It's helpful to get real time data. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thanks for your review of PCR! We're always open to users' ideas on how we can improve searching and dashboard features - visit the ideas and request forum in our helpdesk to suggest ways we might improve in future updates. ### 2. Great Team - Solid Product **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 01, 2020 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** The team at PCRecruiter is very helpful. They continue to add to and update the program to continue to meet our needs. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** Nothing stands out as something we dislike. **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** We manage a 60000 candidate and client database. We have an exceptional custom coding system that shortens the time to fill for our clients. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thanks so much for your review of PCRecruiter! We're glad to hear that it's meeting your needs so handily and helping your company to succeed. ### 3. PCRecruiter revisited **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 01, 2018 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** I had suggested PC Recruiter to our firm because I had used it many years ago at another firm,. It is intuitive! **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** An early version had a customizable graphic user interface, while not a necessity, it is no longer an option. **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** Play with it, dig around. If you can think of a use or need, someone has probably already done it. **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** Ease of inhaling data **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thank you for sharing your positive experience with PCRecruiter! We're glad to hear that you find it intuitive and easy to use. ### 4. Great Potential but Too Rigid **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** PCR is responsive to user ideas and suggestions for improvement. The software is web-based so no need to download and install a large file. They have great tool extensions that substantially decreases the time spent navigating and updating records. The activity recorded is highly customizable to make result tracking easier. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** PCR's infrastructure is segregated and rigid so it takes a lot of clicks and navigation to do basically anything in the system. The csv file import lacks many custom and predefined field options and duplicate checking options. The auditing reports don't offer the option to track global changes in the database. My team experience obstacles/issue on a weekly basis because the user interface isn't intuitive, so I believe PCR could greatly improve by becoming more fluid/user-friendly and customizable. **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** Consider training time, maintenance, and computer skill level of the users **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** We strive to maintain a fruitful candidate pipeline and the customizable layout, field options, and activity codes make it easy to search and target the correct people. PCR also has some automation capabilities to eliminate repetitive tasks. The rollup stage icons allow you to visually summarize the progress or status. The historical records in our database could be updated easily with the global change feature. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thanks for reviewing PCRecruiter! We are definitely working on improvements to the interface and intuitiveness. We're always open to user recommendations in the Ideas and Requests forum on our helpdesk, so if you have any thoughts to share on what we can make easier, we're listening! ### 5. Fix the whole problem, not part of it . . . **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Blake H. | Recruiter, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** Data Sorting on Roll up Pages, allows me to sift and comb data by relevant queries **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** 1) GUI no so much . . . Monochromatic presentation does not lend itself to rapid use. Need to rework GUI so that it is presented based on hierarchy of functions. Also need to rework buttons/options to correspond to functionality. 2) See below **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** Functionality within PCR provides to have Tasks (Schedule/Rollup Lists/Company Search) open on separate tabs . . . which is the method of my using PCR. Schedule page was throwing up a blank screen when Complete/Move/etc was activated. Ticket was set up, effort to resolve began 2 mos later. When resolved, a different problem arose . . . the 'complete' button (circle w/ dot in middle) does not appear. Have to refresh page & reopen Schedule. A ticket has been opened about this . . . hopefully 2 months will not transpire before it is fixed. Reminds me of taking a car to a mechanic, fixes one problem but creates another. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thank you for sharing your thoughts on PCR, Blake! You'll be pleased to hear that broad GUI improvements are on the way in future updates. Regarding your schedule issue, it appears the patch for that issue is scheduled to go with update 9.7.30 this week. ### 6. Lots of features, little intuition **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Semiconductors | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 23, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** I like: - Easy to navigate tabs - Rarely crashes - Optimizes search results by most recently edited - LinkedIn quick add feature - Recent mobile app update is nice **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** - (#1 issue) non-intuitive, outdated interface. Figuring things out is a pain and things are not located where you'd expect them. - Clunky and inefficient Outlook extension - Slow - No ability to have two informational tabs open at once for a single candidate's profile, other than just opening another PCR window - Need to re-login through the Chrome extension and browser platforms several times per day - Inefficient integration with LinkedIn - Logging into the platform and installing all the software, then getting it all to sync, is a hassle - especially when setting up new machines **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** PCR allows me to access candidate info relatively quickly and easily via mobile and browser. Adding notes is easy. The functionality is there and I've learned to work around the faults. