August 6, 2019 5.0 Pros The amount of customizability available is great! Practical every feature available can be changed or modified to match your particular organization. Cons Fairly steep learning curb. Getting used to all the features does take time and repetitive use, however, does pay off at the end. Currently doesn't have integration with some third-party sources like Glassdoor, but they did mention they had a few things in the works. Review Source Response from Main Sequence Technology August 13, 2019 Thanks for your review of PCRecruiter! We definitely have a Glassdoor connection on the way (and we have by-request feeds to them already if you want to get in touch), along with several others. Keep your eyes peeled! Dennis K. Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review of PCR by Main Sequence" July 25, 2016 5.0 We have been using PCR for a little over 5 years. We initially reviewed 2 companies. Both we were pretty equal however we went with PCR. We have nothing but positive experiences Pros Ease of use, good value, associates are excellent to deal with Cons None really but we could see some benefits in their online self help Review Source AM Aya M. Office Manager Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great ATS!" May 31, 2019 5.0 All experience using PCR so far is great! PCR is a very nice program, company, and staff! The call center is helpful as well. It is so worth to use it at our company. Pros I use PCR every day. Always PCR catches up the trend of technology and has new features. Once you learn how to use it, it is very easy and friendly to use. I also like the training system. When we request training at our site, a trainer comes to our office. The trainer is always very friendly and knowledgeable. After the training, always he follows up with our questions as well. Great service! Cons There are so many features. It is probably a great thing, but it is hard to catch up with new features of technologies. Review Source DB David B. Managing Partner Medical Devices Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The recruiter's companion! " November 16, 2016 5.0 I've used Main Sequence's PCR for many years and it is truly the recruiter's companion. Do you think you have what it takes to bill a million plus? You might, yet not without the right tracking software. I should know because I've billed many millions using this system and this is the system that made it possible. High billing activity takes a system that is easy to use, scale-able to large volumes of activity yet useful for part timers, saves time, performs solidly, and has the backing of a knowledgeable support team. I've explored the options and nothing compares. Pros Easy to use, reliable, scale-able, customizing options galore, can be conformed to fit your style, and is easy to use 'on the fly'. For beginners and advanced users, there is excellent training available. If you're stumped on an issue there is excellent LIVE support available. And these are knowledgeable support people who understand our business. Cons I honestly don't have a complaint! Review Source DF Dawn F. New Business Development Manager Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PC Recruiter is a good value" September 22, 2020 4.0 It is not the cheapest but it is not the most expensive. I feel that it is a good value. Pros I do like the ability to send applications, write notes, attach references, resumes and store contact info all in one place. Cons To create a job order after a candidate is placed is a long tedious process. There are so many steps. Review Source Response from Main Sequence Technology September 24, 2020 Thank you for your review of PCRecruiter! There may be shorter routes to creating a job order via templates and other features. Check in with our support team for possible ways to optimize your process! CH Charlotte H. Executive Recruiter / Account Executive Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good tool for recruiters! " September 6, 2019 3.0 PCR's Customer service is great. I appreciate the one on one attention and thoroughness of answering questions. They will help you get to a solution. The tool is not as robust as some I've used previously which may be a function of the options we've selected to employ or may be the tool itself. I'm not certain about this. Pros The dashboard is very interactive and easy to use. Cons Search capabilities seem limited and confusing. Results are most often a "mixed bag." Syncing calendars also seems to be challenging - which may be the result of the options our administrators have selected to utilize. Review Source Response from Main Sequence Technology September 10, 2019 Thank you for your review, Charlotte! Do let our support team know about the search challenges you're having - they may be able to suggest other methods. MT Mickey T. Executive Recruiter Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great organization features" May 30, 2019 5.0 Our company was seeking a more powerful database and one that would allow greater collaboration. If all of our team members use PCRecruiter as it is intended, then this is definitely achieved. Pros PCRecruiter has