SquarePeg Pros and Cons

SquarePeg has been an incredible new partner for us in 2023. Love the weekly status with our SquarePeg manager.

She truly takes the time to understand our business! The partnership and dedication of the team has helped our small business focus on our priorities and positively impacting our hiring efficiency. We’ve successfully hired 8 new hires through SquarePeg and look forward to many more! Awesome time saver, easy to navigate technology and collaboration. Feels like I have a true partner without adding recruiting staff to our team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Create a widget for use on company career page that embeds the postings. Currently candidates have to launch a SquarePeg landing page to see job postings. Easier reporting & search of candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In a market where there is a surplus of qualified candidates, we were overwhelmed reviewing hundreds of resumes for a single position. SquarePeg minimized the initial resume review by presenting the top qualified candidates for hiring manager consideration, while allowing us to view all applicants at any time. So far, we have successfully hired two tech positions through SquarePeg. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As HR, I am responsible for scheduling and communicating directly with candidates. If you are starting a new message to a candidate that you have not corresponded with before, the system automatically include all relevant team members in that message (such as the hiring manager). You have to intentionally remove other internal team members from the conversation before initiating with the candidate. It's not a difficult step, but you just have to remember to do it.

Getting hiring right is essential to any seed stage team. It's also a contact sport. SquarePeg is essential for getting the best candidates in the most efficient, cost effective way with the best candidate experience. Highly recoomend to the G2 community and beyond.

We have a true recruiting partner with SquarePeg as their team really listens to what we need. They come back with great recommendations and strong candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are specific skills needed for our talent pool which are unique based on our industry so initially we had to work closely with the dev team to refine our search criteria. Not a negative as it has led us to successfully fill open roles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As the only recruiter on my team, SquarePeg has been a huge help. No matter what, I know that I am being introduced to high quality candidates even when I am not sourcing. The user interface is very straightforward, and the team has been in constant communication to make sure that the candidates applying are relevant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not too many downsides for the product. They are constantly updating features and take customer feedback very well. The email feature was something I gave feedback on to improve and they improved it quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sourcing was extremely powerful, yielding not only a high volume of applicants but then doing the gruntwork of identfying the best candidates. The resulting cohort had one of the highest passthrough rates to an actual recruiter screen I've seen — across several departments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Communicating with applicants was not as intuitive as, say, AngelList (now WellFound); but I think this could be remedied with integrations to other apps we used. We only used it as a standalone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From the beginning of our partnership, SquarePeg has been a great partner in our search for talent. I find the interface of the platform to be intuitive and it was easy to integrate information from our JD onto the platform. Their personalized customer support team were very responsive and provided several analytical dashboards during our search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On occasion our search required some manual adjustments, which the customer service team quickly helped us with Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Squarepeg is easy to set up, seamless to get started, metric and analytic-driven to show quantifiable progress from the get-go, and result-oriented. I've never seen an ML-powered sourcing system get results this good to great interested candidates into the funnel, this fast and this consistently!

Squarepeg solves problems in volume and quality of funnel right away then continues to add depth and value by measuring job description performance, language, engagement, time on page etc. Their goals are aligned with their customers: get you the best conversion, be memorable and high-quality with results, take the smallest amount of time from you possible to get set up and running, and integrate with your ATS so you don't have to use their platform (but their platform is simple, intuitive, and very powerful when it comes to analytics).

Additionally, their customer service is top notch and they take my feedback seriously! They've achieved the ability to meet me as a user, administrator, and champion at my level by sharing the right amount of feedback with me and giving me context to justify their work and actions so I can step back even further and trust their process.

I wish they were able to provide this level of excellence throughout the rest of the hiring funnel. They haven't yet developed products for use beyond the top-of-funnel sourcing and engagement of quality candidates. If and when they do, they will become a one-stop shop for hiring.

SquarePeg is refreshing because it combines the functions of job board aggregation, sourcing, and screening candidates for a flat monthly fee per job posting. Where traditional recruiting services fall short on technology and transparency, SquarePeg has an easy-to-use interface with real-time insights. Their sourcing and screening processes were seamless extensions of our own, promoting a positive candidate experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SquarePeg easily exceeded the expectations we laid out for them. There were no shortcomings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've had a few different folks in this role over the last several years. SquarePeg helped us source the best quality and quantity of candidates to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Really can't think of anything. We are very satisfied. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
