Applicant tracking system for regulated hiring

Hiring that's structured, auditable, and defensible by design

Hiring in regulated environments needs a clear, auditable process. Pinpoint gives you the structure, controls, and audit trail to hire with confidence, plus onboarding to keep every new starter compliant from day one.

Hire faster without cutting corners on compliance

The real tension in regulated hiring is between compliance enforced automatically and compliance that relies on people remembering to do the right thing. Pinpoint removes the reliance on memory.

Background checks, reference stages, right-to-work verification, and regulatory sign-offs are enforced within the workflow, not left to individual discretion. Every mandatory step has a clear owner and a timestamped record of completion.

Every action, communication, and decision stays recorded in one place. When you need to review a hiring process months later, or produce a personnel file for audit, the full decision trail is already there. Nothing needs to be reconstructed.

Scorecards capture every interviewer's feedback against defined criteria. When a hiring decision needs to be explained or defended, you have a clear, consistent record of how and why each candidate was assessed, with no inconsistent notes spread across email threads.

Different roles require different checks. Pinpoint lets you configure workflows so background checks, credential verification, and regulatory declarations happen at the right stage automatically, without requiring your team to manually apply the right process to each role type.

A single dashboard view of every new starter's onboarding progress: what's complete, what's outstanding, and where exceptions need to be managed. Every mandatory step happens before day one, and your team can see exactly where each person stands without chasing.

“Pinpoint is so quick and user-friendly. We have saved so much time on admin since we started using it. I don’t think I could ever go back to our old way of recruiting.”

Katie De Carteret
People & Culture Senior Administrator

Built for regulated hiring, from start to finish

Complete audit trail

Every decision, every communication, every stage transition is logged with a timestamp and an owner. When a regulator or an internal review asks what happened and who approved it, the answer is already in the system. No reconstruction required.

Structured candidate scorecards

When hiring decisions need to be defensible, inconsistent interviewer notes aren't good enough. Pinpoint's scorecards align your panel on what good looks like before the process starts, capture structured feedback during it, and produce a clear record of how each candidate was evaluated. Every interview is purposeful, and no assessor asks the same question twice.

Role-based access and permissions

Sensitive hiring decisions stay with the right people. Pinpoint's permissions model controls exactly who can see, action, or approve each stage of the process, by role, by department, or by seniority level. Central teams set the guardrails; individual recruiters and managers work within them

Pinpoint automates every mandatory pre-start step, tracks completion in real time, and flags exceptions before they become problems. Your team has one clear view of every new starter's status, and nothing gets missed.

Yes. Pinpoint lets you configure entirely different workflows for different role types within the same system. Clinical roles, administrative roles, and leadership positions can each have their own compliance stages, approval chains, and background check requirements, all managed from one platform.

Yes. Pinpoint maintains a complete, exportable record of every candidate's hiring process, including all communications, stage transitions, scorecard feedback, background check outcomes, and onboarding completion. Every action is timestamped and attributed.

Pinpoint's configurable workflows support sector-specific requirements. In UK healthcare, that includes CQC-compliant pre-employment checks. In financial services, FCA registration and fit-and-proper checks. In education, enhanced DBS and safeguarding verification. Your compliance steps are built into the process, not added after the fact.

It can't be. Pinpoint's mandatory stages prevent candidates from progressing until required steps are completed. If an exception needs to be managed, it's flagged visibly and tracked, not quietly bypassed.

Yes. Pinpoint's role-based permissions give you precise control over visibility at every stage. Sensitive candidate data, compensation information, and approval decisions can be restricted to specific roles or individuals, with every access action logged.

Pinpoint's scorecards let you define assessment criteria before the process starts and capture structured feedback from every interviewer. The result is a consistent, comparable, and documented record of how each candidate was evaluated, which holds up to scrutiny whether the review comes internally or externally.
