# What is an Organization

## What is an Organization

Manatal offers two different account types:

- Under the **'Agency'** setting, your organizations are your clients (**organization = client**).
- And under the **'Company'** setting, your **organizations are your departments (or subsidiaries, offices,...).**

To learn more about account types you can refer to [this article.](https://support.manatal.com/docs/types-of-account)

## Why do you need to create Organizations

When you create a job (vacancy, job requisition, job listing), you need to attach this newly created position to an organization. This allows you to better structure and organize your jobs under your different organizations.