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thank you for sharing your thoughts on PCRecruiter! We are working on updates to the interface for future releases, so you may find it more intuitive and up-to-date. As a software with 20 years under our belt, making interface changes without throwing off existing users requires a slow and iterative process. We're always looking for feedback. If you've got particular improvements you'd like us to consider in future versions, be sure to post about them in the Ideas and Suggestions forum in our helpdesk. That's where the development process usually begins for any new features. ### 7. Great product with lots of customization **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 23, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** PCRecruiter is a great tool to track and compartmentalize candidates and companies / positions. There is a lot of customization which is great, everything from emails, automation plans, activities and rollup stages, keywords, even the calendar. I also like that they are always trying to make things easier for us, for example, PCR Capture is an added feature that is very beneficial since adding names is one of the most time consuming parts of PCR. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** Some downsides would include the ability to not search the recycling bin and easily retrieve things that may have been deleted. At times when we are working on an identical role that we worked on a year ago, we sometimes like to retrieve the old rollup, but to do so, we need to go through the recycling bin page by page. I also feel there is a more that can be down with reports. I personally feel that PCR8 was easier to make customized reports than it is in PCR9. **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** With PCR we are able to quickly match candidates with open positions, due to keywords and customized fields. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thanks for your thoughts on PCRecruiter! Regarding a search box in the recycle bin, that's already under consideration by the development team, so you may get your wish on that one in the future. ### 8. Fantastic **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Human Resources | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 22, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** The interface is very user-friendly and easy to use, it enables us to customize our own toolbars, search options and results etc. and that help us to facilitate our works. It is also easy to link candidates to the corresponding positions and easy to check their current status in the pipeline. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** Sometimes it takes a bit time to load after I clicked the icon buttons or parsed new CVs. Also it doesn't allow me to use arranged date as criteria when I run the pipeline reports. When I select the date range when I run the reports, it is always the start date. I think it is better if you allow me to select whether I want to use Start Date or Arranged Date when I run the reports. **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** NA **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** PCRecruiter stores all of our candidates' CVs and our clients' contact information. We use PCRecruiter to keep track of the hiring status and it helped a lot. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thanks for your thoughts on PCR! Regarding the option to run reports by Arranged Date, you may want to visit the Ideas and Suggestions forum in our help desk to post that request. It may be a simple and helpful addition to have in a future version of PCR! ### 9. PCR makes connecting with clients and candidates extremely easy! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Paul C. | President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 22, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** The best way to reach someone in my experience, be it client or candidate, is to call AND email them. Some people check voicemail, some don't, and others just text. With the rollup shortcut numbers, I can choose between 20 different custom emails that I've written, personalized to the individual, and send it with literally one click. I usually have my recruiting or marketing email sent before I'm done leaving the voicemail, then with one click on the profile record I'm dialing the next person. I can reach more people which means I can fill more jobs for my clients. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** I do wish it was easier to get candidates into jobs via email. As it is now, if someone emails a resume to me from a job board or another website, I have to then forward the email to myself a second time so that I can change the subject to the job ID, and then run the inhaler. I've written a custom script to change all the email subjects to the job order numbers which saves time before I have to then run the inhaler, but if they could just send an email into the job like I had with a previous ATS, that would save a lot of time every day. **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** Being able to follow up candidate calls and marketing calls with a quick email, customized to the individual is critical. PCR has by far the best capabilities for follow up of any of the ATS we've seen; with one click the precise email that fits the conversation I just had goes to that person, and I don't even have to open the email to send it! If the person wasn't local, I click "6", if they are interested but want to see the description I click "1", if they just took a job but have a referral, "7". 20 choices, 1 click, and I'm onto the next call. It's a tremendous timesaver. **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** I can contact a lot more people once they are in the system with the one click dial and the one click email shortcuts. That helps me fill more jobs. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thanks for the review of PCR, Paul! The idea about emailing resumes directly to the pipeline for a job seems like a possibility, leveraging our existing IMAP integration and the server-side code that processes resumes for the Inhaler. I'd recommend visiting our Ideas and Suggestions forum in the helpdesk and posting about that, as other users would likely find that helpful as well. ### 10. Ok ATS Sub par support **Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 24, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** Fairly easy to use system, does the basic stuff-scheduling, candidate tracking, position management. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** Fairly easy to use, do-it-yourself support, when you need support of have a question you have to fill out an antiquated support ticket, email the ticket and wait for reply **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** Great product, price and support **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** Candidate tracking, interview progress, notes for updating jobs and candidate discussions. Increase in firm productivity, almost paperless 360 desk capabilities. