Offer management within Pinpoint enables you to submit an offer letter to a candidate. From there the candidate can review your offer and choose to accept or decline it.


Keeping this process in Pinpoint has a number of benefits for you including:

  • Reporting and MI - you'll be able to see what percentage of offers get accepted, helping you identify roadblocks in your hiring process.

  • Stay GDPR compliant - keeping this information in Pinpoint, ensures the candidate data is deleted in line with your data retention policy and enables the candidate to remove it should they wish to.

  • Central record - Pinpoint is your central record of all candidate data. Keeping details of their offer in Pinpoint ensures you and anyone else on the hiring team can stay up to date with the offer's progress.

Next, drag the 'Offer' stage onto the workflow:
