Four ways a working desk actually uses Pin.
Every scenario below comes from a real Pin customer — solo desks, small agencies, and larger teams alike. No composite personas.
Running 20 open searches simultaneously
Solo recruiters and small agencies handling a full desk rely on Pin's shared pipeline to keep every candidate status visible — without the context-switch tax of a spreadsheet workflow. Stale-candidate alerts catch momentum gaps before clients do.
Replacing LinkedIn Recruiter to protect margins
LinkedIn Recruiter seats can eat 30%+ of a junior recruiter's annual margin. Pin's multi-source data — LinkedIn, GitHub, Stack Overflow, patents, publications — covers the same profile surface for a fraction of the cost.
Winning niche or retained searches faster
Executive and niche agencies compete on speed to candidate. Pin's natural-language search surfaces specialists that traditional boolean queries miss, and automated outreach reaches them before competitors even build a list.
Scaling the desk without hiring more recruiters
Automated outreach plus AI scheduling frees 12 hours per recruiter per week — the equivalent of 1.5 extra workdays reclaimed for client calls and submittals. Agencies scale billings without adding headcount.
From search brief to placement in five steps
- 01
Take the search brief
Paste the job description or client brief directly into Pin. Pin extracts the role, seniority, skills, and must-haves so the AI is aligned with the client requirement from the first search.
- 02
Source a shortlist in minutes
Pin scans 850M+ profiles across LinkedIn, GitHub, Stack Overflow, patents, and the broader web. Natural-language search replaces boolean strings, so you surface specialists traditional sourcing tools miss.
- 03
Launch multi-channel outreach
Pin builds personalized sequences that send email automatically and queue AI-drafted LinkedIn and SMS tasks for the recruiter, with 5x better response rates than industry averages. Messaging adapts per candidate without a human writing each variation.
- 04
Schedule calls automatically
AI handles calendar sync and candidate back-and-forth. Candidates book interviews directly on your calendar, and you get Slack or email notifications when a call is confirmed.
- 05
Track placements in the CRM
Pin's multi-client recruiting CRM runs a Kanban pipeline with custom stages per engagement. Stale-candidate alerts keep momentum across 10+ concurrent searches, and candidates sync into your ATS at the trigger you set per job.
Pin vs. the typical agency tech stack.
Running an agency means every hour not spent on submittals is margin lost. Pin replaces LinkedIn Recruiter and a separate outreach sequencer with one platform priced like a single SaaS seat, and syncs candidates into the ATS or CRM your agency already runs.
Pin users report 12 hours per recruiter per week reclaimed, a 90% reduction in manual sourcing time, and 5x better outreach response rates. For retained, contingent, and staffing firms, Pin is the first AI recruiting platform that actually scales the desk instead of adding to the tool sprawl.
Pin is an absolute money maker for recruiters… in 6 months I can directly attribute over $250k in revenue to Pin.

How much does recruiting agency software cost?
Pin has a Free plan at $0, free forever with no credit card. Solo is $100/mo billed annually, Professional is $135 per user/mo billed annually or $179 per user/mo month-to-month, and Enterprise is custom-priced.

What is the best recruiting software for staffing agencies?
Pin is the highest-rated AI recruiting platform on G2 (4.8/5) and is purpose-built for agencies, including multi-client pipeline management, placement tracking, and integrations with Bullhorn, Loxo, and Crelate. 91% of Pin users reduced or eliminated their LinkedIn Recruiter spend after switching.
How do recruiting agencies use AI?
Agencies use AI for four workflows: candidate sourcing (scanning multi-source databases to find fit), outreach (multi-channel sequences that adapt to each candidate), scheduling (AI coordinates calendars), and pipeline triage (stale-candidate alerts, match scoring). Pin handles all four in one platform.
Can Pin replace LinkedIn Recruiter for my agency?
Yes — 91% of Pin users reduced or eliminated LinkedIn Recruiter spend. Pin covers the same candidate surface (plus GitHub, Stack Overflow, patents, and publications) with comparable 100% North America and Europe coverage, at a fraction of the cost.
Does Pin integrate with Bullhorn, Loxo, Crelate, or JobAdder?
Yes. Pin has native integrations with Bullhorn, Loxo, Crelate, JobAdder, Recruit CRM, TrackerRMS, and 120+ other ATS/CRM platforms. For each job, you choose when candidates sync from Pin into your ATS: when contact info is found, on the first message, on a reply, or on an interested reply. Pin checks for duplicates before creating a record. To bring existing ATS candidates into Pin, import them by CSV; with Crelate and JobAdder you can also include or exclude your ATS candidates when searching in Pin. ATS integration is an add-on on Solo and Professional and included on Business.
Can one Pin account support multiple agency clients?
Yes. Pin's multi-client pipeline separates candidate pools, outreach sequences, and reporting by client engagement. Single login, multiple concurrent searches, no double-counting of candidates across clients.
How does Pin help with placement fees and commission tracking?
Pin's recruiting CRM includes custom pipeline stages you can map to your fee structure (engaged, shortlisted, submitted, interviewed, offered, placed). Combine with any ATS integration for an end-to-end placement-to-invoice flow.
Is Pin better for retained search or contingent search?
Both. Retained agencies use Pin for niche specialist sourcing and executive-level discretion. Contingent agencies use Pin for speed-to-submit across high volume. Nick Poloni (Cascadia Search Group) closed over $1M in billings in 4 months using Pin solo.
How long does it take for an agency to see results with Pin?
Most agencies make their first candidate submission within a week of starting with Pin. Rich Rosen (Cornerstone Search Associates) attributed $250K in revenue to Pin in 6 months working a retained executive search desk.
Is Pin SOC 2 compliant? How is candidate data handled?
Pin is SOC 2 Type 2 certified with client-level data encryption at rest and in transit, strict access controls, and GDPR compliance for UK/EU placements. Full compliance documentation is available at trust.pin.com.
Does Pin offer a free trial for agencies?
Pin goes further than a trial: the Free plan is free forever with no credit card required. Source candidates, send email outreach, and test the platform on a live search before upgrading to a paid plan. For a 7-day unlimited trial of the full platform, talk to a member of our Sales team.
How is Pin different from legacy sourcing tools agencies already use?
Legacy sourcing tools are LinkedIn-only and require manual boolean strings plus separate outreach software. Pin combines multi-source sourcing, outreach sequences, AI scheduling, and a recruiting CRM in one platform that syncs candidates into your ATS, replacing LinkedIn Recruiter and a separate sequencer at a fraction of the combined cost.
