What It Is

Pointer is a SaaS recruitment management system for hiring teams, with the core goal of reducing repetitive work in the recruitment process through automation. It connects social networks, professional networks, and job portals, and provides candidate tracking, job management, scheduling, and communication tools. It is suitable for HR teams or recruiters managing multiple roles at the same time.

Core Features

Based on the available content, Pointer covers the main workflows of an ATS. Jobs can be created from templates, with support for preset posting and closing times, internal and external publishing, custom application forms, tag-based search, job cloning, one-click posting to jobs.ge, hr.ge, and candidate.ge, as well as sharing to social networks. Application management supports custom stages, application monitoring, and keyword search. Candidate management is fairly comprehensive, including tags, grouping, external sharing, disqualification reasons, adding candidates to jobs, viewing application history, and managing notes, emails, meetings, evaluations, and attachments. For collaboration, it supports @mentions of team members, team calendar views, and personal calendar synchronization.

Pricing and Trial

Pointer uses monthly or annual subscriptions and is billed on a prepaid basis. The site mentions plans for different business sizes, as well as custom plans and additional integrations, but does not disclose specific pricing. New users get a 14-day free trial. After the trial ends, payment is required based on the invoice generated after registration.

Security, Integrations, and Support

Third-party integrations mainly focus on Georgian local job portals and calendar synchronization. Importing LinkedIn candidate data via copied links and automatically adding CVs from email are still marked as coming soon. In terms of data security, Pointer says it uses administrative and technical measures to protect data, will notify users if security issues are discovered, and deletes data within 30 days after account cancellation. However, there is no visible mention of certifications such as ISO, SOC, or GDPR. Support is provided via chat and email, with a promised response within a reasonable time and no later than 24 hours.

Pros, Cons, and Who It’s For

The strengths are broad recruitment workflow coverage, strong posting capabilities to local job portals, a low barrier to trial, and support for customization. The drawbacks are non-transparent pricing, lack of API and developer support, and limited information on international recruitment channels and compliance. It is better suited to local Georgian companies, recruitment agencies, and small to midsize HR teams. For Chinese companies with requirements around local recruitment, the WeChat ecosystem, Chinese payment methods, or data compliance, domestic alternatives such as Moka and Beisen may be worth comparing first. China accessibility is not mentioned in the available text.
