Wedge

10/20/2026

The YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas, using Wedge, has sent 1,000 invites with 750+ interviews completed. More than 3 in 4 people followed through - those are volunteers who actually want to be there, not because they were reminded, because the process fit their life.
Volunteer hiring has the same dropout problem as hourly hiring and the same fix. Make it flexible. Make it fast. Get out of the way.

As you're planning for Q4 and looking ahead to next year, here's something worth a few minutes of your time: our ROI calculator.

Most organizations track what they spend on hiring, but not what they lose to it. Scheduling back-and-forths, drawn-out review processes, time your team never gets back. That's the cost that rarely gets measured.

Two conferences. A webinar. Website work. Data configuration. A lot of conversations with hiring teams who are doing meaningful work. Hundreds of new teams of board, ready to higher faster.

We're heading into Q4 with momentum and we're not slowing down.

Velocity Auto Care came in with one question: will candidates actually complete Wedge videos?
They tested us in one of their hardest markets to find talent. Not only did it work, they expanded WedgeHR across their entire franchise network.

That's the goal. Not software that's nice to have, but workflows that are mission-critical to the business.

Here's a reframe that changes how you look at your screening numbers: candidate drop-off isn't always a bad thing.
When someone doesn't complete an async video screen, they're essentially opting out on their own terms. Which means your team doesn't have to spend time on a call to figure out they weren't the right fit.

The candidates who do complete it — who show up, record, and send it in — are telling you something about how they operate. And that's exactly who you want to talk to next.

How does your team think about drop-off in the screening process?

Our CEO, Matt Baxter, joined the "Scaling Up: Founder & Capital Forum" panel at Grand Rapids Tech Week this morning, talking through what founders need to know before they scale and raise capital.

As a Grand Rapids-based company building technology at the intersection of hiring and human connection, Tech Week is exactly where we want to be, right alongside the founders, builders, and investors shaping what's next for our city's tech scene.

September's about to be a big month for us. 🧡

We spent the last quarter heads-down operationalizing for some serious growth and now we get to go meet the people behind it. First up, we're headed to General Assembly in New Orleans with our amazing clientele, YMCA. If you're a Y and you'll be there, come find our booth 3038, we're bringing a whole team and we'd love to say hi.

Then it's off to the 1-Tom-Plummer Conference in Clearwater, FL and we're pumped to get to know the franchise folks and show them what our platform can do.

See you out there 👋

Rob Kish, on our Customer Success team, talks to hiring teams every day, and the same thing comes up constantly: phone screens are eating hours nobody has to spare.

So Rob built an ROI calculator to actually put a number on it. Drag a few sliders — how many hires a year, how long your phone screens run, your team's hourly rate — and it shows you what you get back when candidates record their intro on their own time instead of booking a call with you.

It's live on our YMCA page right now, but don't let that fool you, the math is the same for any team doing hourly, high-volume hiring. Lifeguards, warehouse staff, retail, doesn't matter. If you're scheduling phone screens, you're losing hours you could get back.

Go plug in your numbers. I think you'll be surprised. 👇

Here's something front-line hiring teams know well: a great resume doesn't always mean a great hire.

The candidates who stick around are usually the ones you got to actually talk to, early, and with the right questions. The resume gets them in the door. The screening conversation is where you find out if they fit.

What do you look for in a screening call that you can't find on paper?
