August 2024 | Product Spotlight

Hi there 👋

I’m Andy Chandler, Pinpoint’s Chief Customer Officer. This month, I’m sharing some helpful updates to our Insights Hub and new functionality I know you’ll be excited to see (job descriptions in requisitions, anyone?). Let’s dive in.

Tailored insights with Workflow Stage Groups

With the Insights Hub, you can already see, for example, how long candidates spend in each stage of the hiring process. While granularity is great, sometimes you want to zoom out and spot patterns or bottlenecks across the organization.

Perhaps you want to tailor your reporting to see patterns in stages owned by particular teams. Or maybe you want to consider interviews as a stage type, no matter what round.

With Workflow Stage Groups, now you can.

Either use the default Groups, which align to existing standard stages like Applied, Review, Interview, and so on. Or create your own, like ‘Initial assessment’ and ‘In-depth interviews’. Then, use these groups to analyze time spent in each group and conversion rates within them.

More flexible reporting

With the release of Workflow Stage Groups, you can create pass-through widgets. These widgets make it easy to track how many candidates advance to each stage across multiple jobs, helping you spot if each screening stage is effectively serving its purpose.

We’ve also introduced several new filters, grouping options, and the ability to filter by custom dates. Some examples include:

• Filtering by workflow stage
• Grouping by hiring or recruiting manager
• Filtering on Interview status

Faster approvals direct via email

To streamline sign-off workflows, individuals can now approve or reject requisitions, jobs, or offers directly via email. This is especially useful for approvers who don’t typically use Pinpoint, allowing them to approve straight from the email notification.

You can tailor how much information is included in the email to match your data protection requirements, and the feature can be disabled entirely if it doesn’t align with your policies.

Job descriptons in requisitions

You can now add rich text job descriptions to requisitions that will map directly to the job when you create it.

These rich text fields are also available for skills, requirements, and benefits.

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make a big difference.

A few more time-savers...

Finally, a couple more tweaks designed to make life easier:

• From the Jobs page, you can now filter interviews based on their status, such as ‘Not Invited’ or ‘Scheduled.’ Plus, you can bulk resend interview invites directly from this page.
• Talent pools can now be created based on answers to application questions. As always, pools are automatically updated when new candidate data becomes available.

And that’s it for this month. We’d love you to get in touch if there’s anything we can help with, or if you have feedback on this latest product update. See you in September for the next one!
