Creating jobs with Pin

Add draft jobs or generate parts of your job listings with a single question

Written by Lia Bartosz

Pin (formerly Hiring Copilot) can help you draft a job (or sections of it) for you from a short brief. Everything it produces is a draft, so you can review it, edit anything you like so it sounds more you, and publish it when you're ready.

✅ Permissions

Pin needs to be enabled for your account. You'll also need Access Pin and Create and manage jobs permissions to use this feature.

ℹ️ Note

Before you ask Pin to create a job, make sure the location and department you need are set up in Pinpoint. If the combination you need isn't set up yet, ask an admin to add it first.


Drafting a job section

To draft a job section:

  1. Create a new job.
    Alternatively, you can edit an existing job.

  2. Go to a section to draft.

  3. Click the AI button.
    ​

  4. Select Draft with Pin.
    You can also click the option next to 4. Description to draft all sections at once.
    ​

  5. Review the proposed draft.
    You can make changes directly in Pin.

  6. Click Add to job once you're happy.
    ​

  7. Complete the rest of the job form.

  8. Click Publish job or Save changes.


Drafting a job

To draft a job:

  1. Open Pin.
    ​

  2. Ask it to create a new job.
    For example, "Create a job for a Marketing Manager in our London office."

  3. Pin will suggest a draft for the job.
    ​

  4. Ask for changes as needed.
    ​

  5. Click Confirm once you're happy with the draft.
    ​

  6. Complete the rest of the job form.

  7. Click Publish job or Save changes.

ℹ️ Note

Pin may ask you one or two short questions to fill in the gaps, such as seniority or must-have skills if it can't infer them from the job configuration. Answer them to get a better draft!


Fine-tuning a job section

To fine-tune a section:

  1. Click the AI button.

  2. Select one of the options.
    ​

  3. Pin will make the change live in the section.

  4. Review the proposed draft.

  5. Click Publish job or Save changes.


Getting the best results

We've put together some tips you can follow to get better job draft results out of Pin.

Give Pin the details up front.

Mention things like the team, seniority, location, working pattern, and key skills. The more Pin knows, the better the first draft.

Adjust the length section by section.

Click Make shorter to tighten a section that’s too long, or Make longer to add detail to one that’s too short.

Add the specifics yourself.

Pin only includes details you give it, so add an exact salary, perks, or anything else it can’t know.


Troubleshooting

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

Check that you have the Access Pin permission. If you have the permission and still don't see it, the feature may not be switched on for your organisation.

Contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM) to double-check this.

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

Your organization's monthly AI allowance for Pin has been used up. It resets at the start of the next month.

If you need more, contact your CSM.

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.

Pin 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.


Frequently Asked Questions

Does Pin publish the job for me?

No. Pin only ever creates a draft. You review it and publish it yourself to make sure you can check for any errors.

Does it fill in everything on the job?

On the form, Draft with Pin writes the four text sections (description, key responsibilities, skills and benefits). 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.

Does Pin use our candidates' information to write a job?

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

Can I change the tone or style?

Pin tries to match the style of your existing jobs, but you can fine-tune the draft and edit the text freely as needed to make further tweaks.