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thanks for your review of PCR! Our customer support team is available by phone and web chat in addition to our email support system. ### 11. Overall Solid ATS with Room to Grow **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 23, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** Clean user interface; candidate and recruiter activities are automatically recorded under corresponding name, company, and position records; built in email application accessible directly from database; can copy user settings directly from one user to another; responsive customer support **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** Feature requests often go months/years without being implemented; slow load times/lag over the weekend due to updates/backups, and times of unresponsiveness/lag when updates are released during business hours for cloud users; no way to send bulk emails to company records as was possible in earlier versions of PCR; recycle bin is antiquated and has no search/bulk restore options; links in PCRMail are routed through redirects, making identification of spam/phishing links difficult and presenting security risks; PCR logo/branding automatically appears on all bulk emails sent to clients (with no option to disable) which looks gaudy, creates confusion, and detracts from our marketing efforts **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** Pipeline/candidate tracking; candidate/email database **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thank you for sharing your thoughts on PCR! A few thoughts on the items you noted as areas for improvement... A search for the recycle bin was just added in v.9.7.33! The logo in campaign emails is alterable by request (a recent improvement) - check in with our support team for details. Our dev team considers all requests posted to our Ideas forum in the helpdesk, and those which multiple customers up-vote are prioritized. Since the release of that forum in 2017 our process for implementation of user requests has sped up, as we're able to get a clearer picture of what is wanted and by how many people. If you have any specific features in mind that haven't been posted there, login into the help desk and submit them for consideration! ### 12. A comprehensive solutiin **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 25, 2020 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** The ease of use, user friendly and the variety of database **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** Norhing much but would be better if I could have resumes based on industry **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** Recruitment from all over the world. It was easy to extract various profiles att under one umbrella. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thank you for reviewing PCRecruiter! Talk with a member of our support team about ways to tag records by industry for easier location of resumes. ### 13. Our online safe storage of over 270,000 contacts! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stephen N. | Executive Recruiter / Managing Partner, Staffing and Recruiting, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 29, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** Live customer service and training! (There is also online help which is very good.) We often have a lot going on and it's very important that if we have an issue or need a hint/tip on how to proceed with something we're not trained on, the PCR crew is always eager to help. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** Our version is not integrated with e-mail. This is a step we've voluntarily avoided due to additional cost and complexity. (This "dislike" pertains strictly to our office setup.) **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** They have an additional product which uploads resumes easily without a lot of fuss. We utilize this daily and our database has now increased to over 270,000 contacts for our industry. This is incredibly complex and the search mechanisms they have incorporated allow us to quickly identify and find contacts. **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** Easily engaging contacts three different ways. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thanks for sharing your thoughts on PCR, Stephen! It's a pleasure to help your business. ### 14. Great ATS/CRM **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Cindy L. | Director of Recruiting, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 22, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** The Outlook portal! I love that every email sent and received is recorded in the system and doesn't end up in spam/junk folder of the receiver. I also love the roll-up list feature to help me stay organized. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** I've used a lot of very expensive systems, and PCRecruiter has the best functionality by far. **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** It's one of the few systems I've seen that offer both an ATS and CRM, and none will be able to match the value of PCR. **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're utilizing the analytics to track who clicked and opened emails from our marketing campaigns to re-target these candidates. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thanks for reviewing PCRecruiter, Cindy! It's good to hear that PCR is meeting your needs and fitting your budget. ### 15. PCRecruiter - Keeping things simple **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kaleb C. | Executive Recruiter, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 22, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** All of the information is in one location. Whether you are working with companies or individuals, it is easy to track the process and where everything is at. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** None. You can tailor everything to your exact specifications. **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** The idea of streamlining and candidates process was tough until I began to use PCR. Since then, it has been easy to keep up-to-date with multiple people within my firm when it comes to a candidate. I like being able to send email within PCR rather than having to use multiple tabs. PCR makes it so seamless to be successful. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thank you for reviewing PCR, Kaleb. We're glad you're finding the system helpful to your business! ### 16. Principal & DIrector **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Robert W. | Principal & Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 23, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** I have been using PCR since 2010 and searching our database is easy and efficient. There are many attributes of PCR available, but we don't take advantage of them all. