AI Chat is a conversational way to build and refine your candidate searches on Pin. Instead of setting criteria such as locations, skills, and seniority by hand, you describe what you need in plain English, and Pin turns it into a working search.

Think of it as a recruiting assistant that's always ready to adjust course. Don't like the results? Tell it what's off, and it'll rerun the search with your feedback.

Open the job and select Sourcing → Agent. The chat is the main part of the page. Type in the Message Pin box at the bottom, or click the microphone to dictate.

After you create a job, its Sourcing page asks Do you have an existing job description? Choose how you'd like to start:

If you don't have a description, click I don't have a job description and answer Pin's questions instead.

You'll also find an Ask Pin box at the top of a search's Criteria List ("Ask Pin to add or change any criteria for you") and at the top of the sequence editor ("Ask Pin to add or change any or all steps for you").

Start a search, your way. Paste in a full job description, drop in some quick intake notes, or just type a short sentence like "mid-level backend engineer, remote, 5+ years." Pin will ask clarifying questions if it needs more to go on.

Talk instead of type. Use voice to describe your search or give Pin instructions instead of typing it all out.

Refine in plain language. Want to add a location, make a skill optional instead of required, or narrow the experience range? Just say so. No need to hunt through filter menus.

Import from LinkedIn. Found someone promising outside of Pin? Paste their LinkedIn URL, and Pin will check whether it has their information and pull them into your search.

Set rules for approving candidates. Tell Pin something like "approve anyone with a fit score above 8," and it'll handle the sorting for you.

Use presets or CSV imports. If your team uses saved company presets or CSV candidate imports, type @ in the chat and your presets will appear.

Personalize and launch outreach. Once you've approved your candidates, Pin can help you personalize the first outreach message and turn on your sequence, all without leaving the conversation.

Keep jobs private. If a search needs to stay under wraps, ask Pin to make the job private, either when you're setting it up or any time after.

Edit your sequence. View, edit, disable, or enable sequence steps, including by voice.

Pause or resume the agent. Type pause to pause the job's AI Agent, and resume to turn it back on.

AI Chat is powerful, but it's not everything, everywhere, all at once. A few things to keep in mind:

Starting from scratch: If you type "Need a customer success manager, 3-5 years experience, based in Austin or remote", Pin confirms the details and starts sourcing automatically.

Refining on the fly: Your search returns candidates without the right certification. If you type "Make PMP certification required, not optional", Pin updates the search and reruns it, with no manual reconfiguring needed.

Sorting your Review Queue: You've got a pile of candidates to sort through. If you type "Approve everyone with a fit score over 8, decline anyone below 5", Pin sorts them accordingly, and you can move straight to outreach.
