AI Recruitment Platform Pin Raises $3M to Cut Hiring Time by 70%

Share

Pin, the AI-powered recruitment tool that automates tedious hiring tasks and reduces time-to-hire by nearly 70 percent, announced a $3 million seed round led by Expa Ventures, a leading early-stage venture firm and incubator. Pin serves over 600 customers. The funding will support Pin’s expansion, allowing the company to accelerate product development, scale marketing efforts, and meet rising demand driven by early customer success while growing its team.

In the $500 billion recruitment market, lengthy hiring processes are hindering growth for companies. With 47 percent of companies unhappy with how long it takes to fill roles and only 56 percent finding their recruiting effective, the pressure to find top talent is increasing. Most AI tools for recruiting are falling short, and traditional platforms can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack, leading to missed opportunities. Pin solves these problems by automating tedious and time-consuming steps like sourcing, outreach, and scheduling, acting as a Google-like search engine for recruitment efforts. With precise candidate matches, recruiters can focus on what matters most: building meaningful relationships with candidates and securing top hires.

“The hiring process is one of the most important, but frustrating responsibilities for companies because they are bogged down by inefficiencies and tedious tasks,” said Steven Lu, CEO and co-founder at Pin. “Pin tackles this problem head-on, freeing recruiters from time consuming tasks to focus on building relationships and hiring the best candidates ten times faster than traditional methods. We’re dedicated to making hiring not just faster but more human.”

The platform’s speed and accuracy of candidate matching are truly unmatched.”
