11 Signals

Fraud detection that goes deeper than application metadata

Most fraud tools score the connection - the IP, the proxy, the phone carrier type. SquarePeg scores the candidate. The 11 signals look at the resume, the LinkedIn profile, and the identity behind the name.

LinkedIn Validation

Profile URL checked against 400M+ LinkedIn profile database.

Connection Count < 100

Low-connection profiles - a strong fraud signal in technical recruiting.

No LinkedIn Photo

Missing or stock-photo profile pictures.

Unusual Phone Type

Voicemail-only, toll-free, NonFixedVoIP carriers.

Limited Phone Activity

Minimal real call activity over the past 12 months.

Invalid Phone Number

Incorrectly formatted or not linked to an active line.

Phone Name Mismatch

Carrier-registered name doesn't match the application name. Highest-fidelity fraud signal in modern recruiting.

Limited Email Activity

Email only appears in public records within the past 3 months.

Email Name Mismatch

Email registration name doesn't match the application name.

Disposable Email

Temporary or low-reputation provider.

Resume-JD Over-Alignment

Resume's structure and language are suspiciously close to the job description. Canonical signal for GPT-written resumes.

The Real Talent Gap

The signals Real Talent doesn't surface

Real Talent is strong at perimeter fraud - bots, proxies, server farms, VoIP detection. SquarePeg covers the layer underneath: who the candidate actually is, and whether they wrote what they sent you.

Decision Framework

When SquarePeg makes sense

Run SquarePeg alone

Not on Greenhouse Enterprise, or fraud is content-driven

Real Talent is plan-gated to Enterprise. SquarePeg works on any Greenhouse plan and catches the resume and identity fraud Real Talent doesn't surface.

Run both, in parallel

High-volume hiring with bots and human fraud

Real Talent stops the bots at the perimeter. SquarePeg evaluates the humans who get through. No overlap, no conflict.

Real Talent alone

Enterprise customer, bot fraud is the whole problem

If your fraud is overwhelmingly bots and you need CLEAR identity verification, Real Talent's perimeter is sufficient.

Frequently asked questions

Does SquarePeg replace Greenhouse?

No. SquarePeg works on top of Greenhouse via Chrome extension. Greenhouse stays your ATS for pipeline management, interviewing, reporting, and candidate communication.

What does SquarePeg catch that Real Talent doesn't?

LinkedIn validation against a 400M+ profile graph, GPT-written resume detection, phone carrier name mismatch, email registration name mismatch, and connection-count and photo anomalies. Real Talent uses IPQualityScore for perimeter fraud (bots, proxies, IPs); SquarePeg evaluates the candidate's identity and resume content.

What does Real Talent do that SquarePeg doesn't?

Real Talent covers IP-level fraud (proxies, VPNs, server farms, country mismatches) and offers CLEAR identity verification. SquarePeg does not match those perimeter capabilities. If those are your primary needs, Real Talent is the right tool.

Do I need Greenhouse Enterprise to use SquarePeg?

No. SquarePeg works with any Greenhouse plan. Real Talent is gated to Enterprise; SquarePeg is not.

How long does setup take?

About 5 minutes. Sign up, install the Chrome extension, connect to Greenhouse. Scoring criteria auto-generate from each job description.

JupiterOne reduced recruiter screening workload by 38%. Laurel.ai saved 40+ hours on a single role. Nymbus went from hours of manual screening to 10-second scoring per candidate.
