Overview
Square Peg Hires, branded as SquarePeg, builds software that helps employers review job applicants and find people for open roles. Recruiting teams connect their existing applicant tracking system, set the criteria for a job, and receive ranked candidate profiles with explanations drawn from resumes and company information. The platform also lets users search earlier applicants, discover prospective candidates outside their database, and ask questions about their hiring pipeline through a chat interface. Customers buy usage credits for screening and sourcing, with optional monthly or annual purchases, so the software works alongside the tools their hiring teams already use.
