Pinpoint is an Eploy alternative for teams being asked to do more with less. You get enterprise-grade flexibility and an easy-to-use interface that drives strong adoption across recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates. That foundation lets Pinpoint's deep automation and AI actually deliver. Eploy is flexible and configurable; Pinpoint adds the ease of use, the automation, and the AI surface.
| Pinpoint | Eploy |
|---|---|---|
Best fit | Enterprise, mid-market, and high-volume teams, UK and global, that value UK-based support in addition to global coverage. Best for teams that want to use automation to help them do more with less, ensure strong user adoption, and deliver on compliance with UK, European, and global regulations. | Mid-market and enterprise UK organizations that want a UK-built platform and weight UK public-sector procurement and UK-centric award wins heavily. |
Ease of use | An interface designed for ease of use that drives strong adoption across recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates. Capterra 4.8 / 5, with "Best Ease of Use" and "Best Value" badges. | Award-winning support, and very configurable. Some customers report the interface can carry a steep learning curve and that initial configuration can be time-consuming without ATS experience. Capterra 4.7 / 5. |
Ability to evolve configuration over time | Customers can adjust their own configuration (workflows, forms, templates, reporting) easily at any time, with or without help from Pinpoint's team, as the market and the organization change. | Highly configurable workflows praised across reviews; some customers report that more advanced configuration and custom reporting can require Eploy's professional services. |
Multi-stream hiring | One flexible architecture for corporate, frontline, high-volume, early-career, and experienced hiring in the UK or across multiple regions, plus multiple employer brands in a single instance, with separate careers sites, workflows, and candidate experiences per brand. | Configurable across corporate, customer facing, and high-volume hiring, with multi-brand support. |
All-in-one pre-hire breadth | A comprehensive pre-hire suite across Plan, Attract, Engage (CRM), Select, and Onboard. One of few ATSs to include native background checks, one-way video interviews, reference checks, and interview transcription within the suite, plus native UK right-to-work checks. | Broad suite across ATS, Talent CRM, onboarding, employee referrals, and analytics. Some capabilities Pinpoint delivers natively (background checks, video interviewing, right-to-work checks) require a third-party integration in Eploy, supported by an extensive integration marketplace. |
Automation and AI | A broad, shipping AI surface (AI Hiring Copilot, Candidate Companion, AI Notetaker, AI Scoring, anonymized screening), plus deep workflow automation across tasks, communications, and stages that goes further than most ATSs offer, all built on the complete, accurate data high adoption produces. AI is opt-in, transparent, and human-supervised; your data never trains external models; backed by ISO 42001. | A lighter public AI surface today, centered on name-blind recruitment and a job-description bias tool, with narrower built-in automation. Advanced matching may rely on third-party integrations. |
Independence | A standalone, specialist ATS that integrates with whichever HRIS you run (Workday, Oracle, UKG, ADP), so your hiring platform isn't tied to one HCM vendor's roadmap. | Now part of The Access Group's Access People portfolio (HR, payroll, workforce management, learning) following acquisition. Post-acquisition product and pricing direction is still settling. |
Support | Named Customer Success Manager, Technical Account Management access, and human support answering in under two minutes on average. | Award-winning support: G2 Best Customer Support (Enterprise and Mid-Market), consistently praised across reviews. A genuine Eploy strength. |
Switching and data migration | Migrate your jobs, candidates, pipeline stages, resumes, and notes yourself, or our migrations team does it for you in 15 business days. There's no hiring freeze, we remap and test your integrations before go-live, and you choose what to bring across. | Eploy is a UK-built ATS with CRM, onboarding, and analytics, and data migration is part of its guided implementation. Migration specifics are not publicly documented. |
Pinpoint covers Plan, Attract, Engage, Select, and Onboard in one place, and is one of few ATSs to deliver background checks, one-way video interviews, reference checks, and interview transcription natively within the suite, plus native UK right-to-work checks, capabilities many platforms hand off to integrations. Fewer systems in your stack means fewer integrations to maintain, fewer handoffs, and one source of truth for reporting, automation, and AI.
Pinpoint is deeply configurable: workflows, automations, forms, templates, and reporting are all yours to adjust, with or without help, without waiting in a queue. The difference is that the flexibility comes with an interface real recruiters and hiring managers find easy, so evolving how you work is a lever your team pulls, not a project that needs an expert.
Pinpoint isn't just another ATS with AI; it has invested heavily in creating the conditions under which automation and AI deliver. High adoption and a consistent process produce the complete, accurate data they depend on, with a human in the loop throughout. Deep workflow automation strips out the manual steps that slow hiring, and the AI Hiring Copilot, Candidate Companion, AI Notetaker, and scoring give recruiters real leverage. That's exactly what TA teams need as they're asked to do more with less.
