Credits and Unlocking Contacts
Credits are what you use to unlock candidate profiles from the Minotaur Resume Database. Each credit gives you full access to one candidate's profile and contact details, and copies them into your organization's internal database.
Credit Counter
Your credit balance is always visible in the top-right corner of the Resume Database:
| Badge | Description |
|---|---|
| Earned | Credits from your monthly plan allocation |
| Purchased | Credits you've bought separately |
| Spent | Credits you've already used to unlock profiles |
| Balance | Credits available right now |
Unlock a Candidate Profile
- Go to Resume Database → Search Resume.
- Find a candidate you want to unlock (identified by the 🔒 lock icon).
- Click the lock icon or the candidate's name.
- In the Unlock Resume dialog, click Yes to confirm the purchase.
- 1 credit is deducted from your balance.
Once unlocked, the candidate's full profile becomes visible — including email, phone number, skills, experience, and all additional information. The profile is also copied into your organization's internal database and becomes searchable in your private resume search.
Note: Unlocking is permanent. Once a profile is unlocked, your organization can access it at no additional cost.
