I've used a lot of very expensive systems, and PCRecruiter has the best functionality by far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PCRecruiter?

The main reason for this review is to praise the PCRecruiter tech support team for their consistently exceptional service. I've been using PCRecruiter as an agency recruiter as well as a two-time agency owner/partner. Since I started working with Main Sequence and PCRecruiter back in 2005, the tech support that I've received has always been prompt, courteous, on-point, and exceeded all expectation. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. That's saying somthing!!! I'm also an "old" computer user, "Hi, I'm Sean, and I'm a PC." if you remember those commercials on TV. I've describe PCRecruiter this way, to quote the great American poet, Han Solo, "...she may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid." PCRecruiter may have a LINUX/UNIX/DOS look to it, but it is amazingly powerful and completely customizable. ***** Five stars - highly recommended! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?

Honestly, I can't think of anything that I don't like about PCRecruiter. Maybe some improvements or upgrades that include an easier to use dashboard function where reports and analytics could be displayed for client meetings and presentations. Having said that, I sincerely feel like PCRecruiter and Main Sequence are always investing in the platform; making tweaks and improvements to increase the ease and functionality of the software not to mention full blown software version editions/upgrades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?

PCRecruiter has been my only ATS/CRM since starting recruiting with Management Recruiters back in 2005. I've tried several other recruiting software platforms over the years but have always come back to PCRecruiter. There aren't any specific "problems" that PCRecruiter is solving for me as PCRecruiter IS my platform and drives my entire recruiting business. The new Sequencing application in the PCRecruiter platform is a significant boom to my business and has streamlined and organized many of my recursive communication tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Andrew Rothman of PCRecruiter

Thank you so much for the glowing review, Sean! We appreciate your continued use of PCR over the years and we look forward to continuing to provide you with the sort of stellar service you've come to expect.

What do you like best about PCRecruiter?

We recently had a technical issue with our website that was preventing our job board from displaying properly. Andrew Rothman from PC Recruiter went above and beyond to help us resolve it.

When we first mentioned the problem, Andrew promptly offered a potential solution and advice on how to address it. But he didn’t stop there—he followed up within a week to check if the issue was resolved. When he found out it was still ongoing, he encouraged us to hop on a call with him to work through the problem together.

What truly stood out was his dedication. Most other companies or individuals wouldn’t have followed up like that, especially since this issue wasn’t even caused by PC Recruiter—it stemmed from our website.

The support from Andrew, and everyone we’ve worked with at PC Recruiter, has been incredible. Their commitment to their clients, combined with their excellent products and continuous improvements to their software, makes them a standout company. Highly recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?

I really can't think of anything. I know they are working on adding more AI features, which will be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mangaing resumes that we send to our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Andrew Rothman of PCRecruiter

Thanks very much for the kudos, Charles. Getting the job done right is always our goal, even if it means going outside the norm to get to the bottom of an issue. We appreciate you being a customer and we look forward to showing you some great new features and tools in the coming year!

What do you like best about PCRecruiter?

PCRecruiter is a leader in the recruiting and staffing software industry. It is by far the best recruiting software on the market because it is designed by a team that has deep roots in the recruiting and staffing world AND they listen to their users! The product is extremely well supported and continues to get better based upon feedback from top recruiter and staffing industry experts. It is a solid product that can be customized to integrate into and enhance exisiting processes, improve productivity, and provide a great experience for applicants, candidates, internal/external hiring managers, client companies, and users. For third party recruiters and staffing agencies it allows you to seamlessly intergrate business development processes with the delivery of recruiting processes and services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?

The only downside (if you can call it that) is that PCRecruiter is a serious tool with tremendous capabilities, which means it does require a bit of planning and forethought to get the most out of the product. However the relatively small learning curve is off-set by the benfits of having a solid, dependable, and robust tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?

PCRecruiter has significantly streamlined our candidate/applicant funnel which has allowed us to manage a greater number of ongoing requisitions without sacrficing quality. We also benefit from a centralized CRM that makes business development and client management much easier since all the relevent information, contact names, companies, positions, applicants, and notes are all easily accessable in a coherent manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PCRecruiter?

I've been a customer of PCR since they started and would never change. The people there are super responsive and their tech support is top-notch. PCR is constantly being improved based on user feedback. I have sent ideas to PCR and have had them show up in new releases. Love that!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?

Great question, but there is nothing that I dislike about PCR. I would be lost without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?

When I started with PCR, we were on a paper system (yes...many moons ago...) and were overwhelmed. With PCR, I can find and communicate with everyone I need. I also use PCR for Bulk Emails which I have done for years and that is a key ingredient to our marketing which has been very successful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PCRecruiter?

It is built with a recruiter in mind, it uses Roll-Ups to keep all your candidates, companies and positions in check. The Rollup Stages (Lifeblood) are customizable and automated, they have sequencing which is new and takes away you having to think and finally they have the analytics/metrics which when running teams are vital.

They have PCR Capture which makes adding candidates from LinkedIn very easy., Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?

The sequencing part which is the text messaging only really works through RingCentral. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?

They allow us to keep detailed records of our process across multiple recruiters. It is accessible online from anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PCRecruiter?

As a user, I loved that it kept a great history of all the things connected to a name and client. Also, think it was pretty easy to learn and customize to how I wanted to view things.

Now as an admin, it has some great automations we can set up to make reporting (mostly done by me) and user lives easier.

Excellent support / customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PCRecruiter?

Wish it was a little easier to integrate / had some other automations.

This may be more a user training thing but wish is was better at noticing potential duplicates so fewer got made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PCRecruiter solving and how is that benefiting you?

Managing our applicants, candidate and client relations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