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** Can be challenging at times to run reports and a few more steps needed to uncover some of the desired information. Can seem a bit "clunky" at first. I have seen other ATS's that have a "cleaner look" but may not offer as much. **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** Look at your recruitment process and need for analytics and compare to what PCR has to offer. **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** Database management. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thanks for your review of PCR, Robert! Improvements to our UI and our reporting features are in the 'high priority' list, so we hope to make you even happier in those areas down the road. ### 17. Wonderful ATS with tons of capabilities that keep on coming! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michele B. | Recruiter, Human Resources, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 23, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** The ability to organize candidates efficiently is wonderful! They are constantly looking for ways to improve based on customers' needs. The customer service and tech team are the best! No matter how small, the help desk is willing to help with a consistently wonderful and professional attitude. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** I guess a "downside" is that someone cannot go into PCRecruiter and figure it out within minutes. Training is essential to get the most out of the product. Everybody within the organization should be utilizing PCRecruiter for it to perform efficiently. **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** Please use PCRrecruiter the way it was intended to receive all the benefits it has to offer. **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** The ability to organize candidates within the different pipelines is wonderful, especially if you have a remote workforce. Everyone stays on the same page. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thank you for reviewing PCR, Michele! We're pretty proud of our service team, and it's great to hear that they're meeting your expectations! ### 18. Clunky but improving **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 25, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** PCR works really well for data storage and retrieval and is easy to navigate **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** Lacks a lot of the functionality that other CRM/ATS' offer like dynamic rollup lists and the candidate movement through the interview process is clunky. The analytics are almost nonexistent and the mobile app is completely stripped down and missing most of the necessary information to be useful. It has no automation and lacks most forms of bulk communication **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** With so many potential options out there, it's hard to really recommend PCR if you're looking to switch, but it's also been difficult for us to find another that had all the features we need/desire, making it hard to leave PCR. **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** It allows us to navigate our niche market and build relationships with key clients **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thank you for sharing your thoughts on PCR. We are going to be releasing some major updates to automation plans in the near future, and we invite you to check out the PCR Analytics option if you haven't yet. We are always looking for feedback on new features or changes that will help our users be more productive, so feel free to visit the ideas forum in our helpdesk to share your suggestions with the team! ### 19. User friendly but very intuitive system. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 25, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** PCR has been great for managing all the individuals we deal with on a daily basis, from clients to candidates. Highly customizable program to help meet whatever requirements you need. Great customer service and main sequence is always trying to improve their product. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** At first, it was difficult to get used to but over time it becomes second nature. Their chrome extenstion "PCR capture" was a great tool to parse resume however lately it has been finicky. Hopefully, soon they will get it sorted out. They are integrated with Indeed, however, they are not with some other larger vendors like glassdoor. **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** Managing every single person I come into contact with every day. Helps me track conversations, activities, hours, timesheets, and etc. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thank you for your review of PCR! We are going to be announcing integrations with more job boards (including Glassdoor) in the very near future, so watch the announcement banner or our social media for details! ### 20. In-depth, intuitive, and reliable software **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brooke S. | Project Coordinator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 23, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** PCRecruiter allows you to store and filter through even the biggest of databases for candidate / client information. It's intuitive, easy to operate, and makes our business more efficient. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** In PCRecruiter 9, you are unable to drag individual sub-windows onto a different monitor, this can inhibit multi-tasking. **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** PCRecruiter allows us as a firm to store everything in one place, from candidate information, to customizable profiles for each of our positions, to resume storage. You really can operate a whole recruiting business efficiently using PCRecruiter. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thanks for your review of PCRecruiter, Brooke! As an FYI, we are investigating ways to take better advantage of multiple monitors with PCR. As a browser-based system, this is a complex technical feat, but we know that power-recruiters often have two screens going and we hope to find better ways to utilize them down the road. ### 21. Senior Technical Recruiter with 8 years of experience **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 31, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** It is a basic Applicant Tracking System that does the job **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** Antiquated system, cumbersome, not easy to use and not a good workflow **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** Very basic functionality **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** It does track Applicants **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thank you for sharing your thoughts on PCR!

