Create job content with Hiring Copilot

Written by Emilia Carvell

When you create or edit a job in Pinpoint, the AI Hiring Copilot can write the job content for you. You can Draft with Copilot straight on the job form to generate the four written sections of your job ad, or ask the Copilot chat to create a whole draft job from a short brief. Everything Copilot produces is a draft — you review it, edit anything you like, and publish it yourself.

Before you start

You will need the "Access the AI Hiring Copilot" permission to use Copilot on the job form. This can be granted by a company admin in Company > User Management > Permissions

  • To ask the chat to create a job, you also need permission to create jobs in Pinpoint — the same permission you'd need to add a job manually.

  • Is it switched on? The AI Hiring Copilot is switched on by Pinpoint. If you don't see the Draft with Copilot button or the Copilot chat, contact your Pinpoint Customer Success contact to have it enabled.

  • One thing to set up first (for the chat): when you ask Copilot to create a job, the location and department you choose must already exist in Pinpoint. If the combination you need isn't set up yet, ask an admin to add it first.


How to draft job sections with Copilot

Step 1: Open a job and start drafting

On a new or existing job, click Draft with Copilot. To draft just one section, open the AI menu on that section's toolbar and choose Draft with Copilot.

Step 2: Describe the role

In the panel that opens, type a short description of the role — for example, "Senior Product Designer for our remote design team." Then press Enter to send.

Step 3: Answer any quick questions

Copilot may ask you one or two short questions to fill in the gaps (such as seniority or must-have skills). Answer them to get a better draft. Copilot keeps questions to a minimum.

Step 4: Review the drafted sections

Copilot writes the four sections — Job Description, Key Responsibilities, Skills, Knowledge & Expertise, and Job Benefits — directly into your form. Read them through and edit anything you want to change.

Step 5: Fine-tune a section (optional)

To adjust a section, open the AI menu on its toolbar and choose Make shorter, Make longer, or Check spelling. Copilot updates just that section.

Step 6: Finish and publish

Fill in the rest of the job details as normal (such as location, department, and salary), then publish the job when you're ready. Copilot never publishes a job for you.


How to ask Copilot to create a job

Step 1: Open the Copilot chat

Open the Copilot chat panel and ask it to create a new job — for example, "Create a job for a Marketing Manager in our London office."

Step 2: Give Copilot the details

Copilot asks for what it needs — the role, the location and department, and any other essentials — and may suggest content based on your existing job ads. Answer its questions.

Step 3: Confirm and create

Copilot confirms what it's about to create, then creates a draft job for you. Open the draft from the link it gives you.

Step 4: Review and publish

Check the populated job form, edit anything you need to, and publish the job yourself.

Tips

  • The more you tell Copilot about the role up front, the better the first draft — mention the team, seniority, location or working pattern, and the key skills.

  • Copilot matches the style of your existing job ads, so it gets more "on brand" the more jobs you have in Pinpoint.

  • Use Make shorter to tighten a section that's run long, or Make longer to add detail to a thin one.

  • Copilot won't invent things like an exact salary or specific perks you haven't mentioned — add those yourself.


Troubleshooting

I can't see the Draft with Copilot button or the Copilot chat.

Check you have the Access the AI Hiring Copilot permission (ask your admin to grant it under User Management > Permissions). If you have the permission and still don't see it, the feature may not be switched on for your organisation — contact your Pinpoint Customer Success contact.

I see "You have reached your monthly AI usage limit."

Your organisation's monthly AI allowance for the Hiring Copilot has been used up. It resets at the start of the next month. If you need more, contact your Pinpoint Customer Success Manager.

I see "Your AI session expired. Please try again."

Your session timed out after a period of inactivity. Just try the action again — it refreshes automatically.

Copilot says the location/department isn't valid when I ask it to create a job.

That location and department combination hasn't been set up in Pinpoint yet. Ask an admin to add it, then try again.


FAQs

Q: Does Copilot publish the job for me?

A: No. Copilot only ever creates a draft. You review it and publish it yourself.

Q: Does it fill in everything on the job?

A: On the form, Draft with Copilot writes the four text sections only — you fill in the rest (location, department, salary, screening questions). When you ask the chat to create a job, it can pre-fill more of the form, but it still creates a draft for you to check.

Q: Does Copilot use our candidates' information to write a job?

A: No. It works from the role details you give it and your own existing job ads.

Q: Can I change the tone or style?

A: You can use Make shorter, Make longer, and Check spelling on any section, and you can edit the text freely. Copilot also tries to match the style of your existing job ads.
