Sign Up and First Login

This page walks you through creating your Elly account and what to expect the first time you sign in.

Signing in#

Elly supports three ways to sign in:

  • Google — Sign in with your Google Workspace or personal Google account.
  • Microsoft — Sign in with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) or a personal Microsoft account.
  • Email and password — If your admin provisioned you with credentials, sign in with your work email and password.

Go to the Elly sign-in page and pick the method that matches your organization. If you're not sure which to use, check with whoever shared the invitation with you.

What happens on your first sign-in#

The first time you sign in, Elly sets up your account automatically:

  1. A workspace is created for you. In Elly, a workspace is called a group — it's the shared space where your team's jobs, candidates, and meetings live.
  2. You become the Owner of that workspace. Owners have full control over billing, team members, and all settings. See Invite Your Team for what other roles can do.
  3. You're placed on the Free plan, which includes 100 credits per month. Credits power features like AI interviews, sourcing previews, and meeting summaries — see Billing and Plans for details.

No credit card is required to start.

Joining an existing workspace instead#

If someone on your team has already set up Elly and invited you, do not sign in cold — that will create a brand-new workspace for you instead of adding you to theirs. Open the invitation email they sent and click the link inside to accept. You'll land in their workspace as a Member (or whatever role they chose).

If the invitation has expired or you can't find the email, ask them to resend it from Settings → Team.

What you'll see on the home screen#

After signing in, you land on the home dashboard. From here you can:

  • Create your first Job (see the ATS section)
  • Open Settings to finish configuring your workspace
  • Browse Candidates, Sourcer, and Meetings from the left-hand navigation