Effective ATS for Recruiting **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michelle P. | Head Operations, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** It can be as complex as you want it or as simple as you want it for tracking candidate and client information. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** The search functions are be a bit more user friendly. **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** It is an effective way to track Clients and Candidates and ensure you are not losing valuable information for the success of your recruiting efforts. **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being able to set follow ups with potential clients and candidates.

Superior Customer Service - Easy to customize! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jen S. | Sourcing & Recruiting Team Leader, RPO Operations, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 24, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** I love the customer service of PCR. When there is ever any question around "how to", they respond promptly with detailed instructions! The ability to customize the system is super helpful. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** When importing a list of names, the selection of "duplicate checking" options is somewhat limited. Analytics are still somewhat limited. **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using PCR as a primary CRM for our recruiting efforts across a segment of our business. The tracking and reporting are advantageous to track productivity. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thanks for the kind words, Jennifer!

Does what we need it to. **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 25, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** I like the "parse" tool the best. I don't have to input each value (first, last name, phone number, email, etc.) manually. It finds it and puts it in the right place for me (most of the time). **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** It's behind the times. I've never noticed anything different with any of the "updates" it has. **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** It might be better if we used one of the few other softwares it's integrated with but we don't so it's pretty plain but does the basics of what we need it for. **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** It lets us organize people and their contact information into folders that make it easier to find them/have them in one place for each engagement we work. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thank you for submitting your review! If there are features you'd like to see added that we're not putting out in our regular updates, visit our suggestions forum in the helpdesk and share your recommendations. Some much larger-scale changes to our interface are coming in the future. ### 25. PCR is a great product for Recruiters **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mining & Metals | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** I am still ECSTATIC that PCR can "capture" a candidate and add them right into PCR. Some of us still have some files we use for an active project. If a person is not available to ask a question, the answer can often be found right on PCR. Howsomever, garbage in, garbage out. Everyone must do their part in this regard. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** Our team requested a change to the resume inhaler operation. If we receive a resume from someone by email, we can hit a PCR button right in the email and PCR will slam all his info into PCR. Resume and address and phone number and email. It's a magical thing to see! However; the phone number listed on the resume ends up in the block noted > Home Phone. I usually go into the profile and move the phone number into the cellphone block. Because in my mind, that's what it probably is. These days, when I give someone a phone number, I always give them my cellphone. We still have a home phone, but only give it to family and friends. We even notice that a number of people have given up even having a home phone number any more. That makes sense if a family pays for 2 - 5 phone numbers already in their cellular bill. Our collective suggestion to Main Sequence is to modify the programming on this operation to send the phone number on a resume into the cell block. This week I noticed that a resume put a gent's phone number into the home PH# block. I'm disappointed that this has not been changed since I received a note back that this is a good idea. **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** Go For It **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** A resume cannot be stored as a pdf file. Attachments can. At times I have added notes into the resume section that indicates you need to go to attachments to find the resume. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thank you for your review of PCR! The Resume Inhaler should put phone numbers into the 'cell' field if the phone number is labeled as such in the resume header (i.e. cell:555-555-5555), but if the number is unlabeled or is the only number, it defaults to the 'Home Phone' field, as many users simply put the primary number in that field (given that the home phone is often the cell). Since some folks want it one way and some want it the other, this might be a good suggestion for a database preference. We recommend you visit the Ideas and Requests forum in our helpdesk to share that idea! ### 26. Customer Service is Top Notch **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** My team likes the ability to customize the fields, rollups and profiles which allows us to tailor our database to fit our needs and make us more efficient. I also think the customer service it absolutely top notch. Any time I have an issue I get a response almost instantly, and a solution very quickly as well. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** We have four different databases, that all require their own specific fields and formatting, this makes it difficult to hop back and forth through databases during any given plan / day. While we understand that we can merge these databases, we just can't see how it can be seamless when all of our databases are so different. **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being able to keep all of our client information in one place has helped us streamline our processes. Because I work on a team, I find it very helpful that this is a "live" database that I can work in the same record at the same time as another teammate and nothing is missed. