On Wednesday, April 2 our partner Quil will be co-hosting a webinar with us about their PCR integrated note-taking AI for recruiting teams. Register now!

Quil

Date: April 2, 2024
Time: 1:30 PM Eastern
Registration: Zoom Signup Link

Recruiting in 2025 is evolving. Over half of agency owners now plan to use contingency recruiting models as their primary approach, and AI is playing a growing role with:

  • 61% of firms using AI for better data management.
  • 46% leveraging AI for data enrichment.
  • 62% turning to AI for candidate sourcing.

Yet, 42% of placements still come from candidates already in your ATS database—candidates who often need to be re-sourced. This not only extends your time-to-fill but also reduces profitability by duplicating recruiter effort, using extra sourcing tool credits, and increasing dependency on LinkedIn Recruiter.

That’s where PCR and Quil come in.

Quil integrates seamlessly with PCR to:

  • Update your database automatically after calls.
  • Automatically produce branded write-ups in minutes, not hours or days.
  • Help you uncover hidden, high-quality candidates in your ATS for faster placements.

Join the webinar on April 2, 2025 @ 1:30pm EST to see how PCR and Quil can help you streamline processes, shorten time-to-fill, and boost profitability in 2025. The session will be recorded, so register even if you can’t sign in for the live event.

PCR joins partners at CarbonWeb on March 5th at 1 PM EST for an exclusive webinar about the power of transparent pipeline data and how it can transform your recruiting efforts and increase your placements.

Automated Communication That Feels Personal

Sense helps companies automatically build relationships with their candidates and clients. Sense delivers personal email and text message communications mapped to each candidate’s unique journey, then captures it in PCRecruiter. From on-boarding to redeployment, Sense automates communication for new and existing applicants and existing employees – saving time and driving up the bottom line.

More Candidates, Faster Placements

With involuntary turnover as high as 25% and redeployment rates lower than 5%, staffing and recruiting firms can no longer afford to neglect candidate engagement. Sense consistently nurtures the dormant contacts in your database to drive higher engagement, quicker placements, and more revenue. On average, recruiting teams using Sense see their candidate NPS double and for our staffing clients, their redeployment rates increase to almost 30%.

Get The Most Out Of Your PCRecruiter Data

Sense’s enterprise grade integration with PCRecruiter syncs data in real-time. Every message and response associates to the correct PCR contact record, while every PCR field is usable within the Sense platform to make your outreach relevant and timely.

Give Your Recruiters Two-Way Texting Superpowers

Texting candidates results in an average response time of under 90 seconds and reply rate of 51%. With stats like that, your team can’t afford to just being sending emails. Sense Messaging gives recruiters the ability to send broadcasts and 1:1 texts directly from PCRecruiter. And every conversation gets captured back to the candidate record – at no cost to you.

LinkMatch

LinkMatch makes searching LinkedIn for candidates simpler, easier, and faster by telling you which candidates are already in PCRecruiter.

For more info, visit www.LinkMatch.net

More integrations are always being worked on. If you’ve got a favorite third-party utility, let them know that your ATS has an open API they can build on!

Video Transcript

Welcome to this week’s Two Minute Tuesday, Main Sequence’s series of short videos with tips, tricks, and tutorials to make you a more powerful PCRecruiter user.

This week we’ll be looking at how PCRecruiter works with RingCentral, an integrated partner that gives users the ability to launch calls from PCR records, get incoming call popups linking to the matching PCR records, or send SMS text messages to one or multiple recipients at a time, and all with full activity tracking and reporting.

Here’s the RingCentral desktop app popping up, and now PCRecruiter pops up an indicator showing that there are records in my database matching the incoming call’s phone number. Clicking on the popup brings up the names, companies, and jobs bearing that phone number. Now I’ve got instant access to the records relevant to this call.

Well, now that you’ve seen an incoming call, let’s look at the outgoing side of things. If we mouse over any phone field on a record, the icons to call or text appear to the right. If we click on the phone icon, the PCR dialing popup appears with a short countdown, and then launches the RingCentral app to make the call. The popup remains visible so that we can write in some activity text while we’re on the call.

If we click on the SMS icon, the dialer window appears and we can select from the available phone numbers on the record to send a text message. We’ll click on the mobile number, which launches a fresh text message window in the RingCentral app.

Any calls or texts you which make on your RingCentral phone number, whether from a PCRecruiter screen, RingCentral’s interface, or the RingCentral mobile app, will generate activities on any record in your database matching the phone number. This means that you can keep your business communications and contacts separate from your personal cell number and still do your job on the go. Call and text logs from RingCentral are synchronized back to PCRecruiter’s Activities every few minutes, so now if we check back into the Activities area, we’ll see the inbound call, outbound call and text message have all been listed.

