## What Pin sells

"The AI Recruiting Platform That Fills Your Pipeline While You Sleep." Pin sells AI sourcing over 850M+ profiles, AI-written multichannel outreach, interview scheduling and a pipeline CRM to recruiters, founders and staffing agencies. Paste a job description and Pin returns a ranked list. Its new Autopilot agent answers candidate replies and books interviews. Recruiters choose how much Autopilot handles, from reviewing drafts to full autonomy, and answer the questions it escalates. It plugs into 120+ ATSs rather than replacing them. [1][2][4][5][6]

**Its AI.** AI ranks candidates against the job, writes each outreach step, and Autopilot handles replies, answers candidate questions from a Knowledge Base and books interviews; an MCP server lets recruiters drive Pin from Claude or ChatGPT. [2]

The AI capabilities it sells today, as the map reads its site: named agents, candidate chat, screening and ranking, MCP and agent APIs, AI outreach, scheduling and AI sourcing [2].

## Where Pin fits in hiring

Core means the product is built on that stage of hiring. Partial means the stage is there but secondary. Not found means the map did not find it on Pin's own site.

| Stage | Pin | What the stage covers |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Core | Find and attract candidates: sourcing, job ads, career sites, CRM, outreach. |
| Screen | Partial | Decide who moves on: resume review, matching, chat screening, AI interviews, assessments. |
| Interview | Partial | Run the interviews: scheduling, interview intelligence, notes, scorecards. |
| Hire | Not found | Close and start: offers, background checks, onboarding, compliance, HR records. |
| Report | Not found | Report on hiring and the workforce: recruiting analytics, people analytics, workforce planning. |

The map's fit note: General-purpose; no hourly, technical-assessment or compliance features shown on vendor pages. [2]
