Incredible Software

I've never seen anything like it in all my years participating in every aspect of the hiring process. It makes sense, it's extremely well executed, and it adds so much value to the process for everyone involved. Right now this software would be globally successful and after meeting one of the rep and hearing what's on the roadmap this is truly a game changer. If you aren't using Pinpoint you're wasting your time!

PROS

How the team are approaching this is truly mind blowing. Without a doubt it accomplishes the task of sourcing and managing the recruitment process better than anything else out there. The app has a ton of small details that make it easy and pleasant to use for everyone from the applicant to the recruiter, hiring manager, and CEO. It's saved us so much time and money in our hiring and has helped us find talent we wouldn't have with traditional methods. If you don't believe me, ask for a demo. You'll see in the first five minutes why you should use this product and in the next five you'll see why this is going to be a globally successful tool that will disrupt the entire space. I'm the CTO at my company and we're constantly looking for tools to save us time, make us more efficient, and increase our value. I've never had a demo for something, then practically begged to sign up right then and there. They have such a talented team, good long-term strategy, and quality product it's going to be fun to watch them change how everyone currently thinks about this.

CONS

That I didn't find out about it sooner! After the demo I didn't have many questions about things I'd maybe want to see in the future and he had already thought of them

Vendor Response

Hey Will, This may well be the best review we've had so far - thank you so much for taking the time to give us this feedback, the fact Pinpoint has resonated so well with you and the team at Container Lab is awesome and is something for us to be super proud of. Thanks as always, The Pinpoint Team

Product Review

The support and guidance that Pinpoint has provided us has been first class. They have supported us every step of the way right from pulling the business case together to training our people and continue to provide ongoing support to us. The feedback from our business on the software has been very positive. Pinpoint work in a very collaborative way and listen to our ideas and requirements and wherever possible provide a solution. The main driver for us for this solution was to reduce our time to hire, provide a better experience to our candidates and hiring managers, and reduce our reliance on agencies. After less than a month of having this solution we are already seeing the benefits.

PROS

Provides a great candidate, line manager and HR experience. Look and feel is very modern and easy to use Not only is it a recruitment portal but more important it is a talent sourcing tool

CONS

Nothing so far

Reason for choosing Pinpoint

Confidence we had in Customer Support from Pinpoint and his passion and commitment to working with us to support our Talent Strategy.

Reasons for switching to Pinpoint

The Pinpoint solution was able to provide the the improved experience wee were looking for and support in building our talent pipeline.

Vendor Response

Hey Laura - thanks for your glowing review! We pride ourselves on providing a first-class service so it makes us very happy to hear you say that - I'll pass this onto the rest of the team. It's also great to hear you're seeing such key benefits after only a few weeks of using the software.

Goodbye Recruitment Agencies, Hello Pinpoint!

Really couldn’t fault the customer service we have received, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] have been so helpful and professional throughout the implementation of Pinpoint and onwards.

PROS

Although we are relatively new to using Pinpoint as a recruitment platform, we can see its potential. Our aim over the next year or so is to reduce our reliance on recruitment agencies where possible and build up our talent pipeline so that we are effectively managing our recruitment requirements in-house. It's also great that applicants can speculatively apply even if there are no live vacancies, and Pinpoint manages the GDPR side of things. The customer service is also 5 stars!

CONS

Arranging interviews on the platform may be a bit too time onerous and complicated for Line Managers. At the moment it feels easier to review outlook calendars and send calendar invites the traditional way. Although to be honest, we haven’t utilised this element yet therefore it’s just an observation.

Vendor Response

Hey Louise, thanks for the review! Appreciate the feedback around the Interview Scheduling functionality. Once you're ready to schedule your first interview, we'll get some time in the diary and I'll walk you through it step by step. I'm confident that once you start using it, you'll experience significant time-saving benefits. Great to hear you're happy with the customer service and really looking forward to helping you recruit great people over the coming year.

Recruitment done right

An excellent example of software combined with passionate experience transforming the way recruitment is carried out.

PROS

Pinpoint is so powerfully simple, I was almost embarrassed to admit how much time and effort it has saved. It sorts out every headache recruitment can throw at you. We have a remote team across multiple locations so the ability to manage applications, have all candidate data in a collaborative environment without any worries that GDPR can throw at you is worth it alone, and that’s only scratching the surface. We are lucky enough to have high demand for positions so managing the speculative inbound flow of requests and CVs has always proved a challenge, In terms of time, regulation. And missing or forgetting about that perfect prospect. The candidate pipeline has proven to be the most powerful tool for us, and not one we Had identified needed to be solved. Finally it’s rare that software as a service is delivered with such passionate from the team. I’m used to the heavy contact pre sales world, but woefully used to that stopping the moment you hit sign up now. Pinpoint provide that rate service where you are buying into the software and humanware ecosystem. This is service as a service and the platform is only a piece of the jigsaw. If your used to the old way, or are using some of the more longer established online hr tool providers, i would consider this fresh approach. It really is in a league of its own.

