Coming to us from the tech hot spot of Michigan, Matt Baxter the CEO of Wedge tell us how they are changing 1-way video interviewing. The great debate continues as Shelley continues to endure the lashings from Serge on this topic. It was starting to feel like the deck was stacked against Shelley, but the 1-way video interview industry has a lot of wounds they need to heal before candidates consider this as a better way to interview. Win for Serge - top talent get a custom video welcome from the Hiring Manager, brilliant. Win for Shelley - messed up recruitment process will not be cured with 1-way video interviews; it only gets worse. Win for Matt - rave reviews from 100s of candidates who landed their next role and Wedge was a big part of it. Settle the score - who won this battle?
