Review Source TP Tami P. Sr. Associate Development Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Review of PCRecruiter" May 31, 2019 4.0 Overall PCRecruiter is a good system with the ability to be customized more towards what you need. You could do a lot with it if you have the time to do so. Pros I like the PC Capture feature where you can pull information from other sites like LinkedIn, Monster, Careerbuilder, etc.. Cons I felt like it was somewhat difficult to search with keywords and would have liked the highlight feature. I don't seem to get accurate results. Review Source CH Carolyn H. Executive Assistant/HR Coordinator Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PCRecruiter Meets My Needs" May 30, 2019 3.0 I use PCRecruiter when setting up new employees in ADP; I often refer to some of the candidates online documents to confirm information. Pros It is very easy to use; easy to create custom reports. Cons Can sometimes be time consuming having to "click-through" so many pages. Review Source BM Briese M. Recruiting Assistant Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good platform with nice features" May 29, 2019 4.0 We use PCRecrutier to track candidates throughout the recruitment process. Pros Nice integration with 3rd party tools that make data import a snap. Bulk email integration is also very nice. Cons There is a bit of a learning curve. Data parsing is bit buggy.

Lead Technical Recruiter Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Really Easy to use " August 13, 2019 5.0 Pros Search capability, being able to run build active rollup list and monitor my progress and my team.

The features and capabilities are great for reports. Cons I would like the functionality of having more users to have LinkedIn Recruiter Integration. Does seem to have many bugs at time. Review Source NG Nathan G. COO Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Affordable and Functional" July 31, 2019 5.0 Pros There are a lot of functions available for use in this software, but it's designed in a way that you can choose to use what you want. Nothing we don't use is in our way or makes using the software harder. Cons I would like it if the roll ups could be sorted by the quality of the match to a search. Review Source AH Alisha H. Recuiter Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Make Sense!" July 31, 2019 5.0 I love the software that it is set up in a way to locate anything quickly. Pros I like that this software is very user friendly. Cons The lag sometimes but they may be an internet issue. Review Source Response from Main Sequence Technology August 1, 2019 Thanks for your review, Alisha! We're glad PCR is making your job easier! JQ Jennifer Q. VP Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PCR is a plus" May 31, 2019 5.0 PCR has supported our business for over a decade. It is very user friendly. The support team is great. Pros Ease of use. Easy to note and track candidates. Good storage vault for contact information. Cons You don't always know all of the features Review Source DS David S. Managing Partner Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool" January 5, 2017 5.0 We have been with PCR for close to 15 years, the new tools they have come out with making it easier to use than ever before. The "Capture" feature, the Outlook, portal, and the ability to integrate with our Outlook calendar are game changers. The training and tech support have been excellent as we are in the midst of a major database update. Pros Outlook portal, Capture feature for social networks. Cons Inability to link Chrome to the outlook portal when using the "Capture feature. Review Source Julie M. Project Manager Used the software for: ### "Web Extensions" March 31, 2010 5.0 Web Extensions is a feature of PCR that I really like and would recommend to anyone who wants to save time placing job posts on the web. Pros Customer service, set-up and training at Main Sequence made this an easy transition to Web Extensions for job posting with a big upside in time saving and exposure for important job posts. We started using Web Extensions with PCR about 2 months ago and find it a great way to get job posts out on the web and make immediate changes to posts via our website. From the integration with PCR we can post to Indeed and Simply Hired as well as MRI Network with ease. Ladders and others are to follow. Future updates to Web Extensions will allow you to change the fields on the posts to your website. When that happens Web Extensions will then meet our needs at a 5 star level. Best of all, the posts look really great. Cons Haven't found any yet! Review Source SS Susan S. Recruiter Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Highly recommend PCRecruiter, makes your life easier" August 27, 2019 5.0 I have been using PCRecruiter for ten years and love it Pros Easy to navigate and great tool for keeping our candidates organized Cons I honestly can't say there is anything I dislike about the product Review Source Response from Main Sequence Technology August 28, 2019 Thank you for the review, Susan! aC amanda C. appointment setter Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "This product help grow our buisness" June 4, 2019 5.0 Love using it to keep leads and clients organized, and convenient for emailing large groups. they fix soft wear problems fast. Pros easy to use, and convenient for keeping data organized ad at your finger tips. Cons it fills in blanks like zip code, when you don't put it in the address section, and you filled in city, and state. In this big city we work in, it's not always the correct code. Review Source SM Stewart M. Recruiting Manager Defense & Space Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "PC Recruiter" May 9, 2019 5.0 STI was already using PC Recruiter when I joined the company. One of the first projects I undertook was to learn the system and determine the best way for our recruiting team to use it. I found it was very easy to navigate and had some built in functionality that I hadn't seen before. We now have more team members using it and learning new things all the time. Pros The user interface. It's very clean and very easy to navigate, offering multiple ways for an applicant to sort / search through our openings. Cons The only knock I have against it, is I wish the Notes fields where featured on the Record's home screen instead of having to click to them. That's not a major issue, of course, but it's the only thing that I would say I liked least. Review Source Response from Main Sequence Technology May 14, 2019 Thanks Stewart! Regarding the Notes field, you can include the Notes in your custom screen layout if you wish, and use the + at the top right of the record to add new notes all without