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thank you for sharing your thoughts about PCR and we're glad to hear that it's streamlined your process! The configurability of the system that allows you to create unique fields and layouts per-user and per-database can be problematic if you're jumping between the various setups during the day. You may want to consult with one of our trainers to see if there are best practices or configuration adjustments that might help smooth the transition. ### 27. Does what is needed, but I really miss SalesForce **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 23, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** It has some cool features where you can send an email that will delete itself where you can see when it is viewed, but our team has not been trained on how to use the feature. It does effecitvely store information for candidate interviews and the text is search queryable. They have recently implemented a feature where you can click on a resume based on a key word search that is highlighted in the resume which is nice. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** I have used Salesforce and Microsoft CRM and I really miss SalesForce. PCR does the job of being a database, but doesn't cut it in day to day planning tools. You can create roll up lists for sourcing purposes, but their tools to sync to outlook or create a daily task don't work in our system, so my Outlook looks insane since that is what I am using a a task Management System the Dashboard and Reporting feature was recently added to our company, but we are unable to run reports. The reports do not propperly log and the features are missing **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** Great as a database, but find another way to use a task management system **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** It doesn't have an effective task management system. It stores data. In salesforce, all of the data would come up in the main account, but in PCR you have to individually click into contacts to find information In terms of the pipelining tool, it is very tedious to move candidates through the process. It is not an effective way to manage my sales pipeline and use excel as well or I can't keep track of candidates. I dislike that this feature also incorrectly logs a resume submittal as an interview that logs on my dashboard. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thank you for sharing your thoughts on PCRecruiter. We're always looking for ways to help our users better manage their records. PCR is definitely going to work differently than SalesForce, but the configurability of our pipeline should provide enough flexibility to match the process you're trying to manage. Check in with our training team to see what they might be able to recommend. ### 28. PCR is a great CRM software that is always evolving for the better, and has served our needs well. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Cassie F. | Partner and Executive Recruiter, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 23, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** That you are always willing to make changes, if that means they will help our business! **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** There are a lot of steps to the program, to do small tasks. I wish that there were ways to better "shortcut" day to day things within PCR. **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are way more organized as a company because of PCR. Things are tracked better, emails are noted, and visually, it's easier to see what we have in our piplines. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thanks for sharing your thoughts on PCR, Cassie! We are always working on ways to 'reduce clicks' in the system - if you have any particular tasks you're looking to shortcut, post about them in our Ideas and Requests forum on the PCRecruiter helpdesk. ### 29. Great product Great service **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mark S. | President, Staffing and Recruiting, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 31, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** It's easy to customize. The rollup list functionality is great. Form letters. The parsing of data from Linkedin, in which it imports a person's entire profile as a searchable document **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** I still am not a fan of the top and bottom split screen. As our database has gotten bigger, it seems to run a little slow... especially when dealing with big rollup lists. **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** I wish there was a better way to set future task and have a list of incompleted tasks. **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** Rullup lists have become a great way to organize companies, HA's, and candidates... we create lists for each position type within each geographic market **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thanks for your review, Mark! Have you checked out the 'Task List' feature in the Schedule area of PCR? That may be of use to you. We're always working on ways to improve the interface and speed of PCR. If you've got any recommendations, hit the Ideas and Requests forum in the helpdesk and share your thoughts. ### 30. Great Recruiting Tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Zack P. | Research Director/ Executive Recruiter, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 18, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** This is a great database for recruiters. It is makes it quite easy to schedule interviews, locate candidates and integrates very well with LinkedIn. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** Sometimes it is difficult to filter down searches. Our database has over 100K profiles, and it can be tedious to create call plans. **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is a great platform for mass emailing, database housing, and ultimately keeping my team organized. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thanks for reviewing PCRecruiter, Zack. We're glad to hear that it's meeting your needs. If you've got any ideas about how we can make your searching easier, please visit the ideas forum in our helpdesk! ### 31. Simple, Clean ATS **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Minh M. | Recruiter, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 22, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** 1. The system is easy to use, it is simple. 2. Pricing is affordable 3. The company, Position and candidates is all connected. 4. The system is very easy to teach and it short in 1 database **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** We dont have any problem with using PC Recruiter **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** Use more colour to make it easier and look for attractive. Make font size bigger **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** No Problem **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thank you for the review, Minh! We are working on some interface upgrades in the coming year that we hope you'll find aesthetically pleasing. Keep and eye out for announcements as always. ### 32. We are a retained search firm using PCR **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 31, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** I like the interface and capture function with LinkedIn. