Pinpoint was founded in 2017 with the simple mission of building a better ATS. Recruitment software at the time created bad behaviors and experiences, forcing TA teams to choose between flexibility and ease of use. Since then, Pinpoint has become the ATS of choice for global brands, supporting complex hiring with the flexibility, control, and ease of use needed to recruit effectively in 50+ countries. Today, customers process 8.5 million candidate experiences monthly. Our mission remains the same: to help the right company pinpoint the right person, who will end up loving their job.
