Pinpoint alternative that adds screening without replacing your ATS
Pinpoint is a full applicant tracking system: career sites, job-board posting, interview scheduling, offers, and onboarding, with an AI Candidate Match Score built into the pipeline. If you are shopping for a brand-new in-house ATS to run hiring end to end, Pinpoint is a well-reviewed option, and it prices by quote rather than a public plan, so you request a demo to get a number.
Held for recruiter review · never auto-rejected
Screen the pile to watch Prescreener parse every resume, apply your criteria and knockouts, and rank the inbound applicants with a transparent reason on each.
Live, interactive · AI assists, you decide · no signup needed
AI assists · you decide · bias-audited (EEOC / NYC Local Law 144)
Pinpoint is a full ATS you adopt to run hiring end to end. Prescreener is a screening layer that ranks your inbound pile and runs alongside the ATS you already have, with published pricing and a human in the loop.
But many teams evaluating Pinpoint alternatives do not actually want to rip out and replace their whole hiring system. They already run Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, or Ashby, their pipeline and integrations work, and the real pain is a single step: reading and ranking the flood of inbound resumes on each req. Replacing an entire ATS to fix one step is expensive and slow. Prescreener is a focused screening layer, not another ATS. It reads every inbound resume, applies your knockout and eligibility criteria, asks short screening questions, scores role-fit, and ranks the pile with a transparent reason on each candidate, then hands the shortlist back to the ATS you already run. It publishes its pricing openly, discloses AI use to candidates, is bias-audited to support EEOC standards and NYC Local Law 144, and ranks and flags for a recruiter rather than auto-rejecting anyone.
