Core Concepts
Understand the fundamental concepts behind WallJobs AI: AI Agents, Credits, Workspaces, and more.
Before diving deeper into WallJobs AI, it's important to understand the core concepts that power the platform. This page explains the fundamental building blocks you'll work with every day.
Organizations
Top-level container for billing and team management.
Workspaces
Isolated environments for different recruiting projects.
Credits
Currency for AI operations like searches and enrichment.
AI Agents
Intelligent assistants that power search and automation.
Organizations
An Organization is the top-level entity in WallJobs AI. It represents your company or agency and serves as the container for:
- Billing - All subscriptions and payments are managed at the organization level
- Team Members - Users belong to an organization and can access its workspaces
- Workspaces - Multiple workspaces can exist under one organization
- Credits - Credit balance is shared across all workspaces in the organization
Most teams need just one organization. However, agencies managing multiple clients might create separate organizations for each client to keep billing and data completely isolated.
Workspaces
A Workspace is an isolated environment within an organization. Think of it as a separate recruiting project or department. Each workspace has its own:
- Contacts - Candidate database is workspace-specific
- Searches - Saved searches belong to a workspace
- Shortlists - Pipelines and shortlists are workspace-scoped
- Sequences - Outreach campaigns run within a workspace
- Settings - Custom pipeline stages, templates, and preferences
Common use cases for multiple workspaces:
- Departments - Engineering, Sales, Marketing each have their own workspace
- Locations - Brazil, USA, Europe workspaces for regional hiring
- Clients - Agencies create workspaces per client for separation
- Projects - High-volume hiring initiatives get dedicated workspaces
Credits
Credits are the currency for AI-powered operations in WallJobs AI. They're consumed when you use features that require AI processing or external data:
| Operation | Credit Cost |
|---|---|
| AI Search | 1 credit |
| Contact Enrichment | 2 credits |
| Email Finder | 1 credit |
| AI Co-Pilot Message | 0.1 credits |
| Sequence Email | 0.5 credits |
Credits are included in your subscription plan and refresh monthly. You can also purchase additional credit packs if you need more. View your current balance and transaction history in Settings → Billing → Credits.
AI Agents
AI Agents are the intelligent systems that power WallJobs AI's capabilities. Different agents handle different tasks:
- Search Agent - Understands natural language queries, extracts requirements, and finds matching candidates using semantic search.
- Enrichment Agent - Gathers additional information about candidates from public sources, social profiles, and data providers.
- Co-Pilot Agent - The chat assistant that helps you perform actions using conversational commands.
- Scoring Agent - Evaluates candidates against job requirements and provides match scores and recommendations.
You don't interact with agents directly - they work behind the scenes to make your recruiting workflow smarter and faster.
Contacts vs Candidates
In WallJobs AI, we use specific terminology:
- Contact - Any person stored in your database. Contacts contain profile information, work history, skills, and contact details.
- Candidate - A contact that has been added to a shortlist for a specific position. The same contact can be a candidate for multiple positions.
This distinction allows you to maintain a long-term talent pool (contacts) while tracking specific hiring processes (candidates in shortlists).
Data Enrichment
Enrichment is the process of enhancing contact profiles with additional data from external sources. When you enrich a contact, WallJobs AI gathers:
- Professional Info - Current and past positions, company details
- Social Profiles - LinkedIn, GitHub, Twitter links
- Contact Details - Email addresses, phone numbers
- Skills & Technologies - Extracted from profiles and repositories
- Education - Degrees, institutions, certifications
Enrichment can be triggered:
- Manually - Click "Enrich" on any contact profile
- Automatically - When adding contacts to a shortlist
- In Bulk - Select multiple contacts and enrich them together
