Faster Applicant Tracking with the Resume Inhaler

The PCRecruiter Resume Inhaler is a companion to the PCRecruiter Windows, ASP, or Web-Based Recruiting software system. It is a separate piece of software with its own license, installation, and documentation.

Time Saving

The Inhaler can be pointed to a folder and/or to an email inbox containing resumes, and will automatically extract contact information and create new name records in any PCRecruiter database. The Inhaler uses PCRecruiter's sophisticated resume handling engine to preserve format and map the proper information into the proper fields, saving hours of data entry time.

The Inhaler works equally well with both the Windows and Web versions of PCRecruiter. Although it is not 100% accurate, it will tag the records that it creates so that any errors may be corrected at a later time.


Configurable

The Inhaler is programmed to recognize the resume formats of leading Job Boards and Resume Banks, but you may adjust the resume definitions as they change for greater accuracy. Users may also configure the Inhaler to recognize custom formats – items like forms downloaded from your website or from an e-recruiting partner. You may even configure the Inhaler to send an Auto-Response mail of your own design.

If you are doing corporate applicant tracking, the Inhaler can create the required records in the database to connect applicants to specific requisitions if your requisition identifier appears in the resume, body, or subject line of the email that contains it. The Inhaler will auto-record the source (in many cases) for tracking ad effectiveness and other metrics. If the Inhaler does not recognize a source, you can identify one at a later time or possibly configure the Inhaler to recognize it in the future.


Money Saving

Many corporations are paying on a per resume basis and waiting up to 72 hours for emailed Resumes to be processed into their ATS systems. The PCRecruiter Inhaler can do it in a tiny fraction of the time, and depending on volume, pay for itself in a very short interval.

Organizations that outsource paper resumes can gain speed and lower costs by Inhaling the processed resumes. Because of the standard output post-processing, the Inhaler will be 100% accurate, enabling a one-step integration between your choice of third-party resume processor and your PCRecruiter ATS.


Innovation By Subtraction

Many ATS systems and point-source resume extraction vendors offer some level of auto- processing. Most reduce the document to plain text, add that text to a searchable database, and then link the original document from the file system of the server to a database record. Some systems attempt (to varying degrees of success) to extract past employers, education, and skill data and include it in the database. This works for some purposes, but re-modeling file systems and linked documents is a hassle if you run the system yourself. The efficacy of using auto-extracted skill and education information is unproven and anecdotally ranges from “must-have” to “worse than worthless”.

The PCRecruiter Inhaler, by contrast, places the actual document directly into the database. The Inhaler makes no judgments about the records beyond the contact data, which it extracts with industry-leading accuracy into PCRecruiter, itself a proven tool for executing recruiting and staffing functions. PCRecruiter can be used for contextual searching of all resume data, filtered by useful demographic, assessment, and other methods appropriate to the need.
