If you have candidates you'd like to manually add to your outreach sequence, you can do so via CSV upload, LinkedIn URLs, or by copying them from an existing sequence.

Check out the How to add candidates manuallyHow to add candidates manually guide to get step-by-step instructions for each method.

When running candidate searches, you can either paste your job description into Pin to have it automatically organized or manually enter your search criteria.

Learn how to run candidate searches and apply filters in the How to run candidate searchesHow to run candidate searches guide.

Outreach sequences are a series of steps you set up to contact candidates through automated emails and various tasks such as LinkedIn, SMS, call and custom tasks.

The Create and customize Outreach sequence guide walks you through each step of setting up your outreach workflow.

Pin uses lookup credits to find candidates' email addresses and phone numbers. You can check out the Understanding lookup credits guide to learn how lookup credits work, how to check your balance, and how to purchase more.
