11:45 – PCRecruiter Capture Tool

This week's 11:45 demoed the updated PCRecruiter Capture Tool, a Chrome browser extension that scrapes web pages to import or update candidate information directly into PCR.

Key Takeaways:

• PCR Capture Tool Functionality: This browser extension scans LinkedIn and ZoomInfo pages, identifies if a candidate exists in PCR, and enables one-click importing or updating of their information.
• It detects potential duplicates and prompts you to review before importing.
• You can also quickly add notes and assign candidates to rollups.

• Manual Entry Still Optimal: Inputting candidates directly in PCR remains the most reliable way to ensure data accuracy and completeness.
• This is the only way to add role coding and keywords, as the capture tool does not support these fields.
• Manual entry reduces the risk of creating duplicate records or overwriting data.

• Do not import company information: The company data import feature _should not_ be used due to the high risk of overriding existing company records in PCR.
• Overwritten company data is difficult to recover.
• When using the tool, the blue-highlighted company section should be ignored.

• Thoughtful Usage is Key: The PCR Capture Tool is a useful aid but not a mandatory process.
• It is best for quick importing of new candidates or updating outdated records.
• It should not replace attentive manual entry of candidate details.
