Irrelevant search criteria: Some users have found certain search criteria in PCR to be irrelevant and not helpful in their candidate searches, suggesting that these criteria should be streamlined for a more efficient user experience.

Cumbersome merging of duplicates: Users have mentioned that the process of merging duplicate entries in PCR can be cumbersome, especially when dealing with large amounts of data. This can slow down the workflow and make it more difficult to manage candidate profiles.

Useless safety nets for adding duplicates: Several users have deemed the safety nets for adding duplicates when parsing resumes to be useless. They feel that these features do not effectively prevent duplicate entries and can create unnecessary confusion in managing candidate information.

Users highly recommend PCRecruiter for its user-friendly interface, efficient team selection process, and effective tracking of the recruitment lifecycle. They express satisfaction with the integration of Google Voice Text Messaging and Gmail.

The high level of customization possible with PCR is praised alongside exceptional technical support. Users recommend attending training sessions attentively and continuing training throughout the year. They suggest marking candidates not to be contacted and stress the importance of consistent use across all users. Users encourage others to explore PCR, noting that if there's a specific use or need, someone has likely already accomplished it using PCR. Building a good rapport with training and support staff is noted as helpful for optimizing productivity. Adding more color to make icons stand out is recommended, and reaching out to the company for assistance is regarded as consistently helpful. The amazing technical support provided by PCR is highly praised. Users advise taking the time to thoroughly explore the software, as its value becomes even more apparent with increased familiarity. Requesting a clearer system for setting future tasks and having a list of incomplete tasks is suggested. Additionally, users recommend considering factors such as training time, maintenance requirements, and computer skill levels when implementing PCR. Many users believe PCR stands out as the best choice available. They highly recommend PCR's additional product for easy resume uploads. Finally, users stress the importance of patience during the learning process and conclude that PCR is an effective solution for tracking clients and candidates in successful recruiting efforts. They describe it as an affordable, user-friendly, and easily administered database tracking application with great training and technical support. Although PCR is seen as a good CRM platform, especially for businesses using PCs, users acknowledge that other ATS providers might offer more up-to-date technology and user-friendly systems. However, they appreciate PCRecruiter's commitment to continuous improvement and ease of use.

PCRecruiter is great for staffing and recruiting companies that are looking to organize their database. It is also suitable for companies that are also wanting to organize their recruiting processes. Many companies still receive resumes in paper and do not digitalize them. It is even suitable for sales and marketing departments, since you can do marketing and track sales with it.

I think this is a great starter ATS. If you're dealing with 200k candidates or fewer, it would make sense to use. For a larger company, it might be a bit too tedious. This feels like it is designed with a staffing in mind as you have to link positions to companies.

What will the integration process be like with our current data system? How easy will it be to search? Can we plan our calls using PCR? How easy is it to import and export data? How can we better organize our data? What are the other perks of PCR and how can it help us?

PCRecruiter is a great tool for staffing agencies. The ability to pull candidate info from your desktop rather than to search through file cabinets is a huge time saver. The only downside to PCRecruiter is that it could be more user-friendly and it takes some time in getting used to the features. The time it saves our recruiters definitely outweighs the Cons.

Being able to download candidate and company information is so much easier and faster by using the available extensions. We use the Zoom Info and Linked In extension daily. It also allows a picture of the candidate to be added to the profile which makes searching feel so much more personal.

The determination of employee performance is based on the performance and qualification and PCRecruiter caters for all that process. Our company has been relying on its great performance to ensure that we get the best minds assigned the most effective roles to get maximum production. It shows the available human resources and gives our employees the contract that best suits their career.

It is well suited for independent recruiters (I used it for my own search firm, I was a one man project) but it works well and can be cofigured from small to enterprise level staffing companies. I haven't used some of the billing functions per se for consultants and temp employees for payroll and billing so I can not comment on that.

For presenting candidates to clients, PCRecruiter has had rave reviews from clients. It's easy to look through a candidate's profile and provide feedback. Like I said earlier, if it could retain real-time information on a candidate, it would be more effective, not having me have to resend a candidate to a client every time there is something new added to a candidate profile. It would be great to have templates for candidate letters so we wouldn't have to write our own. It would be nice if the parsing feature was more effective in pulling over all the information - as often I have to add in information or make adjustments on parsing.

I enjoy using the roll up list feature and also I like how you are able to call directly through RingCentral and texting capabilities. I am not a fan of the searching features, it could be a lot easier.

PC Recruiter is ideal for companies specializing in permanent placement or contract/staffing. It's competitively priced compared to other similar programs. The technical support, based in the US in OH, is terrific and frankly the main reason I won't even consider switching to another platform. I love that if I have a question and can't find the answer quickly within their learning management system, I can call or chat with them and get an immediate response.

I would recommend PCR to any Executive Search Firm or Staffing Agency and have many, many times. I "think" PCR would be applicable to any organization that is involved in sales but guarantees that it is uniquely well suited to our industry.

Very appropriate to complement the administration of the company's CRM and for the decision-making of hiring the best qualified personnel and it is not suitable for searches by keywords.

PCRecruiter is well suited for moments when you need a student's schedule, or you need to know where a student is at a particular time. However, the grading area of the website is hard to use and does not always make sense. It can easily be changed by accident, leaving you confused and your grades messed up. I think as a whole it is less appropriate for boarding schools as it does not function well for after school activities. It also is just not suitable for 2020. It does not look like it is a new program; it seems like it is from the 90s.

PCRecruiter is an asset to my recruiting firm and I believe that it would be an asset to yours as well. The database conversion process went very smoothly but you need to be involved as it isn't a set it and forget it thing. You need to verify that the data ends up in the field you want it in; you know your data best. Searching and recalling the data that you are looking for is smooth and being able to click the phone number and have PCR dial my VOIP phone automatically is a wonderful time saver. From there we make call notes and schedule next steps. SIMPLE.

I would think anyone who needs to keep track of positions/candidates could benefit from using PCRecruiter. Even those not in the traditional staffing industry. STI-TEC has modified the way we use company records to meet our business. I could see companies doing the same easily.
