Endorsed is a fraud tool first; its AI reviewer is an optional add-on. SquarePeg is built around finding your best candidates: it ranks every applicant, past candidate and sourced profile against your criteria, explains every score with resume evidence, and checks every candidate for authenticity as part of the same credit.
Endorsed sells to recruiting teams with high volumes of remote applicants. It says it screens applications with 700+ signals across application, identity, contact, network and device data, claims 96%+ detection accuracy, and says it has processed 10.6M+ applicants. An optional AI Applicant Reviewer checks applicants against job requirements. It integrates with Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, Workday and others.
Based on each company's public website and announcements, checked October 2026. Unknown means we couldn't find it described there.

As an AI company, SquarePeg gives us a lot of credibility. It has saved us so much time on screening and improved quality of hire.

Both tools sit on top of your ATS and check applicants for fraud. They differ in what comes first.
Every score shows its evidence. SquarePeg scores applicants as they apply, plus past candidates and sourced profiles, against criteria you write in plain language or generate from the job description, each marked Required, Preferred or Bonus. Every criterion gets a 0–100 subscore with a written explanation and the resume lines it's based on, so you review the best people first and can explain every ranking. Eligibility rules (location or radius, time zone, screening answers, a previous rejection reason or the application source) run first, so ineligible applicants are never scored or charged.
Endorsed's AI Applicant Reviewer is an optional add-on that reviews applicants against job requirements. Endorsed says it runs monthly bias audits.
SquarePeg connects to Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, iCIMS, Recruitee and other ATSs and syncs your jobs and applicants. SquarePeg makes rejections and stage changes in your ATS just as if you had made them there, so your ATS emails and automations still run, and the Chrome extension opens it right next to the job or candidate you're viewing. No migration and no new system for your team to learn.
Endorsed connects to Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, Workday and others, writes results back to enterprise ATSs, and has a Chrome extension.
Every candidate gets an authenticity confidence rating (High, Mixed, Limited, Low or Unknown), kept separate from their score. It's built from LinkedIn, phone, email and resume signals, and it also flags a phone, email or resume shared with a differently named applicant. It's included in the credit that scores the candidate. Signals inform your review; nothing is rejected automatically.
Fraud detection is Endorsed's core product. It says it uses 700+ signals across application, identity, contact, network and device data, with 96%+ detection accuracy.
Rediscovery searches past applicants in your ATS for people who fit a new opening and scores them on the same criteria as today's applicants. Outbound sourcing finds new candidates outside your ATS on the same scale, and you reveal an email only for the people you want to contact. Every resume gets company context such as industry, headcount, funding and public or private status. And you can find, compare and fine-tune just by asking: the SquarePeg agent finds past candidates who fit a new role, compares your top applicants, explains any score, and can review and update a job's criteria and eligibility rules, in the web app or inside your ATS.
Endorsed's site focuses on application-stage trust and review; it doesn't describe rediscovery or outbound sourcing as of October 2026.
Credits work across every feature, there are no seat fees and no platform fee, and your whole team can log in. Scoring an applicant or a rediscovered candidate uses 1 credit; sourcing a candidate uses 1 and revealing their email 2. Rediscovery also has a one-time fee to index your ATS, charged at cost. Rescoring is always free, the agent is free, applicants who fail your eligibility rules cost nothing, and new accounts start with 2,000 free credits, no credit card required. See the pricing page for current rates.
Endorsed sells Growth and Enterprise plans. Prices aren't public.
Before SquarePeg: "I'll spend time setting up a call with somebody, going to LinkedIn profile, trying to decipher if they're a real person, and then get them on the phone, and they're in no way matched up to the actual profile I had."
Endorsed is a dedicated fraud product with more signals, including device and network data. SquarePeg's authenticity rating uses LinkedIn, phone, email and resume signals plus shared contact details, and it's included in every score.
Endorsed offers an optional AI Applicant Reviewer that checks applicants against job requirements. SquarePeg scores every applicant 0–100 by default, with a subscore and resume evidence for each criterion.
