even further. In just seconds, your team can pull out key highlights from candidate responses without breaking stride. It’s like finding the golden ticket and getting the chocolate factory.

Introducing Wedge AI Summaries. This feature does exactly what it sounds like: Summarizes each candidate's response videos into a short, digestible paragraph. It’s fast, accurate, and frees up your time to focus on what matters—finding the right fit.

Here’s How It Works:

  1. Enable with One Click: If you’re an account owner, you can toggle the new feature ‘on’ in your company settings, or directly from the candidate’s interview page by clicking the ‘Enable Wedge AI and Summarize’ button below the video player.
  1. Get Instant Summaries: Watch as the AI transforms long responses into clear, concise summaries.  No multi-page documents.  No overly wordy answers.  Just the main points you’re looking for.
  1. Rate and Share: Once the Summary generates, you should see a concise paragraph giving you all the main points you need.  Give it a thumbs-up or down to help encourage better accuracy for future interview summaries.  And if you want to share, it’s easy to copy + paste as you desire.

Why This Feature Matters:

✔️ Saves Time and Reduces Effort: Reduce manual note-taking, revisit and recall candidate info easily without having to rewatch entire Wedge interviews.

✔️ Enhances Focus and Quick Reviews: Tackle the tendency to form hasty conclusions. AI summaries highlight key points from each answer, encouraging users to watch more responses rather than skipping ahead.

✔️ Better Collaboration: Share detailed, ready-made summaries with colleagues for better team alignment on candidates.

If you’ve been a Wedge customer for a long time, you know we believe hiring should be simple, fast, and fun—not bogged down by endless admin work. With AI summaries, we’re bringing you one step closer to that reality, empowering your team to share meaningful insights in seconds, not hours.
