Pinpoint's New Workflow Automations: What This Means for Talent Acquisition & HR Teams

In today's competitive talent landscape, efficiency is everything. We at Udder are excited to share our perspective on Pinpoint's newest feature: Workflow Automations, launching the week of April 7th 2025. This powerful addition to Pinpoint's ATS platform shifts automation from individual job level to a comprehensive, organisation-wide approach—a game-changer for recruitment teams everywhere.

Beyond Job-Level Automation: A New Paradigm

Some ATS platforms limit automation to individual job postings, creating inefficiencies for companies managing multiple roles across different departments and regions.

Pinpoint's new Workflow Automations feature transforms this approach by enabling recruitment workflows that function across your entire organisation, delivering:

• Unified candidate experiences regardless of role
• Standardised processes ensuring compliance
• Cross-functional visibility keeping stakeholders informed
• Scalable solutions growing with your hiring needs

Freeing Up Time for High-Value Work

What makes this new feature truly compelling is how it liberates TA professionals from repetitive tasks like application screening, candidate communications, and task management. These activities now run automatically in the background, allowing your team to focus on work that requires human judgment:

• Building meaningful candidate relationships
• Conducting insightful interviews
• Developing employer branding strategies
• Partnering with hiring managers on talent planning

Practical Applications

Based on Pinpoint's templates and our early insights, here are powerful ways organisations can implement this new feature:

1. Intelligent Application Screening: Automatically assess applications based on key criteria, routing candidates appropriately without manual intervention.
2. Streamlined Job Launch Management: Orchestrate the entire job launch process by automatically assigning critical tasks to relevant stakeholders.
3. Proactive Talent Pipeline Engagement: Automatically nurture relationships with strong candidates who aren't right for current openings.
4. High-Volume Application Management: Manage application thresholds, candidate communications, and follow-ups for popular roles without overwhelming your team.

The Human Element

Importantly, this new feature isn't designed to remove human interaction from recruitment. Rather, it elevates the human elements by eliminating administrative burden, allowing TA professionals to focus on meaningful candidate interactions and strategic decisions.

Getting Started

Pinpoint has developed ready-to-use templates that work immediately with no technical expertise required. Users can use pre-built templates, customise existing ones, or build completely custom automations from scratch.

Conclusion

As Pinpoint partners, we at Udder are genuinely excited about this new Workflow Automations feature. In a landscape where TA professionals must do more with less, this innovative solution makes recruitment more efficient, effective, and human-centred. We look forward to helping our clients leverage this powerful new capability to transform their recruitment processes and achieve their hiring goals.
