Use Case

SquarePeg helps recruiting and HR teams quickly identify and prioritize top applicants from large applicant pools, reduce time-to-hire, and lower sourcing costs. Common problems it addresses include spending excessive hours on resume screening, missing high-fit candidates due to keyword-only filters, and underutilizing existing ATS talent pools. Teams can: 1) instantly score and rank candidates against a job’s requirements using ATS and resume data; 2) rediscover past qualified or "silver medalist" candidates already familiar with the company; 3) source passive candidates at scale when the active pipeline is thin; 4) enrich candidate profiles with inferred skills, standardized/related titles, and 20+ company data points; 5) detect and bulk-filter fraudulent or ineligible applicants (e.g., VoIP phone numbers, questionable LinkedIn signals, sponsorship/location constraints); and 6) leverage outcome intelligence to refine requirements, forecast time-to-fill, and reduce hiring manager review time.

Enable recruiting teams to decide when passive sourcing is warranted and then execute it directly in the SquarePeg platform. Compare the qualifications of current applicants, past candidates from your ATS, and the broader passive talent pool against the same requirements to determine if outreach is needed. When it is, tap into 500M+ enriched profiles to precisely target talent, adjust criteria based on market availability, and reduce reliance on separate LinkedIn Recruiter seats. Also flags potentially fraudulent applicants so recruiters spend less time on low-quality or fake profiles.

Target Audience

Recruiting and HR teams at modern technology companies and other organizations seeking to automate and improve top-of-funnel hiring. Especially useful for lean teams that manage high applicant volumes and use ATS platforms like Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Workable, etc. Roles include Heads of People, Talent Acquisition Managers, Recruiters, and HR leaders looking to improve quality-of-hire, reduce screening time, and leverage historical ATS data.
