Leverage the power of PCRecruiter

The way you recruit is unique to your organization. That’s why we’ve opened up our API to enable developers to leverage the true potential of your PCRecruiter database.

Previously only available to our in-house development team, PCRecruiter’s API enabled us to build our integration with Microsoft Outlook, our PCR Capture plugin, and the PCRM interface. Now it’s your turn! The basic API is available at no added cost to all PCRecruiter accounts.

Our REST API gives qualified developers secure, programmatic access to the core data that powers your recruiting operation — names, companies, jobs, placements, activities, and the connections between them. Whether you’re a staffing firm with a proprietary workflow or an enterprise HR team with specialized reporting needs, the API lets you build the exact solution your operation requires.

What developers can build with the PCRecruiter API:

  • Custom job integrations — Pull live openings directly from your PCRecruiter database into custom-built job boards, niche posting systems, or aggregators
  • Data import/export tools — Automate the movement of candidate and client records between PCRecruiter and other platforms, eliminating duplicate data entry.
  • Custom reporting and dashboards — Surface the KPIs that matter most to your team by querying your PCRecruiter data directly.
  • Workflow automation — Trigger actions in PCRecruiter based on events in other systems, or push PCRecruiter updates outward to the tools your team already uses.
  • Third-party integrations — Connect PCRecruiter to background check providers, assessment platforms, phone systems, payroll tools, and more.

The pricing of the API is based on the number of ‘calls’ per day made to the API. A ‘call’ is any connection to the API to send or receive data (passing the login credentials to connect to the system, retrieving a list of job titles, retrieving a single job or name record, uploading a resume, submitting a group of fields, retrieving a dropdown of available cities, etc.) The type of API contract can be changed at any time.