CONS

Have found nothing negative yet. There have been a couple of things such as layout which a conversation with the Pinpoint and it’s either explained or a fix scheduled.

Reasons for switching to Pinpoint

Found previous software just supported me doOMG recruitment the way which i had always done it, but with a slightly different process.. It never felt easier or more efficient, if anything it felt more complicated.

Vendor Response

Hi Andrew - really appreciate your review and all of your detailed feedback. Great to see we're hitting the mark and I hope we continue to do so into the future.

Modern Recruitment

As a small business, using Pinpoint solved a number of problems for us - allowing us to easily manage, rank and filter a large number of applications for a single position. In addition to helping us to filter employees through to interview, the interview management functionality saved us a lot of time. Some of the new features coming online and planned will also offer great time savings as well as potentially helping to improve the quality of candidates recruited - we are keeping an eye on this carefully and will definitely use Pinpoint for our next vacancy.

PROS

For us the biggest pros were the ability to ask applicants to complete screener questions, then to rank and filter them based on the information which they provided - it helped us to whittle them down to a shortlist and save a lot of time.

CONS

We didn't encounter any problems in it's use - and a couple of concerns which we did raise were quickly addressed by the Pinpoint support and development team.

Vendor Response

Hey Matt, thanks for taking the time to leave a review - we really appreciate the feedback. Glad the pre-screening questions are making a big difference to your hiring process and hope that a number of features we've got in the pipeline will make your hiring process even better in the not too distant future!

The team at Pinpoint have been great they have been quick to deal with any questions and have ensured we have had a smooth implementation. They have worked with our internal teams to ensure we were up and running with the software in a few hours. They are keen to listen to any ideas and care about providing our team with a great service.

PROS

The simplicity of the software and the ease of integration is what I like the most about this software. The team were up to speed with little downtime in training and we were able to integrate the software our website within a few hours. The system is easy to use and means you can train hiring mangers in-house in minutes. Using the software to set up pre-screening questions makes shortlist candidates a quicker and fairer process. By utilising this technology it has changed the way my team work and has enabled them to concentrate on value added tasks rather than administration tasks that are onerous.

CONS

I only regret not purchasing this software sooner!

Vendor Response

This is such great feedback - thanks Claire. Really glad you and the team at JEC have had such a good experience rolling Pinpoint out and look forward to working with you all for a long time to come!

Pinpoint review

Pinpoint has helped us speed up the process of recruiting by their easy to use interface. New features such as the Email Template, allows us to send frequently used emails to candidates in bulk within a few clicks. The chat function is monitored very regularly if I ever have a question and the team are always one step ahead of finding ways to improve the software and making our lives easier.

PROS

I like that Pinpoint extracts information from candidates CV's and displays it in the same format for each individual, making it easy to compare lots of different CV's which helps us find the right person for the job. It is very easy to use and keeps all candidates information centralised and organised. Pinpoints interview function has reduced the amount of emails going back and forth to schedule an interview by giving the candidates different interview slots.

CONS

None.

Vendor Response

Thanks so much for leaving this review, so glad Pinpoint has helped you and your team to speed up the process of hiring and glad you're seeing the benefits from some of our newer features as well. All the best, The Pinpoint Team

Excellent recruiting software

The Pinpoint team couldn't be more helpful, all promises have been delivered and they are open to feedback and suggestion. Highly recommended.

PROS

Pinpoint is an amazing piece of technology that has transformed the way in which we manage applicants. It removes many of the administrative risks that exist when manually tracking applicants and candidates and makes the process very straight forward for the hiring manager. It also has some very clever functionality and quirks that standardises applications and this again helps the process.

CONS

Nothing immediately comes to mind, perhaps if it could integrate with our HR system to onboard candidates but suspect that will be one for the future!

Intuitive Software

PROS

The dashboard is great! It makes everything nice and organised and so much easier to manage jobs. I also like that it shows you your active jobs straight away so you don't have to remind yourself which are up and running and which aren't. Overall very user-friendly and easy to use.

CONS

I think the reports could be made a bit clearer, sometimes the figures don't match up and there's no year with the dates so hard to know which month is in which year.

Vendor Response

Thanks a lot for leaving such a positive review. Really glad to hear that Pinpoint has had such a positive impact on your business. Totally understand your view on reporting - we're currently working on a number of additional reports (and improvements to our existing reports) - you'll see these go live in December. If you have specific ideas / thoughts / requirements from a reporting perspective, please feel free to reach out to the team direct with that feedback - we'd love to hear from you. All the best, The Pinpoint Team.

