Account Types
CvZense provides two account types: Individual and Company. Choose the one that matches how you work. You can switch between them at any time (admin permission required).
| Feature | Individual | Company |
|---|---|---|
| Primary use case | Personal / solo recruiting workflows | Team & organizational collaboration |
| Workspace | Private to you | Shared across invited users |
| User invitations | Not available | Invite and manage multiple users |
| Teams | Not applicable | Create teams for jobs, candidates, and ZenForms |
| Subscription seats | 1 seat (fixed) | Configurable (add / remove seats) |
| Credits | Personal credit balance (not shared) | Shared credit pool consumed by all users |
| Data privacy | Fully isolated | Role & team–based access |
Individual Account
Section titled “Individual Account”Use an Individual account if you are the only person managing sourcing, candidates, or content.
Key characteristics:
- Private workspace: All jobs, candidates, ZenForms, and pages are visible only to you.
- Simplicity: No user management or team setup required.
- Your profile page: You still maintain a personal public or sharable page (if enabled in other settings).
- Fixed seat: Subscription management for extra seats is not available in this mode.
- Own credits: Your credit balance is exclusive to you; no other users can consume it.
How to set it:
- Navigate to Settings → Account Type.
- Toggle to Individual.
- Only an Admin (your user, if you are the sole owner) can change this setting.
When to choose Individual:
- You are evaluating CvZense alone.
- You do not need to invite collaborators yet.
- You want maximum data isolation.
Company Account
Section titled “Company Account”Select Company when you need multi-user collaboration or plan to scale recruiting operations.
Key capabilities:
- Invite users: Add colleagues (recruiters, hiring managers, collaborators) to your organization.
- Manage seats: Go to Settings → Change Subscription → Adjust Seats to purchase or reduce seat count.
- Structured collaboration: Assign users to teams to work together on jobs, candidates, and ZenForms.
- Access control: Limit visibility through teams and roles (e.g., only certain recruiters see specific pipelines).
- Scalable: Upgrade seat capacity as your organization grows.
- Shared credits: A single credit pool is shared across all users in the company. Any action that consumes credits (e.g., AI generation, processing tasks) deducts from the same balance.
Important: In Company accounts, heavy usage by one team or user can deplete the shared credit balance for everyone. Monitor consumption and adjust plan or seat/credit allocation proactively.
How to enable Company:
- Navigate to Settings → Account Type.
- Toggle to Company (Admin only).
- (Optional) Adjust seat count under Subscription settings.
- Go to the Recruiters tab → Invite User to send invitations.
- Organize users into teams for focused collaboration.
When to choose Company:
- You have more than one active contributor.
- You require structured access control and team ownership.
- You expect to expand hiring operations over time.
Switching Between Account Types
Section titled “Switching Between Account Types”- Only an Admin can switch the account type.
- Switching from Company to Individual will restrict collaboration features; invited users lose access.
- Before downgrading, ensure you export or reassign any shared responsibility items if needed.
Can I trial Company features from an Individual account?
Yes. Switch to Company in Settings at any time (an upgrade in billing may be required for additional seats).
Will I lose data when switching?
No data is deleted. Collaboration features are simply enabled or disabled based on the mode.
Who is the Admin?
The account creator is the initial Admin. Additional admin roles (if supported) can be assigned in Company mode. Learn more in the Users & Roles section.
How are credits handled?
In Individual accounts, credits belong only to you and no one else can use them. In Company accounts, all users draw from a single shared credit pool. Usage is aggregated; if the pool is exhausted, credit‑dependent features pause for everyone until credits are replenished.
How do we prevent unexpected credit depletion in a Company account?
Set internal usage guidelines, review credit reports regularly (if available), and upgrade or top up when sustained usage trends upward.
