Some customers report that reporting can be limited or hard to customize, and that fuller customizable reporting may carry an added cost.
Post-hire talent management
Focused on pre-hire by design. Pinpoint pairs with the HRIS you already run for performance, learning, and compensation, so hiring goes deep and the lifecycle stays covered.
Includes native performance management, engagement surveys, learning (LMS), and compensation modules, one vendor for the full employee lifecycle. A genuine strength for buyers who want that in a single system.

Why Pinpoint is a strong ClearCompany alternative for TA teams being asked to do more with less

Adoption across your whole hiring team
Pinpoint is designed to be intuitive for recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates. That matters more than ever today, because when the whole team works in the system, your data is complete and accurate, which makes it easier to use automation and AI to drive efficiencies safely at scale.
A platform that evolves with you
Implementation isn't one-and-done. As the market, your organization, and Pinpoint's product change, the platform keeps pace, with ongoing support from Pinpoint's team. Every configuration option (workflow, automation, report, template, form) is yours to change whenever you like, with or without help. Pinpoint's designed to make evolving your platform easy.
More of hiring, in one platform
Pinpoint brings more of the pre-hire process together natively: background checks, one-way video, reference checks, transcription, SMS, recruitment CRM, complex interview scheduling, careers website, and so on. The result is broader native capability, so there are fewer systems to learn, fewer handoffs, and a full picture of hiring inside the ATS, which makes reporting, automation, and AI easier to scale while keeping the candidate experience personal.

Powerful, native new-hire onboarding
Flexibility and control, in your hands
A strong foundation for AI
A candidate experience that converts
Service and partnership that lasts past go-live

A broad all-in-one pre-hire platform

Pinpoint covers the full pre-hire process in one system: Plan, Attract, Engage, Select, Onboard. It is one of few ATSs to include native background checks, one-way video interviews, reference checks, and interview transcription within the suite. Fewer tools to license, integrate, and maintain, and one clean dataset instead of a dozen.

Powerful, native new-hire onboarding

Onboarding lives in the same platform as the rest of hiring, so offers flow into pre-boarding and day one without a handoff to a separate tool. One record, one experience, and continuity from application through to a new hire's first week.

Flexibility and control, in your hands

Pinpoint is deeply configurable, and the control stays with you. Adjust workflows, automations, forms, templates, and reporting yourself, whenever you need, with or without support from the Pinpoint team. Each part of the organization gets a setup that fits how it hires, while consistency and compliance hold across all of it.

A strong foundation for AI

Pinpoint isn't just another ATS with AI. Pinpoint has invested heavily in creating the conditions under which automation and AI deliver: an experience the whole organization adopts, resulting in a completely accurate picture of what's happening stored in the system. That's the data foundation that AI needs to deliver outcomes tailored to your organization.

A candidate experience that converts

A fully customizable careers-site that your team can edit, a candidate-facing chatbot to support career discovery, an application process optimized for conversion, and powerful automations that keep candidates up to date by email and SMS as their application progresses.

Service and partnership that lasts past go-live

A named Customer Success Manager, access to Technical Account Management, and human support that answers in under two minutes on average. Implementation is where the partnership starts, not where the attention stops.

Where Pinpoint wins

Multi-stream hiring across industries

One platform for global corporate, frontline, high-volume, early-career, and experienced hiring, adapting to how each team works without a separate tool for each.

Native pre-hire capabilities

Background checks, one-way video, reference checks, and transcription built in, so more of hiring runs in the ATS instead of across integrations.

Reporting and configuration your team runs itself

Build the reports you need and adjust your setup yourself, whenever your process changes. The control stays in your hands.

Multi-brand, single instance

Separate careers pages, candidate experiences, and workflows per brand in one instance, with reporting and candidate CRM joined up centrally, whether you hire under one brand or many.

Switching from ClearCompany to Pinpoint

Move from ClearCompany without the disruption. Here's how it works, and what comes with you.
How your move works
A planned, assisted migration led by Pinpoint's implementation team. We map your data and processes and keep you hiring throughout. No hiring freeze required.
What comes with you is your choice
You keep your data: candidates, history, and records. You decide what we migrate and what stays behind, so you start on Pinpoint with the information your team actually needs.
More of your hiring runs natively
Once you are live, more of the process consolidates into one platform: background checks, video, references, transcription, and onboarding, instead of a set of integrations to manage.
Support through the move and after
A named CSM and the implementation team stay with you through go-live and beyond, so the change lands with the team and keeps delivering after launch.

ClearCompany Alternative FAQ

The best alternative depends on what you're solving for. If you want one vendor for the whole employee lifecycle, a suite like ClearCompany fits. If your pain is hiring, Pinpoint is the strongest option: a flexible, easy platform your whole team adopts, which produces the complete data your reporting and AI need, paired with your existing HRIS.
Both are capable, enterprise-ready platforms. ClearCompany covers the full employee lifecycle; Pinpoint goes deep on hiring and onboarding. Three differences stand out: ease of use that drives whole-team adoption, self-serve control over your own workflows and reports, and complete, accurate data that makes reporting and AI actually deliver.
Most are being asked to deliver more with the same or fewer resources. They want a platform their whole team adopts, reporting they can trust and adjust themselves, and less manual work.
ClearCompany covers the full employee lifecycle in one system, with native performance management, engagement surveys, learning, and compensation modules. For a buyer who wants hiring and post-hire talent management from a single vendor, that breadth is a genuine advantage Pinpoint doesn't try to match.
The system is highly configurable while remaining easy to use, so your team can create reports and adjust workflows and automations without support tickets. Because it's easy to adopt, your team doesn't build workarounds, so the system holds the full picture of your recruitment process, making reporting more accurate and letting AI and automation deliver safely, effectively, and at scale.
Yes. Pinpoint is built for multi-stream hiring: corporate, frontline, high-volume, early-career, and experienced hires in one flexible platform, with consistency and compliance held across every stream.
Pinpoint runs an assisted, planned migration built into your implementation timeline, with a named implementation manager to support you through the whole process. You can cut over in one move or run both systems in parallel, and your integrations are remapped and tested before go-live.
Yes. Pinpoint serves enterprise, mid-market, and high-volume teams, with a global client base recruiting in 168 countries and rollouts for organizations hiring 15,000-plus people a year. It's certified to ISO 27001, ISO 42001, and SOC 2 Type II, and supports SSO and SCIM.
Yes. Pinpoint migrates your candidate and hiring data: jobs, applicants with their stage and status, talent pools, resumes and files, and historic notes. You choose how much history comes across, from active jobs and recent candidates to full history, and can leave behind records you no longer need.
No. You can run Pinpoint in parallel with ClearCompany so active candidates finish in the old system while new applicants enter Pinpoint from go-live, or do a hard cutover if you prefer. Either way, hiring keeps moving through the switch.
ClearCompany doesn't publish public pricing. Third-party reviews describe a quote-based model priced per employee, so the bill can scale with your total headcount even though only HR uses most features. Pinpoint is also quote-on-request, with no per-user paywall and no cap on hiring managers, so you pay for the hiring platform your team actually uses.
Reporting is only as good as the data underneath it. Because Pinpoint is easy enough that the whole team works in it, the data stays complete and accurate, so reports roll up reliably and you can build and adjust your own whenever you need. Some ClearCompany customers report that reporting can be limited, or carry an added cost to customize fully.
Yes. ClearCompany rebranded to ClearCo in March 2026, positioning itself as an AI- and agent-powered unified talent platform. The company and product are the same, and most buyers and review sites still use the ClearCompany name. Everything on this page applies to both.
