Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 0 of the 14 other hiring and applicant tracking tools we grade
Pinpoint is an applicant tracking system for in-house talent teams that covers hiring from requisition to onboarding. It runs branded careers sites, job board advertising, a talent CRM, anonymized screening, scorecards and interview scheduling, and gives recruitment agencies a portal of their own. Prices are quoted after a call.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Pinpoint, taken from its own pages and our grades.
But there's no published price and no trial, only a call.
- 1
Best for in-house teams hiring across sites and brands
It suits teams that need an audit trail.
- 2
It runs on Web
Web, with a browser extension too.
- 3
Careers site and job advertising
A branded, multilingual careers site with custom application forms, employee referrals and posting to job boards such as Indeed.
- 4
AI screening tools
AI candidate filters, a criteria checklist, a match score, a hiring copilot and an AI notetaker for interviews.
- 5
Anonymized screening
Anonymized screening for fairer first reviews, with candidate scorecards and interview questions that can be ranked and weighted.
- 6
A 2.0 GPA, above 0 of 14
That is against the other hiring and applicant tracking tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 7
Keep it
To replace Pinpoint you would be making jobs posted to dozens of job boards at once, which takes an agreement with each board. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for in-house teams hiring across sites and brands
Pinpoint covers hiring from the request for a new role to the new starter's first day, with anonymized screening, scorecards and a portal for outside agencies. It suits teams that need an audit trail. But there's no published price and no trial, only a call.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published: Pinpoint gives one after a call about your company and how you hire, so we can't say what a ten-person company pays. With no figure to compare, it's a C. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no free trial. The only way in is a demo call. |
| Features | B | Careers sites, job board ads, a talent CRM, anonymized screening, AI match scores, scorecards, offers, background and reference checks and onboarding, plus approval flows for new roles. The whole job, start to finish. |
| Ease of use | C | No App Store rating on record, and setting up approval flows and agency access takes some planning. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web and a sourcing extension, linked to BambooHR, HiBob, Workday, Rippling, ADP, Indeed, Checkr and Docusign. No phone or desktop app on record. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Pinpoint is for
- Great if several outside agencies send you candidates
- Handy when you hire across several locations or brands
- Good for regulated employers that need every decision on record
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want to see a price or try it without booking a call
- Not for you if you hire twice a year and just need somewhere to keep applicants
- Tight if you want to check it from your phone, as no app is on record
Good to know
Good for
- In-house talent teams hiring across several locations or brands
- Employers in regulated industries that need audit trails
- Companies that work with several recruitment agencies
Worth knowing
- No prices are published: Pinpoint gives a price after a call about your company and hiring process.
- No free trial is offered; the route in is a demo call.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
Pinpoint's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
No price is published: Pinpoint gives one after a call about your company and how you hire, so we can't say what a ten-person company pays.
We could not confirm Pinpoint’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. pinpointhq.com has them.

Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
0/14
Other hiring and applicant tracking tools it is graded above
Pinpoint's GPA of 2.0 is higher than 0 of the 14 other hiring and applicant tracking tools we grade, and level with 5.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Pinpoint you would be making jobs posted to dozens of job boards at once, which takes an agreement with each board. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 9 of the 14 other hiring and applicant tracking tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Applicant tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Jobs posted to dozens of job boards at once, which takes an agreement with each board.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Pinpoint’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
