What do you like best about SquarePeg?

We posted a very hard to fill role with Square Peg - we got great candidates (and some not so great candidates) however we did interview several strong candidates and fill the role. It was very easy to post the job and communicate with candidates as we moved through the interview process. Our contact was super helpful and answered all our questions as we went through the process and I can easily see how Square Peg can help companies significantly reduce their hiring costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SquarePeg?

What do you like best about SquarePeg?

The product is extremely intuitive and effective. I had some nich roles that were difficult to fill, once we signed up with Square Peg we began seeing results. I'm sold on the product and love the analytics, responsiveness, and professionalsm. I look forward to using SquarePeg as my "go to" for all my open roles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SquarePeg?

Need a broader database of various candidates including government and renewable energy professionals.

I am hoping SquarePeg can provide a solid place for us to go to for difficult or harder to fill roles especially within specific or newer industries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SquarePeg?

SquarePeg did exactly what they said they would - they were able to review hundreds of resumes and select just the right ones based on my criteria.

What do you like best about SquarePeg?

We were impressed with how accurately it matched us with candidates based on our job description. One of our biggest roadblocks is finding the time to source candidates and SquarePeg significantly reduced that part of our process and left us with lots of great candidates to connect with. The whole tool was incredibly easy to use and very cost-effective. The support team was great and always had ideas or solutions for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First off, the team is easy to get a hold of and responsive. Secondly, it's great to see a percentage match to my job. It's also a very intuitive product that was easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SquarePeg?

The only issue I ran into was there were still unqualified applicants making it through because they answered yes to a knock out question even if they didn't have the experience on their resume. But this happens everywhere so nothing against SquarePeg for this Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SquarePeg?

Squarepeg helped our small startup find a stellar Senior Engineering to join our team in Charlotte, North Carolina. We had a very high bar for this role, and we're having major difficulties finding qualified candidates in the area on any other site. We were very close to sending the road to a recruitment agency, but thankfully we found square peg. Their software was very efficient at helping us find the exact person we needed right on time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SquarePeg?

It was pretty set-it-and-forget-it. We had several strong candidates apply for our open position, better than we've seen with some of the other job posting platforms. Their team was super helpful in getting it all set up as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SquarePeg?

SquarePeg is an excellent choice for lean teams, saving valuable time. What I find most appealing about the platform is its visually appealing candidate profiles, the high caliber of candidates, user-friendly navigation, and seamless integration with our ATS. Additionally, I appreciate the tags associated with each candidate's job history, clearly indicating whether they have experience working in SaaS companies or specific sectors like Healthcare or Insurance. This feature is particularly valuable to us as we frequently seek candidates with expertise in these areas, and SquarePeg easily identifies them for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SquarePeg?

While reviewing resumes, it would be beneficial if the interface allowed an option to enlarge the view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SquarePeg solving and how is that benefiting you?

SquarePeg is generating a robust pipeline of qualified candidates for recruiters, resulting in significant time savings in sourcing AND outreach efforts. It's that tool you can always rely on that has your back and keeps on giving. We recently filled a time-sensitive role with the help of SquarePeg. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
