PCRecruiter can accomodate different Time Zone, Currency, Phone Format, and other settings specific to the user’s location. Some of these settings are database-wide while others are user-specific.

Database Region Settings #

  1. Click Settings in the Main Menu.

Time Offset #

The Time Offset specifies the default time zone for the database. The Time Zone selected here will be applied to the logging of events such as the time when a candidate registered or applied via the job board.

If not all users are located in the same Time Zone, a per-user time zone setting is available in the ‘International’ section of the User Record.

International Settings #

  • Phone Formatting: Choose whether to format Phone fields in US/Canada format (xxx) xxx-xxxx, or a freeform International Format. If set to ‘Follow Currency Setting’, the phone field will match the format for the selection Currency type.
  • International Currency: Define the default currency used for salary and other monetary values in the database.
  • Time Display Option: Define whether a 12 or 24 hour value should be used for time storage.
  • Allow Users to Edit Candidate Email Subscriptions: Allows users to edit the Opt Out/Opt In list.
