FAQ

Common questions

Can Knit build “Exclude placed candidates from active ad campaigns” between PCRecruiter and Google Ads?

Yes — describe it in the box above and Knit's Integrations Agent researches PCRecruiter and Google Ads's public API docs (or your own uploaded docs) and builds a working workflow, whether or not either app already has a pre-built connector.

How long does it take to build?

Minutes to a first working version, not weeks — you test it against real data before it goes anywhere near production.

How does connecting Google Ads and PCRecruiter improve recruitment ROI?

By capturing job applicants directly from ad campaigns into PCRecruiter and sending downstream hiring events back to Google Ads, you can optimize ad spend toward platforms that yield quality candidates.

Can I stop advertising to applicants who have already moved forward in PCRecruiter?

Yes, updates in candidate status within PCRecruiter can automatically remove those individuals from active custom audiences in Google Ads.
