On today’s SBAM Weekly Podcast, Michael Rogers talks with Matt Baxter, a VIP member of SBAM and the CEO of video interviewing platform Wedge, a more efficient and effective way of evaluating job candidates. “We are a one way video interviewing tool with a preset of pre-recorded questions that candidates respond to,” Baxter says. “They'll respond to those oftentimes in the earliest stages of the hiring process. A lot of times it’s used as a phone screen replacement, or sort of a preliminary interview replacement. So we sell that software to companies around the world, but really heavy, heavy focus on the U.S. and we love our Michigan clients as well.”

The Small Business Association of Michigan is the only statewide and state-based association that focuses solely on serving the needs of Michigan’s small business community. We have been successfully serving small businesses like yours in all 83 counties of Michigan since 1969. We’re located in Lansing, just one block from the Capitol.

Our mission is to help Michigan small businesses succeed by promoting entrepreneurship, leveraging buying power and engaging in political advocacy. When small businesses band together through the Small Business Association of Michigan, they achieve more than they could on their own. 

Our 32,000 members are as diverse as Michigan's economy. From accountants to appliance stores, manufacturers to medical, and restaurants to retailers, what unites the SBAM membership is the spirit of entrepreneurship…a spirit that drove you to start and continue to operate your own business because you believe you can do something better than anyone else is doing it!
