Chief of Staff Financial Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Strong candidate for an early-stage startup in need of a hiring and ERM system" June 30, 2023 5.0 Had an excellent trial with SquarePeg and can see this becoming part of our hiring toolkit when we resume hiring efforts. The volume of high-quality candidates was high — one of the highest initial screening pastorates I've seen across different departments. Pros SquarePeg did an excellent job bringing us a strong flow of top-tier candidates. Cons I had no real complaints with the platform.

June 30, 2023 5.0 Pros SquarePeg has been an incredible new partner for us in 2023. 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 6 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. Cons Would love a widget we could embed in our careers page instead of launching a squarepeg sub page. Ability to search for names (we often get referrals and can be tricky to search for specific candidates). Review Source AR Ally R. EA Market Research Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Major Time Saver! " July 19, 2023 4.0 SquarePeg is helping to comb through the hundreds of applications we receive and rate applicants based on previously selected items we are searching for in a new team member! Pros The product is easy to use & helps to find quality applicants. Cons I wish it was easier to set up meetings with Google Cal via the platform. Review Source GB Gage B. Talent Acquisition Manager Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Experience" June 27, 2023 5.0 SquarePeg might be on to something with their business model. 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. Pros SquarePeg is refreshing because it combines the functions of job board aggregation, sourcing, and screening candidates for a flat monthly fee per job posting. Cons SquarePeg easily exceeded the expectations we laid out for them. There were no shortcomings. Review Source BV Brenda V. Chief Talent Officer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Square Peg - Great recruitment partner " August 10, 2023 5.0 Excellent! We have enjoyed working with the team and feel like they are a viable recruitment partner at a fair price. Pros The platform is easy to navigate and the team is always open to feedback. We've had two successful new hires so far and expect more. Great customer service! Cons No cons as the dev team welcomes feedback and looks for solutions. There is a process involved to allow for nuances of our talent searches based on our industry and they have been very accommodating. Review Source LA Lindsey A. HR and Workplace Manager Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great product for a low price!" June 29, 2023 5.0 SquarePeg's software allows us to manage our job postings, applications and resumes all in one place helping to simplify the process of recruitment and hiring. We love that they assist in vetting qualified candidates, ultimately saving us time and cost. We couldn't be happier with the support received from the SquarePeg team and the overall tech layout of the platform. Pros Customer service support is top notch, and the ease of use of the product is great. For a low price, I feel like I am getting great features helping me in my recruiting efforts. Cons Sometimes the resumes that are vetted and applied to my job positions are not qualified or are irrelevant. SquarePeg continues to work on this feature, and over time, I've seen continuous improvement. Review Source JM Justin M. Talent and Design Manager Computer Hardware Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "SquarePeg Recruiting" July 4, 2023 5.0 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. Pros We were looking to grow the team quickly. Other options were ineffective or cost 20% of first years salary per hire. With SquarePeg we made multiple hires within a few months and the pricing was very affordable. I would recommend it to any growing startup. Cons One improvement could be the email feature, however we primarily used SquarePeg as a sourcing tool since we pay for another ATS so this did not matter very much. Review Source MS Monica S. People Operations and Talent Partner Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Finally Another Option for Talent Acquisition!" June 27, 2023 4.0 The experience was positive and the team supportive. All my questions were addressed in a timely manner and the integration to our ATS was seamless. We were up in running in less than a day or two. Pros I liked how the platform not only sources candidates through job posting but all through passive recruiting effort and email campaigns to drive pipeline. Cons The integration into our ATS didn't show the same UI with regards to ranking as is seen on the SquarePeg platform. Review Source CR Conner R. COO Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A Viable Replacement to Agency Recruiting, at a Fraction of the Cost!" July 29, 2023 5.0 Pros SquarePeg was able to find talent for us locally, in a market that was not easy to source in. The platform made it time, efficient to prescreen candidates, and intuitive to track them at all stages. It helped us hire a fantastic software engineer in Charlotte, North Carolina, and was only marginally more expensive than posting on a standard job board. We had almost considered sending this role to agency, but thankfully we found SquarePeg instead! Cons There were several candidates who started applying on Square Peg, who did not complete their application. I would have loved to have seen these candidates as well!

Managing Director Venture Capital & Private Equity Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Found our strongest candidate ever" July 14, 2023 5.0 Pros We've had a few different folks in this role over the last several years. SquarePeg helped us find the strongest candidate we ever had in this role, and we hired that person. SquarePeg also helped us source a competitive candidate pool around that hire. Strong quality and quantity. Cons Really can't think of anything. We are very satisfied.