much more flexibility than the previous database that we used. I am able to keep my job orders more organized, easily share with team members, and communicate quickly with hiring managers. The support staff is always extremely helpful and truly worked with our team to personalize PCR to meet our processes. I appreciate that the product is ever-improving. Cons It is difficult to see complete activity notes without opening each individual note. The location of some customization features can be a bit confusing. I think that the software is so powerful, that the average user doesn't have a chance to learn all of the features. Review Source SW Steve W. Executive Recruiter Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I like having the option to customize" March 19, 2020 3.0 I've used this program for years and have not had too many issues. The customer service at PCR is top notch Pros I like having the option to customize every screen aside from what my peers need. Being able to see the results I wants to see after a search, or customize each name profile is an asset Cons The new update has been rough to adjust to, in my opinion the old PCR was much cleaner to look at - but then again I have only had a week to adjust to the new updates. Review Source Response from Main Sequence Technology March 20, 2020 Thanks for the review, Steve! As with all software interface updates, they always seem hard to adjust to at first. We have some more substantial and workflow-improving updates to come later this year. Post your suggestions for future editions in our requests forum! VR Verified Reviewer Virtual Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Database" September 30, 2019 4.0 When Capture is working, PCR is an awesome tool that allows me to search for candidates easily and put them into our system. Pros I like the search capabilities of PCR a lot. It is easy to find and organize candidates by position, location, and company. Cons Capture often has issues with LinkedIn. A lot of times I am spending as much time going over what Capture Should have done as it would take me if I just did it by hand. Review Source Response from Main Sequence Technology October 1, 2019 Thank you for the review! RS Robyn S. Recruiter Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Aviation Personnel Recruiter (7yrs) review" June 11, 2020 5.0 PCR allows remote recruiting to be seamless when working properly. Overall, we rely heavily, almost entirely for all of our recruitment process Pros PRO Features: - Roll-ups for recruiting future candidates is a great feature and easy to use. - Ability to create forms (attachments) that are automatically emailed to select group (accounting, compliance etc) - user friendly - customizable Cons We often rely on SMS activities to be recorded as "proof of contact" and it seems every other week Ring Central texts stop syncing or recording as activities. We were advised to The solution is to re-authenticate often and is very frustrating. Review Source Response from Main Sequence Technology June 15, 2020 Thank you for your review of PCRecruiter! FS Frederic S. Managing Director Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PCRecruiter: Best Database for the money. Best by far at any price!" May 30, 2019 5.0 The PCR team is the most responsive of any other software I have used in my over 25 years of recruiting. I have used many different systems, nothing compares to PCR. Pros I have used this software since the inception. It was a thick client, that installed on our desktops and shared on our network. They have continued to develop new features and the launch of the HTML version was revolutionary. This team is responsive and always looking for ways to improve their product. Ease of use, import features from social networking and so much more. Cons Very little. I would have to say that every time a problem crops up (which is seldom) they solve it quickly and responsively. Review Source CB Cory B. Human Resources Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Middle of the Road Product" January 11, 2018 2.0 If I was looking for a cost effective ATS for a smaller company, I would purchase PCR again as long as I wasn't going to ask it to do to much. Pros I liked the flexibility of PC Recruiter ATS. You need to have better than average computer knowledge to get decent results from the software, but overall, for the price point, it's not terrible. PCR has a built in AD source tracker and support is always willing to provide a pixel for AD sites they do not work with regularly. Candidate tracking is very flexible and search functions are ok, they can be great if you understand how to work with the advanced search features, which takes a little studying. Cons CRM. Lacks function and flexibility in the way it's configured the same as the ATS side. It's very difficult to track prospects through a work flow. Canned reports are difficult to set up. Information doesn't transfer from one section of the database to the other, causing you to have to run multiple reports to achieve the desired results. Review Source CG Chris G. Owner Human Resources Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Software" August 