I was sent to a company in Sunderland and not told how Pin Point pays its agency staff. It was just a case of turn up and there wasn't even an induction for agency workers, not from the company and not from the recruiter. Very little communication, no checking how the job is going etc. You're just dumped and left on site and depending on the place hopefully, you'll have an idea of what the job entails. I'm sure people have had a good experience with Pin Point but for me it wasn't.

It’s an agency..

Driver (Current Employee) - Bristol - 3 August 2022

Your experience depends entirely on the contract you’re on - but pinpoint was always decent with me. No issues normally and the one time I was missed off payroll it was sorted quickly.

Great place to work

Sales Manager (Current Employee) - Bristol - 27 July 2022

Very good company. Really great team I work with. Recruitment is stressful but we all support each other and learn from one another. There amount of knowledge and experience in bristol branch is amazing. Recruitment is stressful but the managers make it a fun environment to work in by using competitions, team nights out, free meals etc. and obviously bonus/commission.

Pros

Commission and team

Cons

Can be stressful but so is every recruitment job

Love my job

Industrial Manager (Current Employee) - Bristol - 27 July 2022

Recruitment is stressful at times and is very fast paced, but I couldn't be working for a better company. They are supportive, help push you to be better and will promote you when you deserve it. Since I've been here I've learnt and grown so much and had 3 promotions in a short space of time. If you've ever worked in Recruitment you'll know how stressful it is, but I come to work with a smile on my face everyday because of the people I work with.

Excellent company to work for

Recruitment Consultant (Current Employee) - Gateshead, Tyne and Wear - 4 July 2022

I've worked for Pin Point as a Recruiter for 10+ years now. There is no micromanagement; all consultants and resourcers are treated as adults and given the autonomy to go about their day in a manner we best feel will achieve results.Genuine career progression opportunities for those that want it. 75% of current team/branch managers all promoted from consultant roles.Great place to work.

Very Poor

Delivery Driver (Former Employee) - Bristol - 21 May 2022

I rang up several times about jobs and was either told that they'd get back to me (never did), they were no longer hiring for that role, or that there's another role that they need people for instead.After finally getting a role that I wanted and a very, very long application form, I went for the first day and was immediately surprised by the amount of key information that was withheld or incorrect. Things like start times, working days and hours were all different to what I was told by Pinpoint.Overall, very poor.

Productive and fun loving place to work

HCA/Support Worker (Current Employee) - Sunderland - 13 April 2022

I enjoyed working with Pin Point because I work at my own pace, flexible shifts. Most of the consultants are approachable and they give you good guidance on how to succeed. Not withstanding so many of them are not helping at all especially when on calls. But generally am enjoying my work with Pin Point and I enjoy their prompt payment pattern.

Pros

Prompt and timely payment pattern

Cons

Some On Call consultants can be annoying

Managements asks you to work 14hrs a day. No shadow shifts given

Health Care Assistant (Former Employee) - Scotland - 12 April 2022

No support from managers, they pressure you into working 48+ hours on 0 hour contract even when you explain why you can't. Management's organisation skills as non-existence and it only company that I had to pay out of pocket for uniform

Pin Point Technology is a fantastic place to grow as a recruiter

Talent Manager (Current Employee) - Byker, Tyne and Wear - 7 April 2022

My experience working at Pin Point Technology has been great so far. The management are incredibly supportive and will regularly check in to make sure you have everything you need. Trust is given to the employees from the outset and you are always recognised for your hard work. I feel genuinely valued and am not put under pressure to work towards unrealistic KPIs.

Pros

- progression opportunities - excellent work environment, supportive colleagues and management - dog

Cons

- dog is not here every day

Very good and rewarding place to work at.

Talent Manager (Current Employee) - Byker, Tyne and Wear - 7 April 2022

Pin Point Technology is a great place to work if you aim to become a successful Talent Consultant and progress even higher. Management is very supportive, the culture and atmosphere is great. Every week you get rewarded for the hard work you do and you never drag to go into the office. However, the most important thing is that Pin Point Technology is not KPI driven - it is quality driven.

Pinpoint Recruitment has been my best employer,I'm comfortable working with the company. They have xperienced and loving staffs with good interpersonal relationship. I will suggest the company should work on sponsoring (Certificate of Sponsorship for skilledworkervisa)some of their staff who are willing to work with them without exitation

Care Assistant (Former Employee) - Aberdeen - 20 February 2022

There’s nothing to really say other than long hours no respect or gratitude for the work you do. They never listen and always give you the opposite shifts you’ve have asked to do. Take work off you to give to longer standing staff