If we want to send the same text to multiple recipients at the same time, which can be helpful in notifying several candidates about a new opening, updating people on the status of a job, and so forth, we need to start by getting the recipients’ permission to include them in our bulk SMS messages. Check your local laws and regulations on bulk texting.

When RingCentral is enabled, a new Form Letter is added to the system which can be sent to your contacts, asking them to text the word Subscribe or Unsubscribe to your unique RingCentral number. The resulting Opt In list can be found and worked with by searching for SMS in the System area.

The bulk SMS option appears in the Action menu on your Rollup Lists and Search Results. You’ll select the records you want and click the SMS icon. The popup window indicates whether any of the people selected aren’t currently opted into your bulk texts, with the option to send the pre-defined invitation Form Letter to them automatically from this screen. To send a text to those who have opted in, you’ll just fill in the box with your message and click “Send”. RingCentral queues them up and sends them as individual texts from your phone number so that the recipients can text or call back.

If you’d like to get started with RingCentral and PCRecruiter, contact your Main Sequence representative for all the details.

In this 45-minute double-header, Jon Guidi, Founder/CRO of HIRABL, talks about how their service can help track down ‘back door hires,’ which result in millions of dollars in lost placement fees every year. Then, RingCentral Solutions Engineer Derek Hanson talks about their powerful voice and texting system, which adds VOIP/SMS features into your PCRecruiter toolbox.

The HIRABL portion begins around the 2 minute mark, and RingCentral begins around 17 minutes, followed by a demo of how RingCentral works inside of PCR at the 36 minute mark.

Join Main Sequence’s Drew Rothman and HIRABL’s Jon Guidi for this informal webinar to learn about Fee Catcher and RingCentral, two of PCRecruiter’s most exciting recent partnerships.

1:00 PM EST / 10:00 AM PST on Wednesday, December 2.

Hirabl - Creators of Fee CatcherRecruiters lose an estimated $1,000,000,000 (one billion!) in fees every year when clients hire their candidates and don’t tell them (often called “backdoor hires”).

HIRABL created Fee Catcher, a service that tracks the movement of your candidates and notifies you when one is hired so that you never miss a hard-earned fee. They have already helped PCR clients identify and collect “backdoor hires” worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and have developed services to track candidate and hiring manager movements that deliver high-value sales leads to recruiters worldwide.

The automated back-door checks save us dozens of hours of staff time, and the constant upgrading of the interface and offerings provide more ROI for us all the time. In our first six months, one of their back door catches turned into a $30K placement fee for us! — Paul Silitsky, CEO, answerQUEST


RingCentralRingCentral’s all-inclusive cloud phone system features HD video meetings, unified voice, fax, text, and audio conferencing, and delivers the high quality, reliability, and value expected by enterprise businesses.

PCRecruiter’s new direct integration with RingCentral allows users to click to dial or text from any contact record in the database, making more dials faster. Call attempts are automatically recorded as activity records, making it easier than ever to report on your communications with contacts and candidates. And when you receive an incoming call, the matching records in PCR are automatically loaded to prepare you for the call.

Representatives from Main Sequence will be joining our partners from Scout at their booth for next week's Staffing Industry Analysts Executive Forum in San Diego. We're very excited about the new integration with the Scout recruitment marketplace and will be there to help show how PCRecruiter and Scout work together to bring recruiters broader and bigger placement opportunities.

Main Sequence has released PCRecruiter version 8.6 to our ASP-hosted users. While the majority of the changes in this update are ‘under the hood’ improvements, the new update does include two major improvements.

One is our new integration with Insight Squared, a staffing analytics provider that offers PCRecruiter users a deeper look into the pipeline, employee-level trend data such as time-to-fill, forecasting of sales and completed job orders, benchmarks of employee productivity, quality monitoring of field data, and more.  Fred Shilmover, CEO of InsightSquared, says “InsightSquared is very excited to offer PCRecruiter customers a comprehensive way of looking at their staffing data. With the new reporting tools at their reach, these companies will be able to better leverage their own data to make decision that will positively impact their bottom line.” To sign up or for more info, contact Insight Squared.

In addition, our 8.6 release includes enhancements to the PCRecruiter public API. This second round of API functions includes the new REST method, in addition to the existing SOAP method. The REST method will allow for even easier integration with our API for third-party developers.
