Welcome to this week’s product spotlight, where we highlight different technology companies
each week.
This show is produced by TechnologyAdvice where we Educate, Advise, and Connect buyers
and sellers of business technology.
In this week’s spotlight we have Chris Cyrus, a Senior Software Consultant, and Rachel Gulko,
a Sales Consultant at PCRecruiter.
I asked Chris to describe PCRecruiter in one sentence.
This is what he had to say.
PCRecruiter is a highly customizable applicant tracking system.
We fit a variety of industries.
More specifically, we focus on recruiting and staffing.
I followed up with a question about what differentiates PCRecruiter company from others.
At PCRecruiter, a lot of what we do is highly customizable, but also we do a lot of personalized
training.
You’re not sitting in a session, just generically, with other recruiters in the industry learning
about the software.
We dive in, we get and understanding for your process, and show you how to incorporate it
in the best way in PCR.
Next, I asked Rachel to talk about who the ideal customers are for PCRecruiter.
Our ideal customer really ranges from that small user to a multi location firm.
We work with recruiters, staffing companies, and even HR consultants.
The nice thing about us is that we work with a lot of single users.
If you start out small and eventually grow into, say, a 50 person firm, we’re going
to grow with you.
We are going to give you best practices and give you that support.
And really take your business where it needs to be.
We followed with a conversation about pricing.
This is how they broke it down for us.
Chris: At PCRecruiter we offer two different ways for pricing.
One of the ways would be our SaaS or Cloud model.
Rachel: With PCRecruiter our pricing varies based on the amount of users you have.
If you have one versus fifty people, your pricing is going to be different.
We start out with your start up cost, which is going to include your training, creation
of your database, and all the other support and initiation of everything that you need.
For a single user, it’s going to be around $500, if you have more than 5 people, it’s
going to be around $1500 and upwards.
Its really just depends.
As far as the user cost, you’re going to have the standard one year term pricing which
is $95 per user.
We also have other options.
If you want to do a longer term, maybe 2 or 3 years, or even if you want to do a month
to month basis.
Chris: The other option is the option of purchasing PCR.
Purchasing PCRecruiter would allow you to host PCRecruiter at your office on a server.
The difference, mainly being a one time purchase price, with option updates, versus the monthly
recurring.
I asked Chris what a limitation is for PCRecruiter.
A limitation with in PCRecruiter, a lot of customer may ask us as they evaluate different
software.
This question is a little bit tougher to answer, but the best way to answer it, in our case,
will be that we don’t specialize in internal recruiting.
What I mean by that is that we specifically work with recruiting and staffing organizations
worldwide.
When it comes to the point of doing more onboarding and maintaining employees, it’s not something
we specialize in.
I would say that is our weakest point.
Finally, I followed with a question for Rachel.
I asked her to talk about a best practice for implementing PCRecruiter.
As a former recruiter and user of PCRecruiter, the best practice that I can recommend when
you’re first setting up your records, such as your candidate records and your company
records, to have specific custom fields to really code those pieces of data in the system.
So that way when you actually do get a search, and you start looking for candidates, essentially
you would want to look in your own database first.
With the more specific custom fields, such as the industry someone is a part of or skills
a candidate may have, you’re going to get better results.
