# Create & Set Up Your Account

Easily create and set up your Discovered account, whether you’re registering on your own or activating an account created on your behalf.

### **Overview**

Discovered offers two ways to get started:

-   **Self-Created Account** – You register directly through the Discovered website.
-   **Assisted Account Creation** – Our team creates your company account and sends you an invitation to finish setup.

Both options ensure you can start using Discovered quickly and securely.

-   Save settings to complete registration.
-   (Optional but recommended) **Integrate your email address** to streamline candidate messaging and calendar scheduling.

## **Why This Matters**

Setting up your account properly ensures:

-   You’re using a verified **work email domain** (not Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook personal addresses).
-   Your company career page domain is created automatically and can be customized.
-   Your login is secure with **two-step verification** and confirmed password setup.
-   You can integrate email for smoother candidate messaging and calendar scheduling.

## **Use Cases**

-   You’re a new customer creating your first Discovered account.
-   Your admin or the Discovered team has already created your company account and sent you an invite.
-   You want to make sure your login is secure and set up correctly from the start.

## **How It Works**

-   Self-creation ensures your company's career page and user profile are generated instantly.
-   Assisted creation links you to an already-established company account with an invitation email.
-   Two-step verification adds a protective layer, preventing unauthorized logins.
-   Email integration allows candidates to respond directly, and events to sync with your calendar.

## **Best Practices**

-   Always use your **company email domain** when registering.
-   For most users, enable two-step verification on **new devices** for security without extra friction.
-   Integrate email immediately for a smoother candidate experience.
-   Double-check information before submitting to avoid errors in your account setup.

## **What Happens Next**

Once your account is created:

-   You can log in anytime at **Discovered.ai**.
-   Your company’s career page is automatically generated and ready for customization.
-   All future team members can be added as users under your account.
-   Candidate communications and job postings are managed directly through your new Discovered dashboard.
