If you’re looking for ways to streamline your hiring process, you've probably come across Wedge video interviews in your search. But what exactly is a Wedge video interview, and how does it help recruiters and candidates alike? Or beyond that, why is it a better choice? Let’s break it down.

What is a Wedge Video Interview?

Wedge is a one-way video interviewing platform designed to make hiring faster, more efficient, and more convenient for both employers and candidates. Unlike live interviews where both the candidate and interviewer need to be present simultaneously, Wedge video interviews allow candidates to record their responses to pre-set questions at their own convenience, wherever they are. Recruiters can then review these video submissions whenever it fits their schedule, reducing hiring time by up to 50% or more.
