Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the PCRecruiter ATS Integrations.
How does Skima AI authenticate with PCRecruiter?
Skima AI obtains a Session ID by POSTing your PCRecruiter Username, Password, and Database ID to the access-token endpoint. This Session ID serves as a Bearer token for all subsequent REST API calls.
What custom fields are required?
Define the following custom fields via PCRecruiter's System → Custom Fields UI: Skima Match Score (number), Skima Reasons (long text), Shortlist Link (URL), HM Feedback (enum optional), and HM Comment (short text optional).
Are native webhooks available?
PCRecruiter lacks built-in webhooks. Integrations can leverage third-party middleware like Zapier or Unified. to subscribe to record events, or use safe 10–15 minute polling to detect changes.
How long does setup take?
PCRecruiter integration typically takes 60–90 minutes: generating a Session ID, creating custom fields, configuring middleware, testing across 2–3 positions, and verifying write-back of scores and feedback.
Can Skima AI rescore archived candidates?
Yes. Skima AI can pull historical candidate records, parse resume attachments, and apply AI scoring and tagging to rediscover qualified talent already stored within PCRecruiter.
What if custom-field creation is restricted?
If you cannot create custom fields, Skima AI falls back to writing detailed Activity Notes or uploading SKIMA_Evidence.pdf attachments to candidate records for transparency and auditability.
How often are scores refreshed?
Scores update instantly when new candidates or resume attachments are added and periodically (every 10–15 minutes) while positions remain open, ensuring the latest talent is always surfaced.
Does Skima AI move candidate stages automatically?
Stage moves are optional. You can configure Skima AI to advance candidates to a "Skima Shortlisted" stage or leave stage management to recruiters for greater control and oversight.
Is candidate data encrypted?
All candidate data is encrypted in transit using TLS and at rest via industry-standard encryption protocols, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations and secure storage practices.
