What happens when we exceed our runner minutes or storage?

Overage is opt-in, per metric. You set a spend budget for runner minutes and storage in billing settings; beyond the plan allowance, usage bills at $0.01 per exact runner minute and $0.25 per GB per month against that budget. Without a budget, metered work pauses with a limit notice instead of generating a surprise charge — and setting the budget to zero refuses overage outright.

Can we switch plans or cancel mid-cycle?

Yes. Change tiers or switch between monthly and annual billing from workspace billing settings, and monthly plans cancel anytime. Upgrades apply a prorated credit for unused time, and downgrades take effect at the next cycle.

How is AI usage billed, and does the AI reject candidates?

AI is advisory only: fit reviews and code reviews surface evidence beside the application, and a human moves every stage. For billing, use the built-in models through prepaid AI credits ($1 buys 1 credit, consumed at provider rates plus a platform markup, with manual top-ups or capped auto-recharge) — or bring your own provider keys and pay your provider directly.

Do we still need Zoom or Google Meet for interviews?

No. Remote interviews run in built-in live rooms inside Hiretea, so interviewers and candidates join from the browser with no external meeting tool or extra licenses. Scheduling, invitations with calendar files, and outcomes stay attached to the same application record.

Do candidates need a Hiretea account to apply?

No. Candidates apply through a public link, answer screening questions, and receive repository challenges by email. They clone a private repository, work with normal Git, and submit the exact commit SHA they want reviewed — no signup step between them and your role.

Can we self-host Hiretea on our own infrastructure?

Not yet. A self-hosted license for teams with strict data-residency requirements is coming soon; pricing, licensing terms, and setup docs will be published together when it opens. Until then, Hiretea runs as managed SaaS with isolated workspaces per team.

How is candidate data protected, and can we delete it?

Workspaces are strictly isolated, every application captures consent in an immutable snapshot, and retention windows plus a privacy review queue control how long personal data lives. Deletion workflows cover right-to-be-forgotten requests, and every operator action is written to the audit trail.