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** It seems designed for staffing firms, we've had to modify the components to be used in a retained search scenario. Everytime you update the candidate record, it becomes an activity so if you are looking for specific notes, it becomes a bit of a scavenger hunt. If you put the first and last name in for a search, you never find the person; you have to look by either first or last name. **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** see previous notes **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are able to quickly download prospects from LinkedIn. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thank you for your review of PCR! Activities and Notes are a bit different in purpose... Activities are time/date/user stamped logs of things that have happened, whereas Notes are more 'keyword searchable comments' on the record. If you're regularly looking for specific notes, it may be that they're not being entered in a way that will make them easy to find later on. Check with our trainers to see if there might be more efficient ways to track that info. Regarding name searches, if you're able to find the person by first or last name but not both, that may be a database indexing issue or a search configuration problem. Send the specifics to our support team and they should be able to pin that down very quickly! ### 33. Great ATS versatility **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nicholas M. M. | Senior Executive Recruiter, Hospital & Health Care, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 22, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** PCRecruiter is the best in my book because it’s so versatile, there’s nothing it can’t do. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** If it can do everything, there are some things other products do better. But if you have multiple business lines like us, we need the versatility. **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** Ability to give my teams tools for executive search and temp staffing all in one piece of software. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thank you Nicholas! We're glad to hear that PCR is meeting the needs of your team! ### 34. Can do better **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Raj M. | Recruiter, Financial Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 23, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** Roll-ups and everything about them (stage, plans, etc) **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** Parsing abilities. While better than entering everything manually, it still need us to do a lot to fill in the blanks or edits **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** Definitely give it a try and see if it fits your needs **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** Staying on top of candidates. It is much easier to keep track through PCR **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thank you for sharing your thoughts on PCRecruiter, Raj! Parsing can be tricky, given the varying formats that candidate resumes may come in. Our contact info parser is proprietary and we are always seeking ways to make it better. If you have any resumes/CVs that are proving particularly un-parseable, send them to our support team and we may be able to use them as test-cases for future improvements. ### 35. PCRecruiter is the Best Applicant Tracking System **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Frederic S. | Managing Director, Staffing and Recruiting, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 29, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** Functionality. It works well with Linked In as well as many other applications. Love the Mobile version **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** Nothing really. I love everything about the software. **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** It is the best by far **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** Building call lists quickly and tracking documents Also it allows photos, and will draw them in from social media. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thanks for your review, Frederic! It's great to hear that you love everything about PCR! ### 36. A Wonderful ATS for a Headhunting Firm **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 22, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** The ability for it to be a CRM, ATS and a great sourcing tools. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** Nothing.I really enjoy the software. They are constantly updating it too! What more can you ask for! Also, the tech team answers super quickly - via phone or email. **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** Its the best software and def.worth every dollar. My team truly enjoys staying organized and being able to find the candidates we spoke with 6 months or 8 years ago with ease. **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** Nothing- the customer support team answers instantly via phone or email and truly cares. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thank you for your kind words. It's always good to hear that PCRecruiter is helping to improve someone's business and that our support team is making them happy! ### 37. Better than any other ATS. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Apparel & Fashion | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 24, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** I like it's simple design and functionality. Their system is very easy to learn. You can use all it's functionalities or use just the basic options without feeling like you have to navigate around anything. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** Merging duplicate candidates could be an easier process. I always feel like I might lose contact information when merging profiles. **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** Unlike other systems where we have had to create time consuming workarounds to use the system the way we want to, this system allows us to use it how we want. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thanks for your review! As for merging duplicates, PCR errs on the side of never deleting any data unless the user explicitly says to. If you've merged a record you can always look in the Change Log on that record to find the contact info from the duplicate if you need it. ### 38. Created for the Recruiter **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 24, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** I like the quick access options that keep you from needing to leave a page. I like the split-screen access. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** The only thing I wish we could change is having better synchronization for company names in our database. I wish we could have access to a range of times for the "follow up" options within an activity. The phone app could be better **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** na **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** Much more efficient and organized. my last company did not have a database and it was archaic to do everything manually! **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thank you for sharing your thoughts on PCR!

