SquarePeg

SquarePeg is a recruiting software company that positions its product as an intelligence layer for applicant tracking systems (ATS). Rather than replacing an employer's existing system of record, the product adds capabilities on top of it: screening and scoring of inbound applicants, resume enrichment and fraud detection, sourcing of passive candidates, and rediscovery of prior candidates already stored in the ATS. These functions are delivered through a single recruiting agent accessible via a chat interface that operates inside the customer's ATS.

The applicant evaluation feature scores and ranks inbound candidates on stated fit signals rather than keyword matching, and presents a percentage match per applicant. The enrichment feature converts traditional resumes into profiles that add information about each company a candidate has worked for, which the company frames as a way to detect fraudulent claims without manually researching employers. Sourcing produces curated talent lists of passive candidates, and a candidate-rediscovery capability that surfaces past applicants matching new openings with updated career information is described as coming soon.

Business model

SquarePeg sells software to employers' recruiting and talent functions as a layer on top of the applicant tracking systems they already run. Prospective users can sign up directly through a self-serve free entry point that allows scoring of one job at no cost and without a credit card, or request a demo, indicating a product-led motion alongside sales-assisted onboarding.

Software sold to employers, with a free tier permitting one job to be scored; pricing details are not stated.

Traction

The company states that hundreds of teams use the platform, and one cited customer reports making 29 hires through SquarePeg. The site advertises over 95 ATS integrations. Another cited customer reports filling a critical backfill role in under four weeks using the platform.
