### "PC Recruiter Software"

September 14, 2016

3.5

Pros

It is very inexpensive and easy to use. It provides us with what we need.

Cons

It has more than we need and it is old technology.

4.5

I have used PCRecruiter for 15 years, as both a Staffing Recruiter and a Corporate Recruiter. I have been in my current in-house corporate role since November of 2011, supporting our North American enterprise as the sole Recruiting Manager. As of May of 2013, we have hired over 200 associates and I couldn't have done it without PCR. The product can be used for staffing and corporate recruiting as an ATS, as well as business development, sales, and marketing as a CRM. Also, I know first-hand how diligent their 24 hour Support Team is and how well they respond. As an Outlook user, I couldn't live without the Portal for Outlook integration feature--a game changer! Ratings for vendors are highly subjective, of course, but I am a huge fan of PCRecruiter!

### "Does it all"

December 8, 2016

5.0

I completed a demo with a sales representative. The functionality was impressive. It was fully comprehensive with nicely color coded activities. It was mobile, , web / cloud based which is nice. Integrated with job board companies was also very easy to use. As a start up staffing agency it was more than what we wanted or needed. It was a little out of my personal budget but I would absolutely recommend this software.

Pros

Mobile, functionality, thorough.

Cons

Training, cost

### "6 years of PCRecruiter use and it keeps getting better!"

March 11, 2010

4.0

PCR is a must for any recruiting office. It has many features and functions that help us run our business effectively. The key is to use the tools, not just use it as an electronic rolodex.

Pros

Great support both by phone and by computer(service tickets), never hard to reach Open to suggestions, new features keep coming Great user community that shares ideas Intergrates with PTWeb to keep useful metrics Unlimited ability to customize at the user level and the database level

Cons

Can't send bulk email campaigns effectively Can't search across multiple databases

### "Customizable to our Needs!"

December 21, 2017

5.0

Nothing to add.

Pros

We recently made the switch to PCRecruiter. I'm really new with the software and have been working in it for about a week now. I am already liking the capabilities of this system. The best feature is having social media tools and job boards integrated in this software. I love being able to view a bulk of activities & interviews at a time. The Help Center is very convenient as well. Love the two minute tutorials. This system is going to be great once we get everything customized exactly how we need it.

### "This is a Cadilac at a Chevy price."

September 9, 2008

4.0

This is a Cadilac at a Chevy price. Reports have gotten better, support is available when you need it and overall customer service is excellent.

Pros

Flexibility to perform a variety of tasks inside the application. For example, I can screen assign a status, route to hiring managers and email a message to candidates with just afew key strokes.

Cons

Allows a candidate to apply without selecting a specific opening. There is a work-around, but there is the potential of missing a few candidates unless you create the work-around and check it consistently.

### "First rate CRM system for recruiters"

December 2, 2014

5.0

Pros

I've been a PCRecruiter user for the past 11 years. It has flow and flexibility that enables us to provide a high degree of customization while maintaining a core program. The menus are easy to navigate, and the options given are significant in that they allow each user to utilize what they want and for us to ensure that the users are capturing key data.

Cons

They're unable to provide customization beyond a certain level. In other words, some functions are hardcoded into the program and cannot be changed.

### "Double revenue by year one after install"

July 14, 2009

5.0

Main Sequence Technologies is an excellent company to deal with and PCRecruiter software can be a value add to any business focused on improving their applicant tracking ability. The software is back up by an excellent support from training to tech support and development. The teams seem to work well together and response quickly when you have and technical issue, need training or have a feature request.

Pros

E-mail client, Web extensions, true applicant tracking, increased security, customer service and customization of practically all fields.

Cons

Calendar function is a bit remedial compared to outlook

### "Customer Service is the best!"

May 2, 2018

4.0

Pros

What I like the most about this software is their customer service. They are always there for you to help you and also are really nice people to work with.

Cons

What I like the least about this software is that sometimes is not as intuitive as it should be, also they should refresh their look & feel to look more modern.

