How To Change Recruitment Software Without Losing Fifteen Years Of History
Years of candidate history is the main reason firms stay on software they’ve stopped liking. Here’s a practical guide to moving safely: what to export first, what doesn’t come across on its own, and the questions to ask before you switch.
Your Data Is Yours. Always.
“Your data is yours” is easy to say. Here’s how it works at PCRM: a private single-tenant database, an independent SOC 2 examination, a clear line on AI training, and plain answers on what happens if you leave.
How Fast Does Your Recruiting Software Pick Up The Phone?
A candidate is hours from accepting a counter offer and your system won’t cooperate. What does waiting in a ticket queue cost a boutique recruiting firm, and why does support response time so rarely make the software shortlist? Here are PCRecruiter’s support numbers, plus four checks you can run on any vendor before you sign.
PCRM Update + MCP Released
Recently, we promised we’d be putting out updates more frequently and with more information. That begins today, with details on big improvements to PCRM and the release of our MCP.

A new update to the PCRecruiter systems is online today. As always, we’ve included a number of enhancements, code fixes, and system improvements in PCR 9 and PCRM as well as several exciting new features in our recently updated WordPress plugin.

PCRecruiter Extensions 2.0 for WordPress transforms your job board with job full-sync for superior speed, improved SEO, controllable structured data for Google Jobs and LinkedIn sharing, and full design control.
Improved CSV Bulk Import

Automating Recruitment while Retaining the Human Element
The job of recruiting in 2025 is, to put it mildly, complex. Of course, you’ve still got the classic struggles of juggling open roles (many, if you’re lucky!), engaging with a constant stream of jobseekers, and striving to build lasting relationships with your clients. However, the modern recruiter also has to balance the need for efficiency and competitiveness with the fundamental human connections that underpin successful placements.

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), enacted in 1991, is designed to protect consumers from unsolicited calls and messages.

How secure is your recruiting email?
In the ongoing battle for data security, recruiter communications can be on the front lines. Email — a tool so familiar its security can be taken for granted — can be a vulnerability or a fortress. What if the solution to secure, cost-effective communication isn’t a flashy new technology, but a proven, robust standard that’s been quietly safeguarding information for decades? Enter IMAP with SSL/TLS: the unsung hero of recruitment email security.

Can Recruiters Multitask? Research suggests not.
Being a great multitasker is often regarded as a key skill for recruiters. Between business development, candidate outreach, interviews, calls, emails, and beyond, there is pressure to juggle multiple tasks simultaneously. However, the research suggests that true multitaskers are as rare as the proverbial purple squirrel.

G2’s Winter 2024 reports recognize PCR with ‘Users Most Likely to Recommend’ and ‘Best Support’ badges.
Well-Formed: Recruiter Notetaking with Forms
