The first time you log in to Mercury, a setup screen appears before you can reach the dashboard. This page explains what to enter, why it matters, and how to avoid the small mistakes that cause problems later.
This setup is required. You can’t access dashboard modules until both steps are complete.

​
What happens after first login

  • A setup screen appears automatically.
  • You’ll be guided through two short steps: company details and contact information.
  • Once finished, you’re redirected to the Mercury Accounts dashboard.

​
Complete the setup

1

Add company details

Fill in your organization’s identity. This information powers your branding across Mercury products — career pages, candidate emails, invoices, and more.
FieldWhy it matters
Company logoAppears on candidate-facing pages and outgoing emails
Company descriptionShown on your branded career page and shareable links
Click Next when done.
Upload a square logo at least 512×512 px for the sharpest results across small avatars and large headers.
2

Add contact information

Enter the addresses Mercury will use to send and receive correspondence:
  • Company email — used as the sender for system and candidate emails.
  • Company phone number — used for account recovery and appears on candidate-facing communication.
Click Next or Finish to complete setup.

​
After setup

Once both steps are done:

You land on the dashboard

The main control panel for your organization.

Your account is ready

All modules — User Management, Billing, Integrations, and more — are now accessible.

​
What to be careful about

Small mistakes here have outsized effects later:
  • Skipping or rushing details weakens your branding on candidate-facing pages.
  • Incorrect contact info breaks emails sent to candidates and teammates.
  • Wrong company email can route important notifications into the void.
You can update any of this information later from Organization Management in the dashboard — but it’s faster to get it right the first time.
