Discovering the Right Alternative to Pinpoint for UK Businesses

We understand

If you're here, you've probably experienced the challenges of using Pinpoint as your recruitment platform. Perhaps the integrations fell short, or the international features didn't meet your needs. You're not alone, and many UK businesses have found themselves in a similar position. This guide aims to help you evaluate alternatives thoughtfully, ensuring a smoother transition to a tool that truly fits your business needs.

Why UK Businesses Outgrow Pinpoint

Pinpoint is a valuable tool for many, but as businesses evolve, they may find themselves needing more than what Pinpoint can offer. Often, smaller brands like Pinpoint face growing pains, such as limited recognition and fewer integrations compared to larger competitors. For UK businesses specifically, the lack of extensive international features can be a hurdle.

While Pinpoint serves certain businesses well, others may require more robust capabilities to support their growth. It's not about the quality of Pinpoint but rather the fit for your evolving needs. Recognizing when your tools no longer align with your goals is a natural part of business growth, not a reflection of failure. Understanding these dynamics helps in making informed decisions about seeking an alternative that matches your current requirements.

What You Actually Need (Not What You're Sold)

When searching for an alternative, it's crucial to pinpoint what you truly need, rather than being swayed by flashy features that might not serve your business. Ask yourself key questions about your current challenges and future goals. Distinguish between must-haves and nice-to-haves, particularly in the context of UK-specific requirements.

Avoid being lured by features that sound impressive but offer little practical value. Instead, focus on native GDPR compliance, seamless UK job board integrations, and transparent pricing. Watch out for hidden costs, such as additional fees for technical support or data migration. Being clear about these needs and potential pitfalls will help you choose a solution that genuinely supports your business objectives without unnecessary complexities or expenses.

The Switching Journey: What to Expect

Switching platforms can seem daunting, but understanding the process can ease the transition. Here's a practical guide:

Before You Switch: - Identify and export essential data from Pinpoint to avoid data loss. - Be prepared for a timeline of 1-2 weeks for a smooth transition.

During Transition: - Consider running both systems briefly to avoid disruptions. - Provide training for your team to get acquainted with Marxel’s features. - Be mindful of common pitfalls, such as underestimating the time needed for adaptation.

After Switching: - At 30/60/90 days, evaluate success based on recruitment efficiency, candidate quality, and user satisfaction. - Benefit from ongoing support tailored for switchers, ensuring you’re never left in the dark.

This structured approach helps mitigate risks and ensures a positive transition to a platform that better suits your needs.

Not Ready to Switch? That's OK Too

Switching systems is a significant decision, and it's perfectly okay if now isn't the right time for you. Sometimes, the solution isn't in changing platforms but in optimizing your current one. Consider whether Pinpoint might still meet your needs with some adjustments.

Ask yourself if the challenges you're facing are temporary or if they have long-term implications. Staying with Pinpoint might make sense if it continues to align with your core requirements.
