## Frequently Asked Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What is Recruitier?">
    Recruitier is an AI-powered recruitment platform built specifically for the Dutch
    recruitment market. It combines intelligent job search, candidate matching, client
    discovery, and outreach automation into a single workspace. Recruiters use it to
    find the right jobs for their candidates, discover new client companies, and send
    personalized outreach -- all powered by AI that learns from your preferences and
    feedback.

    The platform continuously scans job sources like LinkedIn and Indeed (multiple times
    per day), classifies results using AI, matches candidates to opportunities based on
    skills and preferences, and helps you manage the entire recruitment pipeline from
    first contact to placement.

    Key capabilities include:

    * **AI Job Matching** with weighted scoring (title 35%, skills 45%, experience 20%)
    * **Client Discovery** with real-time hiring activity data across thousands of Dutch companies
    * **Outreach Automation** with multi-step flows, AI message generation, and email integration
    * **Contact Intelligence** with automatic decision maker discovery
    * **Agency Collaboration** with shared resources and team analytics
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Who is Recruitier designed for?">
    Recruitier is designed for recruitment professionals operating in the Dutch market.
    This includes:

    * **Independent recruiters (ZZP'ers)** who need an all-in-one platform to manage
      their entire recruitment workflow
    * **Recruitment agencies** that want shared team access to searches, companies,
      templates, and analytics
    * **Business development specialists** focused on finding and winning new clients
      using hiring activity data
    * **Sourcers and researchers** who need to identify companies that are actively hiring
      in specific industries or regions

    Whether you are a one-person operation or part of a 50-person agency, Recruitier
    scales to fit your needs. The platform supports four workflow goals (Candidate
    Placement, Business Development, Speculative Placement, Job Marketing) that tailor
    the experience to how you work.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How is Recruitier different from other recruitment tools?">
    Recruitier differentiates itself in several key ways:

    **AI-first approach** -- Unlike traditional ATS or CRM tools that simply store data,
    Recruitier actively uses AI to classify jobs, match candidates, discover contacts,
    and generate personalized outreach. The AI works in the background even when you are
    not logged in, continuously indexing new jobs and enriching company data.

    **Dutch market focus** -- Recruitier is purpose-built for the Dutch recruitment
    market. It sources jobs from Dutch job boards, understands Dutch company structures
    (including BTW numbers and ZZP'er workflows), and supports both Dutch and English
    interfaces.

    **Unified platform** -- Instead of using separate tools for job search, candidate
    management, client discovery, and outreach, Recruitier combines everything into one
    platform. This eliminates data silos and manual copy-pasting between tools.

    **Client discovery** -- Most recruitment tools focus on candidates. Recruitier also
    helps you find new client companies based on industry, location, hiring activity,
    and technology stack -- a feature rare in competing products.

    **Real-time intelligence** -- Job data is continuously refreshed, companies are
    enriched with hiring activity signals, and contact details are discovered
    automatically. Real-time notifications via SSE keep you informed without page
    refreshes.

    **Credit-based pricing** -- You pay for what you use. Different actions have different
    credit costs, from 1 credit for message generation to 60 credits for full contact
    lookups. Internal job searches are free.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is my data secure?">
    Yes. Recruitier implements multiple layers of security:

    * **Encryption** -- All data is encrypted in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest
    * **Authentication** -- JWT tokens (HS256 algorithm, \~2-day expiry) with password
      hashing via bcrypt and token revocation through database + Redis cache
    * **Payment security** -- All payment processing is handled by Stripe, which is PCI
      DSS Level 1 compliant. Recruitier never stores your credit card information.
    * **Infrastructure** -- The platform runs on AWS (Amazon Web Services) with managed
      databases, automated backups, and infrastructure monitoring
    * **Access control** -- Role-based permissions for agency teams (Admin, Admin Member,
      Member) ensure that team members can only access authorized data
    * **Email integration** -- When you connect your Gmail or Outlook account, Recruitier
      uses OAuth2 and only requests the minimum permissions needed to send emails on your
      behalf. It does not read your inbox or access your contacts.
    * **Signature sanitization** -- Imported email signatures are processed through
      DOMPurify to remove any potentially malicious HTML

    Your candidate data, client information, and business records are treated as
    confidential and are never shared with third parties.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What browsers are supported?">
    Recruitier works best on modern, up-to-date browsers:

    * **Google Chrome** (recommended) -- Latest version
    * **Mozilla Firefox** -- Latest version
    * **Microsoft Edge** -- Latest version (Chromium-based)
    * **Safari** -- Latest version on macOS

    We recommend using Google Chrome for the best experience, as it receives the most
    thorough testing. Internet Explorer is not supported. Make sure your browser is
    updated to the latest version for optimal performance and security.

