Pin

Pin is an AI recruiting platform for finding candidates, assessing fit, contacting prospects, and arranging interviews. It is best suited to recruiters, agencies, founders, and hiring teams that want these stages in one workflow. Its breadth is compelling, but the free plan’s small lookup allowance and annual billing on paid seats make it less attractive for occasional sourcing.

Overview

Pin combines candidate sourcing and matching with outreach and interview scheduling, so it is a stronger fit for teams running active searches than for users who need only a standalone database or a single recruiting task. Its aggregated search spans more than 850 million candidate profiles across multiple data providers. The scale is useful for broad searches, while the value of the results still depends on recruiters judging who is right for a role.

Key features

Candidate search and matching

Recruiters can describe a search in natural language, then review candidates ranked by skills, experience, and fit. AI-written reasoning provides context for those rankings, which can help teams assess a shortlist without treating an automated score as the final hiring decision. Pin also supports contact enrichment and bulk export.

Outreach and scheduling

Personalized sequences can run across multiple channels, with candidate replies gathered in a unified inbox. That is more useful to teams managing ongoing outreach than to those who only need contact discovery. Pin also coordinates availability and books interviews automatically, extending the workflow beyond sourcing.

Integrations and security

Pin says it connects with more than 120 ATS platforms, including Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Bullhorn, iCIMS, and Jobvite. Its Chrome extension imports candidate profiles from LinkedIn and the web. A hosted MCP server connects Pin with Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Claude Code, and other MCP-compatible clients, giving teams another route to work with the platform.

Pin says customer data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and its controls are SOC 2 Type 2 audited. Its sourcing page says customer searches are not used to train models. These commitments matter to teams handling candidate information, though they do not replace a buyer’s own review of security and compliance needs.

Pricing

Free

The Free plan costs nothing and is billed free forever. It includes 5 contact lookup credits per week, 1 job position, 1 AI Agent, and email-only sequences. That is enough to explore the workflow or run a very small search, but the weekly lookup cap and single position make it a poor fit for sustained recruiting.

Solo

Solo costs $99 a month per user, billed annually only on annual billing. It provides a single seat, unlimited job positions, 500 contact lookup credits, 2 AI Agents, and multi-channel sequences. It is the entry point for an individual recruiter who needs more than email outreach and a small weekly quota; annual billing is a meaningful commitment for anyone still validating the fit.

Professional

Professional costs $135,179 a month per user, billed annually. It includes 2 AI Agents per user, 1,000 credits per seat per month, team collaboration and a shared inbox, multi-channel sequences, and advanced agent sourcing. The larger quota and shared workflow suit teams coordinating searches, but the listed price is a steep step up from Solo.

Business

Business uses custom pricing for your team. It includes unlimited seats, unlimited contact lookup credits, unlimited AI Agents, premium ATS integrations, and a dedicated account manager. It is aimed at larger teams that need capacity beyond per-seat plans and premium integrations; custom pricing means buyers will need a team-specific quote.

Platforms

Pin is available on the web and through an extension, and it offers an API. The Chrome extension is specifically useful for importing profiles from LinkedIn and the wider web into Pin.

Who it's for

Pin is most compelling for recruiters and agencies with recurring searches, and for founders or hiring teams that want sourcing, contact, and interview coordination in the same platform. The free plan is a low-commitment way to explore it, but its five weekly lookup credits are too restrictive for most active hiring. Teams that only need sourcing, or that cannot justify annual per-user billing, may be better served by a narrower or lower-cost option.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Broad recruiting workflow: Search, matching, outreach, and automatic interview scheduling sit in one product, reducing the need to split those stages across separate tools.
• Large aggregated candidate pool: Search spans more than 850 million profiles across multiple data providers, with natural-language matching and AI-written reasoning to help review results.
• Wide ATS and client connectivity: More than 120 ATS integrations, a browser extension, API, and hosted MCP server offer multiple ways to connect Pin with recruiting systems and compatible clients.
• Clear privacy and security commitments: Pin says it encrypts customer data in transit and at rest, has SOC 2 Type 2 audited controls, and does not use customer searches to train models.

Cons

• Very limited free capacity: Five contact lookup credits per week, one job position, and email-only sequences restrict the free plan to light exploration.
• Annual commitment for paid seats: Solo and Professional are billed annually, which raises the cost of trying Pin for a short-lived or uncertain hiring need.
• Professional is a major price jump: Its listed $135,179 a month per user is far above Solo, even as it adds team collaboration, a shared inbox, and a larger credit allowance.

Alternatives

Consider Hyring if a lower-priced plan and voice-based hiring matter more than Pin’s broader sourcing-to-scheduling workflow: its Free plan offers 50 credits per month, one seat, one active job post, English only, and one AI voice, while Pro costs $79 a month and includes 50 credits per month and five seats.

Tellability is another option for teams comparing credit-based hiring plans. Its Free Pilot costs nothing and includes 50 credits per month, three active job postings, 50 candidate unlocks per month, and up to 15 matched candidates; Growth costs ₹3,999 a month.