1, 2019 5.0 Applicant tracking is always a concern. Also concerning is the amount of time needed to import candidates. This tool makes both much easier. Pros I love the ability to easily import candidates and track projects. The reporting is also good once you configure it. It is the kind of software that a firm can grow with and not have to look to another platform. Cons It could be more intuitive. Some of the functions require a bit of learning to work properly. Reason for choosing PCRecruiter Overall value was the ultimate decision point. Review Source Response from Main Sequence Technology August 2, 2019 Thank you Chris! PCR can definitely be a little complex to pick up at first... we're working on UI improvements that will, we hope, make things easier down the road! Feel free to post your ideas in our requests forum on the helpdesk if you have any input. JD JULIEANNE D. OPERATIONS MANAGER Medical Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Not worth any of your money!!!!!!! I waisted thousands to get nothing out of them!" January 4, 2018 1.0 FIND A BETTER COMPANY DONT WAIST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON A SYSTEM THAT IS TO HARD FOR SOME 20 YEAR OLDS TO OPERATE!!!!!! YOU NEED A CONSISTANT USER MANNUAL BY YOUR SIDE! Cons Many! They system needs % placed in front of everything to search even you basic customer, it can not search with in cities, it can not parse in documents with out 10 things that need to be changed, the blinding of resumes only works sometimes, they system is blan, boring, no color, too outdated, it needs updates, it needs color, it needs to hire someone innovative enough to make the system user friendly. it is not user friendly at all HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! DONT EXPECT ANY CREDITS FROM THIS COMPANY AS THEY WILL TELL YOU THEIR HIGHER UPS ARE NOT RESPONDING TO THEM! BECASUE THEY HAVE OPERATORS AND NO MANAGMENT. Review Source V. Blair C. President Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fifth System we've used" October 24, 2018 4.0 PCR staff have always been responsive. Pros Very intuitive to how we think as recruiters. Always focused on bringing us more usable apps/ upgrades Cons USD / CDN exchange costs; outside of that we are really pleased with PCR; Review Source GL George L. Founder & President Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PCR" May 30, 2019 5.0 Customer Service is exceptional. PCR provides for an important need in my organization. Pros PCR provides a lot of features and automation. It may take sometime to set everything up as you need, but once you do the product has the ability to really automate a lot of tasks that could otherwise be time consuming. Product is well integrated with LinkedIn. Cons For a small organization fees are very reasonable, if you begin to have many users, user fees could get expensive. For the size of my organization, it works quite well. Wish integration with Indeed was stronger, but we may not be utilizing most effectively. Review Source Marcus R. Recruiter Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Intuitive Resource" May 30, 2019 5.0 They are very focused on the success of their clients Pros PC Recruiter 9 does a fantastic job in organizing the candidates I want to reach! Cons I am quite happy with PC Recruiter. They are quick to address any issue. Review Source DO Deborah O. Administrative Director Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User Friendly ATS System" April 29, 2020 4.0 Pros I love the PCR Capture tool that allows me to import candidate to our database from LinkedIn and link them directly to the role that we are recruiting them for. It also has allowed us to reduce our ecological footprint by being able to store all of our documents in one place that all users have access too. Cons The ability to do a very refined search of our database is limited and we have to take a two-step approach to get the results we are looking for. Review Source Response from Main Sequence Technology April 30, 2020 Thanks so much for sharing your review of PCR!

President/Owner Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Big improvement from previous version but . . . " August 17, 2017 5.0 It's a time saver, helps me stay organized, and ultimately helps me put together more deals! It is also affordable and priced correctly. Pros Everything about it is a time saver designed so that you don't have to go back and forth from PCR to LinkedIn, which is fantastic. Huge improvement overall but . . . Cons The only problem I noticed with this version was that - despite what the training video says - it does not give you the option of adding a name to a rollup "on the fly". Instead, you have to designate the rollup in the default settings. The video specifically mentions that this is not the case anymore, but I just downloaded this latest version 5 minutes ago and there's no option to choose a rollup on the fly. I imagine that will be fixed soon, however, and when it is it will be perfect. