I was with them until I retired and loved the experience

Pros

Everything a recruiter could want is in the program. Everything is searchable, however see below. Customer service is great. Their people know you personally.

Cons

Not always as intuitive as it could be. Searches could be a little difficult. Doesn't integrate with my softphone

Stacy is fantastic. The software has enabled my business to grow through the roof and fosters our growth by providing a variety of features to help track anything/eveything you want. The training team, led by Stacy, is exceptional and there is not a question they cannot answer.

Pros

Very easy to use and simple for beginners to learn.

Cons

Nothing, I've been working with PCR for several years.

### "Powerful but outdated"

November 4, 2016

3.0

After trying PCR for a few months we decided to go back to our old ATS. There is no question that PCR is powerful, but it is probably too powerful for the average user. I need my recruiters to be successful quickly, and there is certainly a large learning curve. We also all agreed that tasks took much longer in PCR and a lot of modern shortcuts were missing. I think PCR could be great with continual development to keep things fresh and modern. An overall UX/UI facelift is badly needed. More integration partners would also be nice. I will say that customer service was wonderful. They really worked with me to make it work, but there were some things my organization simply could not overcome that cost us valuable time. I do wish they had refunded my setup fee, which was supposed to be for website integration... we never got that far.

Pros

Very customizable, easy CSV data import, good email integration.

Cons

Every task takes a long time, and there is no way to quickly screen through candidates in a pipeline. Customization is great, but finding where to customize is not intuitive. It also lacks modern interface and continued development seems slow. No trial period.

### "PCRecruiter"

December 27, 2021

4.0

Pros

Once you get used to it and are taught how to use it, It is an easy-to-operate Applicant Tracking System. It is also quite all-encompassing.

Cons

Can be finicky and tedious, especially when switching over to a different ATS. Also is hard to delete a company profile without deleting all of its employee profiles and contents.

### "PCRecruiter software - excellent value"

November 28, 2016

4.0

We have been using PCRecruiter for several years now and are very pleased. The support staff is excellent and very responsive, as is their training staff (special shout out to Nick Mazzone, who is great!). In addition, they keep coming out with new features and functionality that continue to make our recruiters and sales staff more efficient. Their Two Minute Tuesdays instructional videos are great for helping us to continue to take advantage of all the features.

Pros

The ease of use, functionality and responsiveness of their support and training staff.

Cons

Nothing.

### "PCR Review"

February 13, 2017

2.0

My experience with PCR is not the best. It takes a lot of time to upload all the information about each and every candidate to this system. Everything has to be put manually, if the layout of the resume is not standard the system does not recognize the right information and then all that wrong info has to be changed manually again. When I look for some candidate who I know for sure is in the system PCR tells me sometimes that this person is not found. Also what is not convenient is that it doesn't collect resumes from the job boards. The layout is a bit complicated, you have to open every window separately, so when you open the candidate's page you can't see the whole info right away, you have to open notes and then if he had an interview you have to go to those notes to find out the feedback. This system does not save your time, but takes a lot of time to use, for no reason.

Pros

The only think I like about PCR is that it can capture profile from LinkedIn.

Cons

Everything has to be put manually, if the layout of the resume is not standard the system does not recognize the right information and then all that wrong info has to be changed manually again.

I am able to track all communication between myself and the candidates or clients.

Pros

I like that I am able to send mass bulk emails all at once.

Cons

I wish there was a way to link our candidates to an excel sheet or have a better way to query tracking of candidates.

### "Best CRM for Recruiting"

August 7, 2019

5.0

Just like all CRMs, there are good ones, bad ones, over priced ones and "what where they thinking" ones. I think this is the best one for recruiters out there.

Pros

The addons and ability to quickly add candidates from a pipeline sales perspective and recruitment perspective has allow us to identify someone and capture it quickly. This means we can capture, add notes, reach out, move to the next one with ease.

Cons

Although the recruitment side of it is great, the sales pipeline and reporting is not as great. I do however use it for such and found some great ways to help. I use this as my daily driver for sales of new business.

None - good stuff

Thanks for the review, Kevin! As for the number of 'recently viewed' people visible at a time, that varies a bit by screen size. In most other screens it's a number you can configure. Check in with the training team!

### "Great software!!!"

August 14, 2019

5.0

Pros

After using the same software for 17 years, I was very skeptical about changing. I was pleasantly surprised by the user friendliness of PCR and how easy the change was. The custom-ability is definitely the best part.

Cons

There are a few things I would like changed that are hard programmed where you can't.... but overall we love it.

Reason for choosing PCRecruiter

Price and the custom features.

5.0

Pros

The icons tell you what they are before you even have to click on anything. I have not been using PC Recruiter long - but feel comfortable in using it with ease. There is a learning curve that is easy to beat and understand what the processes are.

Cons

A new tab is always opening, it has it's reasons but it can be frustrating because it is easy to get lost.

Would highly recommend. This will save you time and money.

Pros

The ease of looking up candidates that match the qualifications needed to fill our open job orders. The ability to search by keyword is a great time saver and allows your recruiters to spend more time being productive.

Cons

Too many steps in the hiring process for general labor/manufacturing candidates. Overall it is a great tool and will save a lot of time.

### "Direction Recruitment Admin review of PCR "

November 20, 2016

4.0

Enjoy using pcr - only real issue for me is the using the email part of PCR for mass emails to our clients and candidates. It does not have many of the functualities of outlook or other email systems so we have to resort to very basic templates.

Pros

Quite user friendly

Cons

The email set up.

For 18 years I have used PCRecruiter. They have ALWAYS been there for whatever question I throw at them. The LinkedIn integration and the resume parser are worth their weight in gold.

Pros

The resume parser and the LinkedIn integration

Cons

sometimes I need help with reporting