### "Pretty good program "

November 17, 2014

4.5

Pros

I like the ability to put attachments, the ability to look up so many different ways, and the different activities. You can log in, and it will automatically tack a date and time to it, so you'll always know what's going on. You can link a driver to a position. It has roll ups which are groups you can group drivers to and enhance the already stellar search attributes this program has.

Cons

I wish there were less screens. I wish I didn't have to scroll all the way to the bottom to save.

### "PC Recruiter Experience"

January 14, 2016

3.5

Pros

PCRecruiter has a user-friendly platform and it was easy to read notes on previous contact summaries entered by previous recruiters on candidates within the database.

Cons

The software was at times slow and it was difficult to keep candidates organized, especially if there was a duplicate entry of the same candidate contacted.

### "PC Recruiter is great for companies wanting to fully customize an ATS"

October 29, 2014

4.5

Pros

Main Sequence is very quick to respond to any questions. The training department is exceptional, and the billing is always simple and predictable.

Cons

I would like the ability to use a drag and drop layout as opposed to being forced to manually add spaces to get the layout I want.

August 17, 2017

4.0

Pros

The Capture tool is excellent. I really like how you can get into a nice rhythm and import contacts as you view their records.

Cons

It can lag a bit. I also do not like that when I capture someone's information, I then have to search for that person in PCR to open their record.

February 24, 2016

5.0

Pros

PCRRecruiter is very easy to implement and use. The various screens and options are intuitive and relevant. The support staff is easy to contact and very helpful.

Cons

I have not yet discovered any aspect of PCRecruiter that I do not like and the staff has been helpful when I have needed assistance.

September 9, 2016

2.0

Pros

The cost is low, so we have a place to store resumes and post jobs without breaking the bank.

Cons

The customer service is terrible. I reached out for a demo and some general questions when I started with the company. It's been 6 months and I still haven't heard back or been reached out to.

### "Out of the darkness of Bullhorn and into the light of PCR"

September 15, 2016

4.0

Pros

All the wishes and ideas I had for Bullhorn, were in PCR. Bullhorn may have them now, yet the ability to have full reporting features (without extra costs), automated emails, roll up lists, scheduling events, rating systems, Outlook integration (without the extra costs) was amazing! Plus, the were excellent on contractual obligations, and very flexible.

Cons

Right now, as all tracking systems, it does feel like a challenge to get use to a brand new system and logic. Yet this is for most systems. It would be nice if their 1 user package was just a bit less expensive, though they did work with me on start up costs.

### "Pro Tool "

August 22, 2013

5.0

Pro Tool, good for CRM or ATS or both. Surprising number of different kinds of organizations use it.

Pros

Does a lot of complex stuff for a fraction of the cost of the big ATS. Best Outlook integration. Strong data model. Probably fits your needs. 'Rollup List' concept innovative and useful.

Cons

Complexity requires training but sharp people can pick it up fast enough. Odd bits of extra clicks and weirdness, getting better with time.

July 6, 2009

I have and will continue to recommend this product to other search firms. Product and support are exceptional.

Pros

We have used PCR since 1999 and have never exceeded its capacity to deliver what we need as a search firm. The web-based version allows tremendous flexibility for our team. Flexibility drives down to the individual user allowing them to customize the database specific to their practice.

Cons

No disatisfaction with the product at all.

PCRecruiter support is terrific. All software companies should be this good. The software is great. Main Sequence Technologies listens to their customers and implements suggested changes. They do indeed call back when you leave them a message, and the software is very thorough and complete. I would not consider using anything else. I am an independent recruiter who has been using this system for six years now. You can use it effectively if you just want to use the basic features or you can dig into it for all the interactive features.

September 7, 2016

We are very appreciative for the level of service and consider Main Sequence, creators of PC Recruiter, to be a big part of our success We rarely have any technical issues, but when we do, the response time is exemplary. When we have training questions, the attention to detail, patience and positivity is beyond reproach Overall, the entire package sets the bar. It's refreshing to know that the traditional values of good customer service is being practiced ' this group takes those values to an even higher level. Kudos!
