Keep every company moving, without losing oversight

Portfolio reporting

Pinpoint gives operating partners a live dashboard of hiring performance across every portfolio company: time-to-hire, source effectiveness, pipeline volume, and offer acceptance rates, without chasing reports from each company individually. Track which companies are building teams effectively, where support is needed, and where hiring is creating operational risk.

Shared talent pools

Build shared talent pools across your firm or portfolio, so strong candidates are never lost. Pinpoint surfaces the right candidates when roles open, making it easy to re-engage quickly instead of starting from zero.

Branded careers sites

Pinpoint gives each portfolio company its own branded, mobile-friendly careers site that reflects their identity and culture. You can also aggregate roles from across the portfolio into a single careers site, letting candidates view and apply to positions at multiple companies and re-engaging candidates whose desired role is not open at one company but might be at another.

Role-based access

Pinpoint's access model lets operating partners see hiring activity and performance data across every portfolio company from a single view. Each company's hiring team sees only its own roles and candidates. Individual accounts can be set up per company, shared across the portfolio with brand customization, or configured as a hybrid, depending on how your firm prefers to operate.

Yes. Pinpoint is well-suited to firms where a small, senior team is making high-stakes hiring decisions — investment roles, operating partners, and portfolio company leadership. You don't need a large HR function to use it well. The platform is straightforward to set up and manage.

Yes. Pinpoint lets you create separate hiring workspaces for each portfolio company you're supporting. Each portco has its own roles, pipelines, and access controls. You manage them all centrally, and each company gets a professional hiring process without needing to build their own HR infrastructure.

Most firms are live within a few weeks. We configure your workflows, access controls, and any compliance integrations before your first role goes live. Setup is straightforward for teams that hire selectively rather than at high volume.

Access to any role or candidate list in Pinpoint can be restricted to named users only. For a partner-level search or a sensitive portco appointment, only the people you specify can view the shortlist or take action. Nobody outside that group sees the role exists, and access is controlled entirely by your admin.

Yes. Pinpoint integrates with Certn for background checks, reference verification, and screening across 193+ countries. For investment roles and senior portco appointments where candidate due diligence is important, checks are triggered from the candidate record at the right stage and results are linked back automatically.

Yes. Every score, note, and decision is logged against the candidate record in Pinpoint. For senior appointments where you might need to explain a hiring decision to an LP, co-investor, or board, the structured record is already there without anyone needing to reconstruct it after the fact.

Pinpoint gives portcos a structured hiring process without requiring a dedicated HR team to run it. You set up the workspace for them, configure the workflows, and give the founding team or COO access to manage their own hiring. They get the same professional process your firm uses without any of the setup overhead.

Yes. Each portco you support in Pinpoint has its own separate workspace with its own roles, pipelines, and access controls. There's no crossover between portcos, and each company's candidates, decisions, and records are entirely separate from the others.

Yes. Pinpoint's reporting gives you visibility of hiring activity at firm level and at each portfolio company. You can see time-to-hire, source-of-hire, and pipeline status across the roles you're managing, whether that's at your own firm or across the companies in your portfolio.
