Pinpoint

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

It suits our unique needs! We're able to keep track of all of our portfolio company hiring in one place.

Inconvénients

There are still a lot of manual aspects to pinpoint, particularly in the sourcing and scheduling functions. There have also been some issues integrating with LinkedIn properly.

Avantages

Very easy to use, customer service is great. Online support is very helpful.

Inconvénients

Sometimes had to add or take away items from prepopulated questions. Had a problem with interviewer seeing emails between recruiter and applicant and could not figure out how to fix.

Avantages

Aesthetically pleasing look.
That's all for now.

Inconvénients

Missing A LOT of basic functions.
Improvements take a very long time to be made.
Poor customer service chat with Emilia. (Doesn't respond)
Nearly been with Pinpoint for 1 year, didn't even know we had an account manager, didn't bother to introduce himself until recently.

Avantages

Pinpoint is incredibly user-friendly. The user interface is intuitive, and both hiring managers and candidates find it easy to navigate. Communicating well with our candidates through the ATS has enabled us to get ahead and snap up key talent.

Inconvénients

I'd like to be able to move from one candidate to another more quickly, perhaps a forward arrow to jump to the next candidate in the pile?

Avantages

The top three things I like most about pinpoint. #1 The way it is visually organized and its ease of use. You can easily customize the process to your liking and it doesn't look or feel like a 1990's program while doing so. #2 The customer service is on point. As the company grows I am introduced to new people and everyone continues to be extremely helpful and quick to respond. #3 The system continues to evolve for the better. They are always making advancements to the program and introducing new features, which I love.

Inconvénients

It has a few limitations, but they are constantly updating the system to address these limitations and make the program easier to use and more bespoke to each users needs.

Pourquoi passer à Pinpoint

Avantages

What i like most about Pinpoint is its quick access, and navigation on the hiring process.

Inconvénients

Theres nothing i like least about Pinpoint but, if i could recommend something it would be less questions.

Avantages

Pinpoint offers a very intuitive and easy-to-navigate interface, making it simple to manage candidates and job postings.

Inconvénients

The mobile interface could be more polished for better usability on the go.

Avantages

With Pinpoint, hiring new talent is easy and the software is awesomely reliable.
I like that it makes hiring process easy and this ensures we get to onboard the best team.

Inconvénients

No second thoughts about Pinpoint. It always delivers.

Avantages

What I love the most about pinpoint is the fact that it allows me see candidates application history, helps me better manage against discrimination and has given me a fantastic pool of talents.

Inconvénients

Absolutely nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Inconvénients

Would like to be able to customise the dashboard but this isn't a huge problem

Pourquoi passer à Pinpoint

Avantages

Pinpoint has modernised our recruitment overnight, we have already had positive feedback from our management team. Pinpoint is easy to use and has enabled us to streamline our recruitment process and improve communication with our candidates. Pinpoint not only provides a platform for recruitment administration but also gives us the opportunity to promote our brand and proactively attract candidates.

Inconvénients

Currently we are unable to see if a candidate has received correspondence without clicking into each person, we are actively working with pinpoint to improve the visibility.

Avantages

Having spent many years and significant OpEx relying on agents to source appropriate personnel with the skillset and personality fit for our business, Pinpoint provides a fresh and disruptive approach to talent acquisition that places the talent at the centre of the process and in so doing unearth candidates that might otherwise remain with their current employer. Automated headhunting for a fraction of the cost!

Inconvénients

Product relies on talent accessing online channels such as social media to be most effective and this may discount very senior (age) or computer shy individuals that may otherwise be candidates of merit for a particular. However, this is a very small minority of the candidate universe that will only decrease over time given global digitisation.

Avantages

The user interface is very user friendly and provides valuable and concise data for the employer when reviewing applications. In addition, the advertising of roles on social media appears to be effective.

Inconvénients

I haven't noticed any glaring issues, the only issue some may have is web browser support, however, I suspect this is more due to certain browsers being outdated.

Avantages

Location satellite view. Easy to work with.

Inconvénients

Cloudy days can skew results. About a 5 minute delay from real time.

Avantages

I liked the way that Pinpoint collated the information from the submitted resumes' and applied them in a logical order outlining the compatibility of the skills to the role.

Inconvénients

I am not sure that there was anything that I didn't like about it, it was clever, intuitive and functional, what is not to like?

Avantages

Viewable online and therefore outside of work was useful
Ability to see all candidates in one place
Ability to see comments from others, status etc

Inconvénients

Unable to print application tab

Didn't see the value of this if its not to be trusted?......... Note: The content on this page is curated from an interpretation of the resume, and as such it may contain incomplete or misinterpreted information

Avantages

Straightforward and easy to use, does exactly what it should and more...

Inconvénients

Nothing. Just wish we had it a long time ago!

Avantages

I think Pinpoint is an excellent product, but I have marked it down for the thing that makes it excellent. When so many products offer flexibility and functionality they become too complex to configure and use. You quickly find that all those variables are just too difficult to manage and maintain. Pinpoint does exactly what is promises, simply, easily and quickly. This is the tool to use if you want to spend your time running a business and not running an HR Department.

Inconvénients

If you are an HR Expert who wants explore all the permutations then perhaps Pinpoint straight-forward approach is not for you.

Avantages

Very straightforward, easy to use, logical.

Inconvénients

There is nothing; it's all as/better than expected

Avantages

The ease of use and the support offered by the Pinpoint team.

Inconvénients

Currently I have not experienced any negatives with using the software.

Avantages

The tool is extremely easy to use and the functionality is really good. I like the fact that you can move candidates through the process from application to hire.

Inconvénients

The email templates were not what I would call "professional". However when I raised this issue with Pinpoint, they have worked hard to allow users to build their own templates.
