Leverage the power
of PCRecruiter

Developers can now create and connect custom integrated software via our open API.

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 game-changing integration with Microsoft Outlook. Now it’s your turn.

From job boards to mobile applications, developers can unleash the power of PCRecruiter with our Open API. All that’s required is a valid API login for the database and the know-how.

For non-developers, check out our powerful integration with Zapier.

API Documentation

API Contract & Sandbox Versions

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.

0$/ month
