PCRecruiter’s new update, v. 9.8.9, comes with new Feedback organization and in-app Notifications features that will help keep you and your team informed and in touch. Plus, we have added brand new free webinars to our schedule for Spring/Summer 2022.
PCRecruiter’s new update, v. 9.8.9, comes with two major upgrades that will help keep you and your team informed and in touch. As always, this update also includes dozens of behind-the-scenes fixes and enhancements. Plus, we have added brand new free webinars to our schedule for Spring/Summer 2022.
The brand new PCR Notifications give you configurable real-time alerts that you can use to communicate with your team and monitor key events in your recruitment process. These notifications appear at the bottom right corner of your PCRecruiter screen, where they remain visible for 5 seconds if none of the links contained in them are clicked on. If no action is taken on a notification, it is moved to the PCR Notifications sidebar, accessed via a numbered badge on your user icon at the top right corner of the screen. Notifications remain in the sidebar for up to seven days, or until the links in them are clicked on.
A new Send PCR Notification option appears in the Action menu at the top of all Name, Company, and Position records in your database. By clicking on this option, you can send a PCR Notification including a live link to the current record, plus a brief message you define, to one or more users in your database. You’ll find this feature helpful for coordinating with other PCR users and calling their attention to important records instantly.
PCR Notifications can also be sent using Automations, whether triggered by specific Pipeline step or Rollup stage changes, Candidate Presentations being viewed or responded to, or from the general Automations feature released in late 2021. When building any Automation that previously included Email, Text, or PCRecruiter mobile app Push notifications, you’ll now find a PCR Notification option as well.
To support more useful PCR Notifications, this update comes with new date-based Automation triggers to use:
These Automation triggers aren’t exclusive to PCR Notifications. For example, you could use the Field Date trigger with a ‘Date of Birth’ field to send automatic birthday greetings to clients and candidates, automatically add Names to a calling Rollup List a year after they’ve completed a specific form, or automatically send a Form Letter to a candidate the day before their interview.
There was one other minor addition to the Automations in this update. The ‘When an applicant applies to a Position, send Notification to Someone’ canned automation included the option to send an SMS (via our RingCentral integration), but lacked the option to target the Candidate’s phone number. We’ve added this into the new version, so that you can automatically prompt candidates to opt in to bulk texts or simply thank them for applying.
The possibilities for automating your process with PCRecruiter are growing all the time. We look forward to hearing about your own creative uses for Automations and PCR Notifications!

The other major change in this update is the brand new Feedback area, which you’ll find in the Navigation menu at the top of all Names, Companies, Positions, as well as in the Detail panel on the updated Pipeline (currently in final beta – ask your PCRecruiter representative for details).
The new Feedback screen consolidates and organizes feedback from users and external contacts into an easily viewed list, with filter and search options to help you find exactly what you’re looking for.
Feedback can be entered by internal users from the ‘Add Feedback’ panel on the left side of the Feedback screen, collected via Candidate Presentations, or via emailed links using the brand new ‘Feedback Form Letters.’
Note that any existing feedback collected using Candidate Presentations as well as feedback formerly located in the Interview Feedback on your Pipeline steps or interview records will now appear in the Feedback screen.
We have a ton of great updates on the way in 2022! Watch your own PCR Notifications for announcements of new features and more.