Pinpoint is a standalone, specialist ATS, not a module inside a larger HCM suite. It integrates with whichever HRIS you run so your hiring platform follows your strategy, not one vendor's broader roadmap or licensing decisions. For teams that want their ATS chosen on its own merits, independence is the point.
Pinpoint gives you a full, customizable careers-site CMS with an AI-powered candidate chatbot you control yourself: fast, on-brand careers pages per brand or hiring type, edited with drag-and-drop rather than routed through a vendor's design team. Around 60% of candidates abandon an application that's too long or complex. Pinpoint keeps them engaged, with no need to create an account or log in.
Pinpoint is the strongest Eploy alternative for UK-based or global teams that want enterprise-grade flexibility with a platform that's easy to use and adopt. When recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates all use the system, your data stays complete and accurate: the foundation AI and automation need to deliver. Pinpoint pairs that with a broader native pre-hire suite covering everything from planning, through candidate attraction, CRM, offer management, and new hire onboarding.
Both are capable, enterprise-ready platforms with strong configurability. Three differences stand out: based on public reviews Pinpoint can be easier to use, which drives the adoption that makes data clean enough for automation and AI to actually deliver; Pinpoint delivers far deeper automation and a broader AI; and Pinpoint is a standalone specialist, where Eploy is now part of The Access Group's Access People suite.
Usually because they're being asked to deliver more with the same or fewer resources. They need a tool that's easy to adopt, configuration they can change themselves without professional services, a fuller pre-hire toolkit in one platform, deeper automation and a stronger AI surface to remove manual work, and confidence in a vendor's rapid product evolution and independent direction.
Pinpoint is built so recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates find it intuitive from day one, and it holds Capterra's "Best Ease of Use" badge (4.8 / 5). Eploy is highly configurable with excellent support, but some reviewers flag a steep learning curve and time-consuming initial configuration. Ease of use for all stakeholders is a real strength for Pinpoint.
Yes, for enterprise, mid-market, and high-volume teams. Pinpoint serves a global client base recruiting across 160+ countries, with a track record of rollouts for organizations hiring 15,000+ people a year. It carries ISO 27001, ISO 42001, and SOC 2 Type II, supports SSO and SCIM, includes native UK right-to-work checks, UK (and global) background checks including DBS and enhanced DBS, and integrates deeply with hundreds of tools.
Eploy has genuine UK strengths worth naming. Its customer support is award-winning (G2 Best Customer Support, Enterprise and Mid-Market). It is procurable through the UK public sector via the Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud framework, where Pinpoint is not listed today. For Access Group customers it may well be a strong fit as it becomes increasingly integrated into their broader suite of products.
Pinpoint brings more of pre-hire into one platform natively, is easier to use so adoption is higher, gives your team self-service control over configuration without professional-services tickets, and ships far deeper automation and a broader AI surface today, the leverage teams need to do more with less. It also stays an independent specialist rather than a module in a wider HCM suite.
Yes. Pinpoint runs corporate, frontline, high-volume, early-career, and experienced hiring on one flexible architecture, with multiple employer brands in a single instance if required, with separate careers sites, workflows, and candidate experiences per brand, reporting joined up centrally. That breadth, plus the ease of use that drives adoption, is the core of the multi-stream case.
Switching is guided. You migrate your data yourself with in-platform tools and our API, or Pinpoint's migrations team does it for you in about 15 business days. We remap and test your integrations before go-live, and because more of the pre-hire process runs natively in Pinpoint, there are fewer separate point tools to unwind.
No. Your jobs, candidates and their pipeline stage, talent pools, resumes and files, and historic notes and comments come across, so your team keeps its hiring record. You decide how much history to bring, from active jobs and recent candidates to your full history.
Yes. There's no hiring freeze. You can switch over in one go, or run Pinpoint alongside your current ATS so active candidates finish where they started while new applicants come in through Pinpoint.
Pinpoint and Eploy can both be relevant options for UK-based hiring teams evaluating applicant tracking systems. The right choice depends on the team’s hiring model, workflow complexity, reporting needs, integrations, and how much emphasis they place on candidate experience and employer brand.
When comparing Pinpoint and Eploy, teams should review which HR systems, job boards, assessment tools, background check providers, and reporting workflows need to connect with the ATS. The best fit will depend on the specific tools already used by the hiring team and how easily each platform supports those workflows.
