August 2026 Release - AI usage limits, Notetaker Candidate Consent, improvements to Pinpoint Checks and more

Written by Emilia Carvell

In this August release, we focus on compliance with new UK Right to Work options, DBS and FCRA improvements, plus new and updated TrustID and Sterling integrations. We've also added AI usage visibility, a new Dayforce integration, and a handful of workflow and job board upgrades to help your team move faster.


Job Boards and Posting

Surface Linkedin Posting Errors

If a job fails to post to LinkedIn, Pinpoint now shows you why - and how to fix it.

Check the Status of Organic Job Board Posting

Track the status of jobs posted to LinkedIn, Indeed, Monster, Talent.com, ZipRecruiter, or Appcast, right from Pinpoint.


Background Checks and Compliance

UK Right to Work Checks

The four routes to a compliant Right to Work check, and which Pinpoint check to use for each.

UK Right to Work (Alternative) Check

Run a share code check against the Home Office for candidates without a valid UK or Irish passport.

Consent for US and International Pinpoint Background Checks

Pinpoint now captures and stores your FCRA certifications automatically, before any check is placed.

Manual Identity Verification for DBS checks

A secure, manual in-person/video verification workflow for candidates who can't complete digital ID checks.

Capturing Manually Conducted Checks in Pinpoint

Log the outcome of checks completed outside Pinpoint (like DBS Update Service lookups) for a complete audit trail.

Configuring the Invite Email for Pinpoint Background Checks

Pinpoint Background check invites now come from Pinpoint directly, not Certn - these can be fully branded and customized.

TrustID Right to Work Integration

Send, track, and receive Right to Work checks via TrustID without leaving Pinpoint.

First Advantage (Sterling): Custom Status Mapping and Sub-Status Support

Map First Advantage (Sterling) statuses to your own Pinpoint background check statuses.


AI and Automations

AI Token Usage and Activity

See AI token usage by month, feature, and user - with filters and CSV export.

AI Notetaker Consent

Candidates now confirm their recording preference before the AI Notetaker joins an interview.


Integrations

Dayforce Integration

Send candidates to Dayforce in one click - Pinpoint pre-fills the hire form and pushes documents across automatically.


Workflow and Candidate Management

Filter the Jobs List by Job Custom Fields

Filter jobs by Job Custom Fields, the same way you already filter candidates and applications.

Improved Assessment Score and Status View

Trigger a Cappfinity Assessment as a Stage Action

Automatically send a Cappfinity assessment when a candidate hits a chosen stage.

Structured Sections in Job Templates

Add structured sections to job templates so every new job starts pre-built.

See a Candidate's Other Applications from the Applications View

Add a column to a job's applications view to show how many applications each candidate has.
