Frequently asked questions

Does SquarePeg replace Lever?

No. SquarePeg works on top of Lever via Chrome extension. Lever stays your ATS and CRM for pipeline, nurture, sourcing, scheduling, and reporting.

How does SquarePeg compare to Lever's TalentFit AI?

TalentFit's criteria are fixed and the reasoning is opaque. SquarePeg auto-generates criteria from each JD, lets you edit weights, and shows which Required, Preferred, and Bonus criteria each candidate met with the supporting resume language highlighted.

Does Lever already have fraud detection?

No native fraud detection. SquarePeg adds 11 signals: LinkedIn graph validation, phone and email name mismatch, disposable email, GPT-written resume detection, and more. Included in every plan.

Will this disrupt our Lever nurture campaigns?

No. Lever's CRM features are unchanged. SquarePeg sits on top as a Chrome overlay and adds intelligence to candidates as you review them.

How long does setup take?

About 5 minutes. Sign up, install the Chrome extension, authenticate Lever. Criteria auto-generate from each JD.

What does it cost?

Starts at $100/month, no per-seat fees, around 10-15 cents per applicant. Free tier includes 2,000 credits.
