Pinpoint's Job Board Marketplace gives you access to hundreds of paid boards across industries, locations, and role types. On top of that, Pinpoint automatically publishes to a set of free boards. The number of boards in the marketplace changes as new integrations are added, so the best way to see what's currently available is inside the product or on our integrations page.
Pinpoint automatically posts your jobs to a set of free boards when you publish a role, including Indeed, LinkedIn Limited Listings, Google Jobs, ZipRecruiter, and Talent.com. Monster is also included for US-based roles. As a Platinum ATS Partner for Indeed, the highest tier of Indeed's partner program, Pinpoint's free Indeed listings get better placement and visibility than most ATS platforms at this price point.
Direct Apply lets candidates apply for a job directly on the board without being redirected to your careers site. Pinpoint supports Direct Apply integrations with Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Talent.com, Seek, CV Library, and Naukri. Removing the redirect step significantly reduces application drop-off. For high-volume roles, Direct Apply integrations can deliver up to 4x as many candidates as standard apply flows.
Yes. Pinpoint's Bring Your Own Account feature lets you connect your existing job board contracts and post through your pre-negotiated rates. You don't need to abandon your established board relationships or lose any pricing agreements you've already secured. You still get the benefit of managing everything through Pinpoint, with source attribution running across all your activity.
Collections are saved groups of job boards that you build once and reuse whenever you post a role. You can group boards by department, role type, seniority, location, or any other logic that makes sense for your team. Instead of selecting boards one by one every time you post, you pick the right collection. It's particularly useful for teams hiring across multiple departments or locations simultaneously.
Pinpoint automatically tracks the source of every application. When a candidate applies, Pinpoint records whether they came from a paid board listing, a free board, organic search, social media, an employee referral, or another source. This data is available in source reporting, where you can layer on filters like region, department, role type, or recruiter, and compare your results against external benchmarks using the RecruitmentTrends tool.

Yes. Pinpoint's Job Board Marketplace includes diversity-focused boards, as well as location- and industry-specific options. If you're looking to reach a more diverse candidate pool or hire for specialist roles in specific geographies, you can filter the marketplace to find boards that fit your needs.
Job board advertising is the process of posting open roles to external job boards to attract candidates. This can include large general platforms like Indeed and LinkedIn, as well as niche boards focused on specific industries, locations, or demographics.
In modern recruiting teams, job board advertising is usually managed through an ATS rather than posting manually. This allows teams to distribute roles to multiple boards at once, track where candidates come from, and compare performance across channels. The goal is not just to reach, but efficiency, understanding which boards produce qualified applicants and focusing the budget there.
An ATS connects your job postings to multiple job boards through integrations, feeds, or direct APIs. When you publish a role, the system automatically distributes it to selected boards, without requiring separate logins or manual posting.
More advanced systems, like Pinpoint, centralize this process further. Recruiters can select multiple boards at once, reuse predefined board groups, and manage both paid and free distribution in one place. Updates made to a job are pushed to all connected boards, so listings stay accurate without additional effort.
Posting to multiple job boards increases visibility and improves your chances of reaching the right candidates, especially for roles with varied or competitive talent pools.
The real benefit comes from centralization. Instead of managing each board separately, recruiters can:
For teams hiring across multiple roles or locations, multi-board distribution is essential to maintain speed and consistency.
The most effective way to evaluate job board performance is through source tracking. This means recording the source of each application and analyzing which channels produce the most qualified candidates.
An ATS like Pinpoint tracks this automatically. Recruiters can see which boards drive applications, interviews, and hires, then compare performance across roles, teams, or time periods. This allows teams to move away from guesswork and focus spend on the boards that consistently deliver results.
Programmatic job advertising uses algorithms to automatically distribute job ads across multiple boards and optimize spend based on performance. Instead of choosing boards manually, the system adjusts where ads appear and how budget is allocated in real time.
This approach is especially useful for high-volume hiring, where manual optimization is impractical. Tools like Appcast integrate with ATS platforms such as Pinpoint to use application and hire data to continuously improve targeting and cost efficiency. The result is a lower cost per applicant and a better return on advertising spend.
Most hiring teams use both. Job boards are effective for reaching active candidates and generating initial interest, while your careers site converts that interest into applications and communicates your employer brand.
The key is how the two work together. Job boards drive traffic, and your careers site captures and converts it. When managed through an ATS like Pinpoint, both are connected: jobs are distributed externally, applications are tracked centrally, and performance data is visible in one place.
