SquarePeg Pros and Cons

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.

For us there were none other than having to remember how to use it (this was our first time). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

Need a broader database of various candidates including government and renewable energy professionals. The search functions are intuitive and AI driven so I'm not that concerned that the product won't catch up as I am using it and it's learning what our typical needs are.

It is a great time saver! Eliminates all but the most viable candidates from you queue. Ability to A-B test job titles is a big help in attracking the right candidates Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The amount of reminder emails sent every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. My resume review to interview ratio has sky rocketed. They also are very communicative with all applicants and do not leave anyone hanging out in a black hole.

The only thing I dislike is that I didn't find them sooner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

There isn't anything that stands out as something we disliked. We asked about some things around filtering of candidates but they came up with some great ideas 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.

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.

Tremendous team, slick platform, rapid turnaround, and seamless communication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

There were many great candidates that started to apply to our role on square peg, but hadn't yet completed profiles. I would have loved to see those candidates as wel Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

Some of the candidate sorting/filtering UX within the platform could be improved, but overall not a deal breaker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.