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Executive Administrator Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PCRecruiter 9" May 30, 2019 4.0 Overall, I have had a good experience with PCRecruiter. The occasional hiccup or update doesn't really change my opinion since the majority of the time the software functions as I want it to. Pros It's a platform you can learn quickly because of the layout and customization you can do to tailor it to your likes. There are many different options for all your CRM needs. Cons There are sometimes updates that seem to make using the software a little more difficult. One example, they changed the layout and how to add people and companies to a rollup. That feature has recently been adjusted, and it's better, but not 100%. Review Source GS Greg S. Director Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very happy with PCRecruiter" October 24, 2018 4.0 Overall, very good. Initial time setting everything off pays off in great time-saving later for the team. Pros Usability - the automation of the system is great. Spend the time setting things up and you won't regret it. Move the candidates through the process (Drag and drop) and relevant messages are sent out. Outlook connector is a great integration for communication tracking. Support are very responsive. Cons Initial setup takes significant time (for one person) when transferring from a bespoke system. Not completely unexpected, but was surprised it was so difficult to set up the system the way we wanted it in the test environment, and then wanted to transfer over live (most recent) data. Worked out in the end, but it was different from they way I thought the process would go. Review Source Matt B. President Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Seamless, reliable, user friendly" August 21, 2017 5.0 It just makes the recruiting process so easy! Pros Both the desktop app and mobile apps are outstanding, they are constantly updating and adding new features, and their customer service is TOP NOTCH! Review Source PH Penny H. Director of Operations Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PCR helps Administration too" May 29, 2019 5.0 We all have a central place for information and it is easily accessible. Once you use PCR it is easy to find your way around the info stored in it and you have plenty of areas where you can utilize the space to add other pertinent information for the business you are conducting. Pros I love that we can store documents like: fee agreements, invoices, letters, and resumes and other legal documents. Cons The fact that you can't see the past work history as easy as previous databases. Review Source Response from Main Sequence Technology May 30, 2019 Thank you for the feedback! Regarding work history, if you're not leveraging the History section on the records, you may want to touch base with our training team about it. That could be useful to you! Andy M. Managing Partner / Recruiter Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PCR is great for recruiting and tracking. The best. " May 30, 2019 5.0 The software keeps us proficient. Pros I the service is unparallel. Same day response. Friendly and Knowledgeable. The software is easy to use and robust w options. The software keeps us on the bleeding edge. Cons I really don't have any negatives. They are always working to make it better. Review Source JH John H. President Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "My best and most critical resource for recruiting success!" July 28, 2015 5.0 Pros PC Recruiter is, hands down, the best recruiting CRM software I have found on the market. Its functionality is way beyond any of its competitors. As a CRM consultant, I have high expectations for CRM software, and this program has exceeded them. In fact, I found that there were a whole lot more resources than I had anticipated: easy-to-use plugins for Outlook and Chrome, extensive options to communicate with clients and candidates, and a robust database that is able to take all the information I need, put it where it is easily accessible, and then be able to get a comprehensive "picture" of what I need to know. I have used other programs and the general attitude of the other vendors is something like this: "Here's what it is . . . here's how it works . . . it's up to you to figure out how you can make this work for your business." Using spreadsheets and Outlook was more efficient than what they offered - which is what I had to use in the past with certain software programs. When it comes to PCRecruiter, it's as if they asked me what I needed and then built a great program . . . and then asked me what my "dream" software would include . . . and then they met and exceeded my expectations. The salesperson asked me a lot of questions and then made sure the software and my eventual training addressed my needs, rather than talking at me about its capabilities. After trying the "best" programs and, frankly, finding no comparison to PCRecruiter, I don't want any of my competition to use it - I like having a clear advantage. Cons There isn't anything I don't like about PCRecruiter. It would be great if they gave the software away for free, but with the price being lower than a lot of their competitors . . . again, I can't complain about anything with PCRecruiter.
