💡 Cost control starts with the way you hire. You review vendors. You audit tools. You cut spend across every line item… Except recruiting. The cost goes up with the salary — but the scope of work doesn’t. Recruiting shouldn’t be a black box. It should be a lever you control. At Pinpoint, we offer fixed-fee and fractional models built for leaders who want clarity, not surprises. 📩 contact@pinpointtalent.com #PinpointTalent #SmartHiring #CFOInsights #CostControl #HiringClarity #PeopleStrategy

🕵️♀️ You’re Not Getting Ghosted. You’re Getting Filtered. Oof. Real talk. It’s easy to think you’re being ignored. But the truth is you never made it past the first filter. ❌ Resume: unclear, fluffy, no real impact ❌ LinkedIn: unfocused, generic, no hook ❌ Story: safe, forgettable, overly templated The bar isn’t just high right now it’s crowded. And the people getting callbacks? They’re not more experienced. They’re just easier to scan, understand, and remember. 💡 Pinpoint Pro Tip: If your materials don’t pass the first 6 seconds, they don’t make it to 60. #PinpointTalent #PinpointProTip #PPTJobSearchHack #JobSearch2025 #CareerGrowth #WorkSmart #ResumeTips #LinkedInTips

Build vs Buy: How Hiring Manager's Decide When to Insource or Partner Not every hire needs new headcount. And not every search belongs on the shoulders of your internal TA team. Here’s how smart hiring managers decide: 🔧 Build Internally when: • You have steady, predictable hiring needs • Your TA team has capacity to source and manage • You’re hiring similar roles on repeat 🤝 Partner Externally when: • You need a hire fast and your team’s maxed out • It’s a high-impact or hard-to-fill role • You want access to talent your team isn’t seeing • You want a strategic partner, not a pile of resumes At Pinpoint, we plug in where your internal team can’t scale... fast, flexible, and built for finance teams. 📩 Want to see how other Hiring Managers are balancing both? Message us or reach out at contact@pinpointtalent.com

💬 The hire you make now shapes Q1, not Q4. If you're only hiring to fix this year’s problems, you're already behind. Because by the time you get through holiday schedules, final approvals, and onboarding... It’s February. The strongest teams aren’t scrambling to catch up. They’re already moving. At Pinpoint, we help teams hire with the next quarter in mind, not the last one. 📩 Reach out: contact@pinpointtalent.com #PinpointTalent #Hiring #Leadership #Recruitment #Q1Planning #PeopleStrategy

Want to cut recruiting costs without losing quality? If you're a CFO reviewing your hiring budget and asking where the money is really going, you're not alone. We talk to finance leaders every week who are dealing with the same issues: Higher comp = higher recruiting fees Delayed hires = slower growth Traditional firms = big spend, little flexibility Here’s what we’ve seen work instead: ✅ Fixed-fee instead of percentage-based fees You get clarity before the search begins. No surprises based on salary. ✅ Fractional support instead of full-time TA headcount Get senior-level recruiting when you need it. No long-term overhead. ✅ One partner for both hiring and payrolling Fewer vendors. More compliance. Faster results. We pulled these strategies together into a simple guide created for finance leaders: 📘 The CFO’s Cost-Control Playbook for Hiring in 2025 Inside, you'll find: • Cost comparisons that make the case clear • Flexible pricing models for growing teams • Questions every CFO should ask before approving another fee 📩 Message us or comment below if you want the playbook. We’ll send it your way. Or email: contact@pinpointtalent.com #PinpointTalent #PinpointProTip #FinanceHiring #CostControl #SmartRecruiting #CFOInsights

Hey you. If you’re managing, interviewing, onboarding, AND still doing your actual job...STOP SCROLLING. This one’s for you. You’re pulled in every direction, trying to hire while keeping everything else moving. But hiring under pressure usually leads to hiring again. Before you rush to fill the seat, pause. Get clear. Do it once. Don’t forget... We help teams hire with structure, not stress . #PinpointTalent #SmartHiring #HiringClarity #LeadershipSupport #PeopleStrategy

Interview Tip: They’ll remember your energy before your answers. Most candidates focus on saying the “right” things. But the real secret? Hiring managers don’t just remember your answers. They remember how you made them feel You could say all the right words… But if your energy is low, your tone is flat, and your delivery feels scripted... you’ll be forgettable. What actually stands out: ✅ Clear, confident delivery ✅ Genuine excitement for the role ✅ Warmth, presence, and a sense of you We’ve seen candidates with great resumes lose the offer because their energy didn’t match the room. And we’ve seen others win the job simply because they brought clarity, calm, and confidence to the table. 💡 Pinpoint Pro Tip: You’re not just being interviewed, you’re being felt. #PinpointTalent #PinpointProTip #PPTJobSearchHack #InterviewTips #CareerGrowth #JobSearch2025

Costly Hiring Mistakes That 99% of Founders Make Most founders don’t mess up hiring because they’re careless. They mess it up because they’re doing too much and hiring on the fly. Here’s what we see way too often: ❌ Hiring only when the team is already drowning ❌ Posting a job without getting clear on the actual role ❌ Running five interviews without alignment on what a “yes” looks like ❌ Asking for a strategic hire but filtering for task-doers ❌ Letting strong candidates walk while waiting for someone “better” These mistakes don’t just cost time. They cost trust, energy, and momentum. If your process feels slow, messy, or stuck, that’s where we step in. At Pinpoint, we help founders cut the noise, align fast, and close the right hire without dragging it out. 📩 Hiring soon?

Hiring Feels Expensive? Try Replacing the Same Role Twice Hiring costs more than what shows up on an invoice. The real burn is in the reset. The re-onboarding. The lost momentum. The second search. That’s why teams come to Pinpoint when they’re ready to stop guessing. We help them hire with structure and strategy. 📩 Want to talk through a role you’re rehiring for?

🙃 When You Say ‘I’ll Do Anything’, We Hear ‘I Don’t Know What I Want’ We get it. You’re motivated. Open-minded. Ready to work. But here’s the truth: “I’ll do anything” doesn’t sound flexible. It sounds like you’re unclear, unsure, or a little desperate. In a market this noisy, clarity = power. Hiring managers don’t want someone who might be a fit. They want someone who knows where they thrive and can speak to it with confidence. So instead of saying: ❌ “I’ll take anything right now” Try: ✅ “I’m focused on roles in [industry] where I can bring my strengths in [skill] to help [type of team or company] solve [type of problem].” 💡 Pinpoint Pro Tip: You’re not generic. So don’t market yourself like you are. #PinpointTalent #PinpointProTip #PPTJobSearchHack #CareerClarity #JobSearch2025 #WorkSmart #ResumeTips #LinkedInTips