We'd be glad to hear more about your wishes for the mobile app in the future - stop by the Ideas & Requests Forum in our helpdesk to share your thoughts. ### 40. Very Easy to Learn and Stay Organized **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Human Resources | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** It was not hard to learn. Of course I learn something new every day from my colleagues who have been working with the system longer, and I enjoy finding out new nuances. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** Twice somehow PCR got disconnected from outlook and I had to cut and paste emails into PCR way of activities **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** be patient with yourself when learning the software **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is keeping me organized, I don't have to write everything down, it can be typed into PCR. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thank you for sharing your review of PCRecruiter!

However, once you get the hang of it, it's very easy. **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** PCR tracks everything and anything. #1 I like that you can go back into any of your candidates or project lists and see where you might have missed something like a follow-up. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thank you for your review!

As a browser-based system, PCR works nearly identically on Mac and PC. Only the desktop Resume Inhaler and Outlook Portal are Windows-only features - everything else should work the same regardless of your platform. If you're running into any issues with PCR on your Mac, send the details to our support team and they should be able to assist! ### 44. Great Software **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 22, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** My favorite thing about PCRecruiter is how customizable the entire system is. There are frequent updates and developers are constantly working to improve. The system is fairly easy to learn and once understood, easy to navigate. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** The only downside I could think of is the updates occur (because of our location) during our working hours, so it can get slow during those times. But it never lasts too long. **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** Definitely worth a shot. The technical support is amazing. **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** PCR has made things easy with it's way of organizing candidates.

PCRecruiter User Review **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 22, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** I like the PCR Capture feature, especially for LinkedIn and ZoomInfo. I also like that it checks for duplicates **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** I would like more filter options like you have in LinkedIn like years of experience. It can be somewhat difficult to pull appropriate names out of PCR when doing a search for a position. **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** Keep an eye out for PCR updates, watch the videos so you don't miss out on any new features/improvements **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is a great tool for offices to share a database that is easy to use. The ability to search on keywords like in a resume does help with placements **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thanks for reviewing PCR! We're always happy to have suggestions for improvement from our users. Filtering by 'years of experience' can be done if your candidates are keeping their work history up to date in your system. You may want to ask our trainers about ways to manage that via History Fields and candidate profile forms. ### 49. Great collaborative updates with tools for more success!! #PCR **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jeff G. W. | Vice President of Oil & Gas and Environmental Divisions, Staffing and Recruiting, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 11, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** The new comments functions and easy work together. **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** Still too many alternate window openings. Can we make it so tracking and company info can open in same window as candidate information? **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** More touch on clients and better marketing saturation. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thanks for the review, Jeff! Keep your eyes out for some major interface changes over the coming year - you'll likely start to see more efficient use of screen space and fewer multi-window setups as things move forward. ### 50. Gets the job done well, but could be more intuitive **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Human Resources | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 23, 2019 **What do you like best about PCRecruiter?** The ability to import from social media and job boards is huge. I like the pipeline setup a lot and how it can be imported into quick books **What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?** the fact that customizing reports always causes a glitch or that roll up codes and pipeline codes don't match up, requires duplicate coding all over the place **Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:** having live refresh pages for pipeline and roll up / pipeline codes that are a match on both would be very helpful **What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?** having a simplified work flow for our recruiting process and making it easy to track status. Really enjoy ease of importing from social media. **Official Response from Andrew Rothman:** > Thank you for sharing your thoughts on PCR. We're glad it's helping to streamline your business!
