Company, Account, and User Relationships
Understanding the hierarchy of your organization on SmartInterviews.AI ensures efficient data management and user role assignment:
Structure & Roles
- The Company: Your organization sits at the top level and has exactly one Company Admin with full oversight.
- Accounts: Your company can contain multiple Accounts (e.g., HR-Tech, HR-Sales, UK-Branch) to segregate hiring pipelines and billing.
- Users: Each secondary user (Recruiter/Interviewer) must be assigned to exactly one Account.
Candidate Assignment Logic
Every candidate must belong to a specific Account for tracking and evaluation purposes:
- Account Users: When a standard user creates a candidate, that candidate is automatically assigned to the user's specific account.
- Company Admins: Since the Company Admin has global visibility, they must manually select the Account during candidate setup to ensure the record is filed correctly.
