Pin Reviews & Product Details

I find Pin easy to use, and it helps me find candidates quickly for tough roles. It has surfaced candidates I would have missed with a traditional search by picking up on the substance of a person’s experience instead of just their job title. The setup was very easy, and onboarding was great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can’t think of anything I dislike at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Pin to have a very easy-to-use GUI, which makes it simple and intuitive to navigate. The dashboard is very good and provides great analytics. I really enjoy how it's straightforward to learn with no massive learning curve involved. I appreciate that it gives you different ways to set it up, whether you have a job description or just basic profile details from a conversation, or if you need to build a pipeline, you can do it all through Pin. The system is very robust and quickly adapts to the requirements of my clients and the roles I work on, covering both technical and non-technical positions across the board. It allows me to accomplish my tasks very quickly, saving me extensive time compared to the other platforms I have to use for my daily duties. The initial setup of Pin was extremely easy, I would rate it an 11 out of 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes in certain industry sectors, like construction, Pin doesn't have a robust number of candidates it's able to find. It had some challenges finding the types of candidates needed for a friend's search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the filters that Pin provides, which help me narrow down the candidate search based on different criteria. Pin also offers suggestions, which is helpful. A feature I really appreciate is being able to write in and customize what I need to be filtered out, allowing me to get very specific with what I'm looking for in candidates and profiles.

Sometimes when I reject a profile and provide my own feedback on why they're not a fit, I still see the same profiles even after Pin updates based on my feedback. Also, I noticed that Pin counts a lot of internships as part of years of experience, which can alter the profiles I receive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very intuitive. I worked with this team back when they were Intersellar. They are very intuitive and listen to the feedback from recruiters which is rare unfortunately. Many solutions build something without any regard to their end user in this space but feel like suggestions we make are listened to an implemented. It's very seamless and saves me hours a week. The reporting is also great so you can see how you're doing and it's done in such a simple way. Sourcing becomes so much easier and quicker and it frees up so much time.

I can't say too much I dislike. I like that I can see Opens of my emails and my only wish is that maybe can see how many opens so I can prioritize calls accordingly to the hottest signal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Pin really easy to use, even though I'm not a very sophisticated user. Their tech support is particularly good, being very supportive and helpful when needed. Pin is a better platform than what we used before; it's quicker, cheaper, and more accurate. The initial setup was very easy, which I appreciate a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing I don't like about PIN. It's a terrific tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The email feature where Pin sends their profile in a thread so I can maintain a streamlined workflow in my inbox versus switching to a browser to view their Pin or LI profile. I think this feature is amazing and one of the unsung heroes in the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There have been a couple instances where I would duplicate an email campaign and it would freeze, which is frustrating in the middle of a workflow setup. With this, it would be nice if Pin had a Product Feedback portal and ticketing system to track bug and feature requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PIN has become the main sourcing tool for my search firm. It consistently delivers accurate results and adapts to the way I build my searches over time. Additionally, its messaging capabilities are truly best in class.

Having tried several other sourcing tools in the past, I can say that PIN stands out as the most effective—it genuinely helps me make placements. I also appreciate how straightforward it is to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are no downsides to using PIN. I use it every day and plan to continue doing so. They have great customer support. It integrates very easily with any other platform. It's also very easy to get started if you haven't used an AI tool before, period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Pin mainly to source candidates. Its native emailing function and sourcing capability are above and beyond, making it one of the best out there. I've successfully made placements and stayed connected with people through it, and it has a reach comparable to any other rec tech tool. A major plus is that they continuously improve, and their customer service is impeccable, thanks to Jake. I also appreciate the reasonable aspect of it, and I recommend Pin for anyone looking for a strong sourcing tool that doesn't ruin relationships with candidates or harm your IP reputation regarding emails. It's great that I can import job details from a URL, which is a handy feature. The AI-generated search within Pin is impressive, allowing modifications and offering many specific variables. The sourcing capability lets me choose between broad or very specific searches, and they've even implemented some of my suggestions. The sequencing tool stands out with its powerful LinkedIn integration, though being mindful of LinkedIn's limitations is necessary. Email and text sequencing is straightforward, and I find the phone lookup useful, even at extra credit cost. Overall, it's really great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the automatic email sequencing in Pin emails a candidate who has already said no or isn't interested, which could be improved. The only issue I've had is extra emailing from sequencing not finishing what it should. And, you know, the fact that I can't use text. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I truly appreciate the follow-up feature of Pin, which has significantly enhanced my recruitment process by allowing me to thoughtfully follow up with potential candidates. This has led to responses that I previously wasn’t getting. Furthermore, I love the AI features integrated into Pin, particularly the ability to make geographical or skill set modifications seamlessly. Even being technically challenged, I find myself learning and adapting to these features, which have become invaluable in sourcing and placing candidates efficiently. The fact that I've successfully sourced and placed two candidates within five months reaffirms the product's return on investment, motivating me to continue using Pin and renewing my membership.

I find it tricky at times to use Pin as someone who is technically challenged. They logic with key words is hard for me to grasp. Moreover, it does not integrate with my ATS, Top Echelon, which complicates my workflow. I wish the search process could be a little easier and that Pin could integrate with Top Echelon software.
