AI-Powered Content Generation and Searching #

After a period of dedicated development and fine-tuning, taking time to ensure that we’ve implemented them with care, we’re now ready to offer PCR’s artificial intelligence features designed to streamline your workflow. Please contact your account manager for details on how to access these exciting new features today.

AI Search #

While standard search tools only search for specific data within specific records (i.e. ‘find name records that contain this value in the email field’), the AI Search can interpret natural language questions to identify the context, making determinations about which record type(s) to return and which specific data to examine.

The AI Search feature makes decisions through a combination of machine learning algorithms, linguistic analysis, and pattern recognition, allowing it to evaluate your queries, identify relevant information, and rank results based on their relevance to the query.

Accessing the AI Search #

  1. Click the main Search box at the top of the screen.
  2. Change the “AI” toggle to the right.
  3. Here you will see a guide to how to utilize this feature as well as the limitations and question structure to use when searching.
  4. Enter a ‘natural language’ query into the search box.
  5. Press the Enter key to submit the search.

AI Search Capabilities #

The AI will interpret the search based on known or common grammar, punctuation and capitalization, so changes to the way a query is submitted may affect the way your request is interpreted.

Adding more criteria, context or search commands to your queries can improve the results.

Some example queries include:

  • Show nursing jobs I have to fill.
  • Find all names entered today.
  • Who did I interview last week?
  • Who did the username ADMIN interview last week?
  • List companies who have open positions for a job title of “Sales Manager”.
  • Show me all companies with a Vendor status
  • Who applied to the Marketing Manager position and has a resume?

You can use the thumbs up / down icons to give feedback on the results, which will help to improve the accuracy of the model.

AI Search Limitations #

Our AI is continuously learning and improving. In its current form, the AI is dedicated to becoming an expert in searching records. More tasks and capabilities will be added as the feature is developed.

Here are some of the AI’s current limitations, all of which are subject to change:

  • The AI Search is not capable of taking any actions on records, such as adding, deleting, updating.
  • The AI Search will always try to match all given criteria, and is not capable of performing OR queries (e.g. “sales or marketing”).
  • The AI Search is not able to use the Zip Code Radius Search function found in advanced searching, such as “Show me Candidates within 30 miles of Cleveland, Ohio.” This is due to the above limitation where the AI Search must match all criteria, therefore it will only return records in the City of Cleveland and the State of Ohio.
  • The AI search cannot search the contents of an attachment or profile. It will search through content on resumes but can only search the name or attachment type. This means that answers to profile questions cannot be searched but you can search if a candidate has completed a specific profile.
  • The AI search cannot search through the notes, summary, or feedback tabs of a record, only the resume and keywords.
  • Search results are currently limited to the top 25 results, this search is intended as a means of pulling up the most accurate results of the query.
  • The AI is not able to search outside of your private database. It is a private tool, ensuring that your sensitive and proprietary data remains isolated from external networks and potential security threats.

AI Email Generator #

The AI can help you compose precise and professional emails more quickly and effectively. Using the AI to draft your emails can help you improve engagement with clients and candidates with clear and error-free language, and help you get started if you need suggestions for how to phrase your message.

  1. Click System in the Main toolbar
  2. Click Form Letters
  3. Choose the type of Form Letter you intend to compose.
  4. Use the Add Letter option.
  5. Once a blank email is open, click on the AI Generator icon in the HTML editor toolbar, represented by a hexagon.
  6. After the AI Generator chat appears, you may click on pre-selected suggestions or enter a response into the box at the bottom of the dialogue window.
    • Indicate the tone of your message (Formal, Casual, Friendly, or Instructive, etc.)
    • Indicate who the recipient will be (applicant, hiring manager, etc.)
    • Indicate the purpose of the email (follow up, negotiation, feedback, etc.)
    • Provide any specific information you’d like to have included in the email draft.
  7. The AI will present a sample subject line. At this point, you may ask “Please generate the email.” or provide further details as you please.
  8. If you are satisfied with the email draft, click Use this text.
  9. Edit and revise the inserted text as you see fit, and then Save

AI Job Description Generator #

The AI can save you time in drafting a job description. By using key data points from the job’s fields, such as title, location, and salary information, this tool will save you time by crafting a few sentences to get your description started. The more field information that is present in the job — degree and experience minimums, industry, etc. — the more accurate the description is likely to be.

  1. Click Positions in the Main toolbar.
  2. Open the desired Position record.
  3. Locate the Job Description on the edit position tab.
  4. Click the AI Generator icon (hexagon) in the editing toolbar. A draft description will appear, including a bullet list of key data and a paragraph of description content. If you would like to request a new version, click the icon again.
  5. Remove and edit text and formatting to suit your needs.
  6. Click the save icon on the task bar to store the change.

AI Name Summary Generator #

The AI can compose a brief summary of a candidate based on details from Resumes, Work History and name record fields in your database. These summaries can be helpful when you need to brief a client about a candidate, or when you need a short write-up to show in your Candidate Presentations.

  1. Open any Name record.
  2. Select the Summary tab.
  3. Click on the AI Generator icon (hexagon) in the editing toolbar.
  4. A summary will appear. Adjust it as necessary and click Confirm to save.
