Pinpoint Jobs API

Pinpoint is an ATS built for in-house talent acquisition teams, with boards at <slug>.pinpointhq.com. Its public feed is one of the most generous in this pool: a single unauthenticated GET returns the whole board with full descriptions, structured compensation, benefits and responsibilities broken out as separate fields. It also doesn't tell you when anything was posted.

How Pinpoint boards actually work#

One GET. No auth, no pagination, no detail calls, whole board with bodies:

curl "https://<slug>.pinpointhq.com/postings.json"

<slug> is the subdomain. Response is { "data": [...] }.

Per posting you get id, title, description, url, employment_type_text, workplace_type_text (a clean Remote / Hybrid / On-site), location, and structured compensation as four separate fields: compensation_minimum, compensation_maximum, compensation_currency, compensation_frequency, plus a free-text compensation summary alongside them. Real numbers and the prose, which is unusual — most platforms make you choose.

Fields most platforms don't have#

Pinpoint breaks the job ad into parts on the way out:

Those map more or less directly onto core_responsibilities and benefits, which most sources have to derive. Requisition id, department and division are nested one level down under a job object rather than sitting at the top level.

deadline_at is an ISO application deadline — and it's the platform's only date signal, which is a strange place to end up: Pinpoint tells you when a job closes but not when it opened.

What bites you#

Roughly 42% of the "skills" bullets are sentences. skills_knowledge_expertise is an HTML list, but employers write requirements into it, not tags. Harvest every <li> and your skills index fills with whole sentences. A real skill is a term or short phrase — we keep bullets that are short in both characters and words and drop the rest, and let the enrichment pass derive skills from the description for those postings instead.

location.name is a bare, ambiguous city. Newcastle — which one? The structured city and province fields disambiguate it, and Pinpoint's API carries no country at all, so province is the best hint available for inferring one. Prefer the structured pair over the display name.

compensation_frequency is lowercase prose. year, hour — not an enum you can pass straight through.

Or use ours#

Pinpoint is genuinely easy. One call, no auth, no pagination, no N+1. If you have a handful of Pinpoint boards, use the endpoint — this page is most of what you'd need to know.

What we add is narrower here than elsewhere, and it'd be dishonest to inflate it. We track 350 Pinpoint boards, which is the reach you'd otherwise assemble by hand. The skill bullets are filtered so sentences don't become tags. The structured city/province is preferred over the ambiguous display name. And Pinpoint's rows sit in the same salary and location shape as every other source, so a GBP annual band from Pinpoint compares to an hourly USD one from BambooHR without you writing the normalisation.

The date gap is real and we can't fill it: posted_at is null because Pinpoint never published one. We'd rather say that than derive a plausible date and let you build a freshness chart on it.

Pinpoint is in the fast refresh tier, attempted every cycle — see coverage.
