Frequently asked questions

How does SquarePeg's scoring compare to Covey's?
Covey produced a score against criteria you defined. SquarePeg does the same and shows the reasoning: which criteria each candidate met, the weight of each (Required 3x, Preferred 2x, Bonus 1x), and resume highlights for the sentences that drove the score. Hiring managers stop asking "why did this person rank higher" because the answer is on the screen.
Does SquarePeg work with my ATS?
Yes. SquarePeg works with 95+ ATSes including Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, iCIMS, Workday, SmartRecruiters, Pinpoint, Spark Hire, and many more. The Chrome extension overlays on your ATS UI so setup takes about 5 minutes.
What does fraud detection actually catch?
11 signals: LinkedIn URL validated against a 400M+ profile graph, low connection counts, missing or stock-photo profiles, VoIP and voicemail-only phone types, phones with no recent call activity, phones registered to a different name, recently created or disposable emails, emails registered to a different name, and resumes whose structure aligns suspiciously with the job description (the canonical GPT-written resume signal).
How long does setup take?
About 5 minutes. Sign up at squarepeg.ai, install the Chrome extension, authenticate your ATS, paste a job description. SquarePeg auto-generates the scoring criteria - no manual rule configuration. Most teams score their first batch the same day.
What does it cost?
$100/month with month-to-month billing, no per-seat pricing, approximately 10-15 cents per applicant scored. Free tier includes 2,000 credits to score one full job. No annual commitment, cancel anytime.
Can I run SquarePeg alongside other tools?
Yes. SquarePeg is a Chrome extension that overlays on your ATS - it doesn't replace anything in your stack. If you also use video interviewing, background check, or sourcing tools, SquarePeg sits at the application-screening layer underneath all of them.
