Which actions consume a credit?

AI work consumes credits: analysing resumes, matching, search, setting up or editing roles, drafting role text, enrichment. Reading a result never does.

What costs credits

  • Analysing a resume against a role — 1 credit.
  • Re-analysing a candidate, for example after a rubric change — 1 credit.
  • Matching one talent-pool CV against all open roles — 1 credit. Re-matches are free.
  • A semantic search across your candidates or talent pool — 1 credit. A new page or filter is a new search.
  • Setting up a role (criteria and matching index) — 2 credits; your first role is free.
  • Regenerating a role’s evaluation criteria with AI — 1 credit.
  • Saving a role’s description — 1 credit to re-index it.
  • Drafting role text from a pasted job description (including screening questions), or generating all role text at once — 1 credit. Single fields are 1 credit each.
  • Drafting, saving or editing a role’s hiring intent — 1 credit each.
  • Enriching a profile — 1 credit per GitHub or portfolio link submitted on an application form. Links inside a resume are read as part of that resume’s analysis.

The full table, including what a top-up costs, is on the pricing page.

What never costs credits

  • Opening a scorecard you already generated.
  • Editing a role’s criteria or weights by hand. It does not re-score anyone; re-analyse a candidate to re-score them.
  • Role recommendations shown to a candidate.
  • Moving a candidate between pipeline stages.
  • Inviting a team member or an interviewer.