Amazing product spec at such a competitive price point.

An end to inbox-recruiting, and a whole lot of time saved in the process.

PROS

Fantastic interface at front and back ends. Nice optional features to speed up and automate the selection process. Great GDPR solution.

CONS

Excited about what the future release of this product will enable it to do. One thing I'd like to be able to do is to customise the job display list, as tiles rather than a list and with graphical tile-fronts.

Thanks Simon, appreciate your great feedback and look forward to delivering on a number of feature requests you've outlined here in the near future.

PinPoint Review

It's been a huge success internally, in terms of the on-boarding, embedding and daily use. We have cut agency fees and we now know that in the market our brand presence is strong. We've had positive feedback internally from hiring managers and even from candidates within their interviews, "they couldn't believe how easy it was to apply for the role". Overall, we have improved our candidates experience and by the time it comes to interviews the hiring team are also happy as they haven't had to jump through hoops to review CV's or arrange interviews, the progression is live and at their fingertips. The hiring team also really enjoy the fact that they can engage with candidates from the outset and it's empowering for them.

PROS

The software by design is simple to use and visually it's appealing. It's clean and also easy to navigate. I'm yet to come across a reluctant or resistant manager when training and demoing the system to them, they are all keen to embed the system and work with it rather than against it, which makes the entire recruitment process a lot less painful and a more positive experience for all.

CONS

The limitations in terms of design and extracting reports, although I believe that this is something that with time will further develop. It's been great to have been so involved from the outset to help further enhance PinPoint as a product with feedback from the users perspective i.e. adding in "withdrawn" options to candidates applications. The team are receptive to feedback and try to, where possible implement changes to make our lives easier. I would say however, that the chat function may not be fit for purpose in terms of requests. It's great to have a live chat when there is a query, however when using it frequently like I do when I try to look back and find a request or a conversation it's almost impossible. Chats are also sometimes getting missed and not picked up by PinPoint. I'd suggest that any formal requests i.e. social adverts/system enhancements are made via an email function which allows you to then view the audit of the conversation, whether this is integrated into PinPoint or done via Outlook. I think adding this functionality to PinPoint would streamline it though i.e. email the team as you would email a candidate.

Reasons for switching to Pinpoint

Because our existing product was not fit for purpose. It was clunky and delayed the recruitment process by adding in a step for HR to review CV's before the hiring team could have access to them.

The best ATS out there!

PROS

Where do I start? Ease of use? Affordability? Wonderful customer service? Beautiful UX? When I was searching for an ATS for our company, I was almost certainly going to go with an ATS I had already used in the past but saw an ad for Pinpoint and thought: why not? Wow, am I glad I did. Not only did they have everything the other ATS had - their features were better and there were more of them. I am so happy I made the decision to take a chance. I've worked within a few other ATS's in my career and this solution by far blows the competition out of the water.

CONS

There's really nothing to dislike here. Everything I've had a question about/issue with/suggestion for has either been addressed, implemented or changed. The customer support is top notch and you can tell that Pinpoint values their customers feedback. The only thing I think still needs a bit of work is the interview scheduling functionality. More specifically, I would love to be able to see more information about an upcoming interview directly in my calendar vs. just "Interview for X Job Scheduled" with a link. However, this is something I've already suggested to the team.

Top class account management

A high-class team that know how to implement technology at pace and provide the right amount of customer support to stop me thinking about their competitors

PROS

An intuitive system that was so simple to setup and start using straight out of the box. Pinpoint is setup to automate all of the tedious or just repeatable tasks related to applicant management. The account management is stop class and genuinely always on hand to support, even with the questions they've been asked 100x before.

CONS

It's a system with depth. It does a lot of things which, if you spend enough time, you can take real advantage off.

Very user friendly

PROS

The software is easy to use with minimal training. The team at pinpoint are always on hand to help with any questions in a very timely manner. The dashboard home screen is helpful to see all your positions and the number of applicants in one place. The use of automatic emails and templates speed up your time spent on admin during the recruitment process.

CONS

With multiple jobs it would be helpful for when you are setting your availability for interview on the same day to send the same times to all candidates, without being specific to one vacancy when the hiring team remains the same.

Thanks Katie, it's really appreciated! Glad you like the dashboard. We're looking forward to releasing a heap of new features within the dashboard in the coming weeks which we think you'll love! In relation to your point around setting availability across all jobs, rather than separately, we're shortly releasing an update to the calendar synchronisation feature, whereby it will see any unavailable slots in your calendar and make them unavailable for candidates of any job to book. I hope this helps and we'll be in touch when it's ready!