leaving the main screen. We'll get someone to send you the specifics! Carlos P. Managing Partner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great tool" October 22, 2018 4.0 Pros Lots of great features for Recruiters. Makes our job much easier Cons Better Statistical reports specially on emails sent Review Source PS Paul S. President Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "20+ Year User" December 14, 2016 4.0 We have been a customer for a long time. We evaluate the market and competitors products every couple years and continue to stick with PCR. We have found PCR to give us the all the necessary functionality at a great value. Training and support have always been very responsive! Pros It works! It provides us all the functionality we use on a daily basis. In fact, it provides far more than we actually use. It never goes down. Availability at 100% Review Source SM Sarah M. Recruitment Consultant Farming Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Exceptional Recruitment Package" November 22, 2016 5.0 PCRecruiter is a powerful recruitment package that allows for fast, effective and efficient recruitment solutions. All aspects are fully integrated (email, interviews, posting to job boards) and the customer service team are only an email away. Pros Fully integrated, no need for additional software. Cons As a self-hosted user, there can sometimes be loading delays. This has less to do with the software and more to do with our hosting arrangements. Review Source BJ Barry J. President Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PCRecruiter Review" May 30, 2019 5.0 Pros Specifically built for our industry so it features functions and capabilities that match our workflow. Cons I really don't have any complaints. It does virtually everything I would like it to. Review Source HD Heather D. Recruiting Manager Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PCR Review" October 22, 2018 4.0 PCR has gone from one of my most dreaded resources, because it was a lot to learn, to one of my most valuable resources. I find it much more user friendly than other ATS applications. Pros The PCR Portal simplifies everything tremendously. It makes it easy to track everything directly from Outlook. Cons There are too many ways to accomplish the same task making it somewhat confusing for new users to get a handle on the software. Review Source CG Clare G. Researcher/Recruiter Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The PC Recruiter Experience" December 7, 2016 5.0 The team at PC Recruiter have been consistently very good over the years and as a business, we have been very happy with their service levels. The software program itself is user-friendly when compared to other recruitment databases and serves our requirements very well. I would highly recommend this software over other recruitment software out in the market currently. Pros It's easy to use compared to other recruitment software programs I have used in the past. Review Source SH Sean H. Recruiting Director Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product" May 31, 2019 5.0 Pros Customer service is extremely friendly and helpful. Also, the company actually does take into account user feedback and implements a lot of great ideas from the forums, which is nice to see. Cons Not too many issues, just small things here and there that are unavoidable with any product. Any issues are addressed very timely by the company. Review Source ED Edward D. President Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "10 years of PC Recruiter Experience as a "power user"" July 13, 2016 2.5 Pros Product has a very rich toolkit of functionality. The people with whom you interact at Main Sequence are very friendly, responsive, and helpful. Pricing model is consistent with the competition. Thorough understanding of how Staffing Agencies function. Cons Unfortunately the User Interface is awful, requires too many mouse clicks to accomplish simple tasks, makes terrible use of screen "real estate," and has the look and feel of a pre-90's product; not in any way up-to-date with Web 2.0 functionality. It's unfortunate, really, because the product does just about anything that a staffing agency would want - just very clunky (and for the uninitiated very confusing). It feels like the company has grown complacent because of its very large install base. Review Source JC Jodi C. Recruiter Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great tool" August 10, 2020 5.0 I have enjoyed the ease of use and the integration with our other tools. Pros I like the ease of use and it's very easy to navigate. Cons I wish that the steps through interviewing, offer acceptance, etc. did not show as an interview. Review Source Response from Main Sequence Technology August 14, 2020 Thank you for your glowing review of PCRecruiter! You'll be pleased to hear that we're transitioning away from the 'interview' terminology in a major upcoming release. DP Drew P. Owner/President Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great in theory but performs extremely poorly" November 21, 2016 1.0 The initial conversations/demos that we went through worked very well and the functionality that was shown was extremely appealing. PCR worked well for about the first month and a half and then issue after issue kept coming up...first the LinkedIn integration tool wasn't working on one employees computer which then slowly made it to the rest of the company. Then, the Outlook stand-alone browser (which you have to use in order to have PCR log emails) didn't work. Over the course of the next two months, neither of these tools were ever resolved and after bringing up the issues over and over again (that kept getting ignored since it was clear they didn't have a solution) we cut ties since they weren't even willing to offer us any sort of refund or discount and seeing that those were the two items that we were the most excited to use, the product held no value. Pros Unfortunately, there aren't too many things that come to mind. Cons The lack of solutions was the biggest, any time an issue arose, there were always "very helpful" people to let us know that they were on it right away (but then tried to sell us on some new functionality). The price they charge for a tool that doesn't work was very disappointing. Review Source BB Blake B. Account Executive Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very valuable." September 20, 2019 5.0 Very, very good. Helps me manage the day-to-day on my desk. Pros Ability to manage all contacts - candidates and companies - in one place. Cons The scheduling/calendaring component is a bit wonky. Review Source Response from Main Sequence Technology September 24, 2019 Thanks for your review, Blake!