    Recruitier's real-time notification system (SSE) works in all supported browsers.
    Some older browser versions may have issues with the persistent SSE connection -- if
    you experience notification delays, updating your browser usually resolves the issue.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I use Recruitier on mobile?">
    Recruitier is designed as a desktop-first web application. The interface is optimized
    for laptop and desktop screens where recruiters typically work.

    While the platform may be accessible on tablets and mobile devices through your
    browser, the experience is best on screens with a resolution of 1280 pixels or wider.
    Features like the agency dashboard, job search results, Kanban pipeline, and outreach
    composer are designed for desktop workflows with mouse and keyboard.

    There is no dedicated mobile app at this time. If you need to check notifications or
    review results on the go, the web interface is accessible from any mobile browser,
    but detailed work (composing outreach, reviewing matches, managing pipeline) is best
    done on a desktop.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I contact support?">
    If you need help with Recruitier, you can reach our support team through:

    * **Email**: [support@recruitier.com](mailto:support@recruitier.com) -- Send us a
      detailed description of your issue, including any error messages or screenshots.
      We typically respond within one business day.
    * **In-app help** -- Look for help links and contextual tips throughout the interface
    * **Documentation** -- This documentation site covers all features in detail. Use
      the search function to find answers to specific questions.

    When contacting support, please include:

    * Your account email address
    * The browser you are using (name and version)
    * Your interface language setting (Dutch or English)
    * A clear description of the issue or question
    * Screenshots or screen recordings if relevant

    This information helps us diagnose and resolve your issue faster.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I import data from other tools?">
    Currently, Recruitier supports the following import methods:

    * **CV uploads** -- Upload candidate CVs in PDF or Word (DOC/DOCX) format.
      Recruitier's AI extracts skills, experience, education, and preferences
      automatically.
    * **LinkedIn imports** -- Import candidate profiles from LinkedIn to create
      structured profiles in Recruitier.

    Bulk data import from other recruitment tools (ATS systems, CRMs, spreadsheets) is
    not yet available as a self-service feature. If you have a large dataset you need to
    migrate, contact our support team to discuss custom import options.

    We are actively working on expanding import capabilities. Check back for updates
    or contact support to discuss your specific needs.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does Recruitier work outside the Netherlands?">
    Recruitier is primarily designed for the Dutch recruitment market. Its job sources,
    company database, and default settings are optimized for the Netherlands.

    That said, some features work internationally:

    * Job searches can include results from international job boards
    * Company discovery may include companies outside the Netherlands if they have
      a Dutch presence or are registered in the database
    * Outreach features work with any email address or LinkedIn profile regardless of
      location

    If you recruit primarily in the Netherlands but occasionally work with international
    opportunities, Recruitier handles that well. However, if your primary market is
    outside the Netherlands, the platform may not be the best fit, as the data sources
    and company enrichment are focused on the Dutch market.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How often is the platform updated?">
    Recruitier is updated continuously. New features, improvements, and bug fixes are
    deployed regularly -- often multiple times per week. Updates are applied
    automatically and do not require any action on your part.

    Major feature releases are communicated through in-app notifications and email
    announcements. Minor improvements and bug fixes are deployed silently to avoid
    disrupting your workflow. The platform uses rolling updates, so you experience zero
    downtime during deployments.

    If you have feature requests or suggestions, contact support at
    [support@recruitier.com](mailto:support@recruitier.com). User feedback directly influences our development roadmap.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens to my data if I cancel?">
    When you cancel your subscription:

    * Your account remains active until the end of your current billing period
    * After the period ends, your account enters a limited state
    * **Your data is retained** for a grace period -- candidates, searches, jobs,
      companies, outreach history, and notes are not deleted
    * If you reactivate within the retention window, all your data is restored

    You do not need to export everything before cancelling. Your data will be waiting
    for you if you decide to return. See the
    [Managing Your Subscription](/billing/managing-subscription) page for full details.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I try Recruitier before committing to a paid plan?">
    Yes. Recruitier offers a **14-day free trial** with no commitment:

    * **Days 1-7**: Full access, 100 starter credits, no credit card required
    * **Days 8-14**: Credit card required but you are not charged
    * **Day 15**: Paid subscription begins (cancel anytime before this to avoid charges)
    * **Tour bonus**: Complete the guided tour to earn 10 additional one-time credits

    The trial timer starts at email verification, not registration, so you do not lose
    trial days while waiting for the verification email. During the trial, you have
    access to the complete feature set of your selected plan.
