"Really the best thought out system ever!"

5/5

What do you like best about PCRecruiter?

The features answer everything for all forms of recruiting. There are so many features to name. Having been with PCR since 1999, I like the fact that there is not an added "paid customer support." Every new fix or addition has been given freely to the community in which they serve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?

You must embrace the ideology. I do not necessarily dislike it, but it takes time to ensure that the life cycle is embraced correctly. Once adopted, you will be pleased. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:

Customer service is the key. PCR is not going to be acquired hence relegating you to some number or statistic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lifeline files and activity trails of candidate and company behaviors and responses is invaluable to us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The most complete functional ATS & recruiting system on the market."

5/5

What do you like best about PCRecruiter?

It is fully functional, is a mature stable system always adding new functionality to make the process of recruiting through placement and revenue tracking complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?

It takes a while to get used to all the functionality, but that's a plus because this system is robust and about as complete as there is on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can solve the ease of use of creating and managing the recruiting a placement process from cradle to grave. I have benefited from a complete system in one suite of applications. Very easy to learn and use, end result is it maximizes use of time through a suite of highly integrated systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

flexible I have a history with PCR so it's a little easier for me. automation and open APIs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PCR is exceptional."

5/5

What do you like best about PCRecruiter?

The Learning Center is very well-conceived, fast and easy to learn. About an hour and I was ready. The support is fast and very effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?

The candidate's employment history changes don't automatically get into the history section. Seems like they could, since a company change does automatically go to activities. There isn't any way to prevent a user from bulk changing the company name for candidates, while allowing the user to change a candidate's company. I had a user change the company name for 10,000 candidates, by mistake! I had to take away the option for non-admin users to be able to change a company name.

Thank you for your review of PCRecruiter!

We recommend visiting our Ideas & Suggestions forum to mention having 'change company' reflected in the 'history' area. As you discovered, changing of company names can be allowed or locked on a per-user basis, but if you've got an idea for a better solution to the issue you can post it in the forum as well. We're always listening!

"After trialing 6 other UK systems"

5/5

What do you like best about PCRecruiter?

The system doesn't keep giving you the same candidates applications for exactly the same jobs. Most other systems allow multiple repeat applications. Also every part of it is customisable, so you can adapt the pipeline and every other part to suit your business. Oh and the support and the look and feel of it. It's so user friendly This will cut out so many of the wasted time sections of Recruitment and make better use of the limited minutes in our day Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?

Nothing so far. Honestly. I did find something I wanted but they changed it so it worked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:

It's got all the functions the other ats systems gave except it also has more. Also links to a multiposter which means your candidates have one click applies... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?

Organisational problems. See other box Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PC Review by Steve Morris"

5/5

What do you like best about PCRecruiter?

When I need Technical Support, a person picks up the phone without dealing with a long menu of computerized questions. Anyone you talk to knows the products and understands what we do; They speak clearly understood English, which is a rarity today. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?

I want less clicking when updating more than one person's file in a company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thanks for your review, Steve!

We are definitely going to be reducing the number of clicks involved in a number of processes in upcoming versions, so keep an eye out for the notices when you log into the system.

"Effecient and saves time."

5/5

What do you like best about PCRecruiter?

Advanced searches are a great way to find what you need, either by zip code, occupation, etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When doing a rollup I can't see the entire screen causing me to toggle back and forth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Robust and User-Friendly ATS!! Finally!"

5/5

What do you like best about PCRecruiter?

Being able to delegate tedious tasks to AI is amazing. I'm an IR, which means I am always doing database work. PCR has made it extremely easy to import data, go through call sheets, and set up plans for our Recruiters. Also, the support team is top-notch and is always listening to their users. Highly recommend PCR to anyone that is using an old, clunky ATS. Also, I can't write a review without mentioning Dark Mode. PCR has a really solid Dark mode that keeps my eyes from burning when staring at my screen for 10 hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?

I wish that there were more integrations with job-posting. Specifically with LinkedIn Recruiter. It is also very different from ATS's of the past so it might take a while to train your team on how to use it. We have had to dedicate a lot of training time to PCR. Additionally, there are a couple of things that are a bit more complicated than they have to be. The search function is very robust but can be confusing to new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PCRecruiter:

Communicate with your peers/competitors. Ask them how PCR has helped their organization and ask how they utilize it every day. Also, be prepared to train your team. Appoint a couple of "super-users" to be available for questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?

The biggest problem we have faced recently is job-posting integration. We would like to make it very easy for our recruiters to go about their day. Right now, all they have to do is enter a couple of job details and our IR team handles the rest. PCR pushes out the job to multiple sites and even has the capability to pull applicants directly into PCR to be screened from the in-app pipeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thanks for your review, Scott! It's great to hear that PCR is making your job easier. Glad you like the alternate color schemes! We have some very exciting improvements on the way in 2021 that should make it even easier to learn and automate, so keep your eyes out for that.

When considering using PCR as your recruiting and applicant tracking system, talk to real-time users. Take advantage of the trial. PCR has many training tools and the service department is easily accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
