Speed up
your HR work with Otto.

We built Otto HR to take the repetitive work out of managing people, from hiring and onboarding to time off, payroll and everything in between. So you can focus on what matters most: your people.

2026

Founded

Our founder and team have worked across healthcare, health benefits, insurance and complex technology systems in the United States. That experience taught us something important: many of the problems in insurance and benefits do not actually start with insurance. They start with HR data.

From hiring and compensation changes to employment status, dependents, eligibility and termination, nearly every event that affects employee benefits begins in HR. Yet most traditional HR software was never built with insurance and benefits in mind. The result is fragmented employee data, manual operations, disconnected systems and errors that flow downstream into benefits and insurance.

We built Otto HR to solve this problem from the foundation. HR should be more than a system for managing employees. It should be the trusted data and operational layer connecting people, benefits and insurance. By combining clean, continuously updated HR data with AI and automation, Otto helps companies automate the operational work around their people while building a stronger foundation for benefits.

After working in the US healthcare, benefits and technology ecosystem, we are bringing that experience to Türkiye. Türkiye is our starting point. We see strong similarities in the regulatory environments, employment structures and operational challenges across Türkiye, Europe and parts of Asia. Our ambition is to build a solid foundation here and expand Otto HR across Europe and Asia.

Our Vision

A world where HR teams spend their time on people, not paperwork. Otto takes the routine. Decisions and relationships stay with HR.

Our Purpose

To give HR teams back the time that goes to repetitive work.

Our Promise

What We Believe

How we think
about building

01

Simplicity wins

If a feature needs a tutorial, it’s too complex. Every screen in Otto should be self-explanatory.

02

AI assists, humans decide

Otto screens candidates, drafts policies, and answers HR questions. You make the decisions. We handle the busywork, not the judgment calls.

03

One tool, not ten

Hiring and HR shouldn’t live in separate products. Post a job, hire someone, manage their time off, all on the same platform.

04

Built for small teams

We’re not building SAP. We’re building the HR platform that a 10-person startup and a 200-person company both love using.

05

Ship and iterate

We’d rather ship something good today than something perfect never. We learn from usage, not guesswork.

06

Earn trust quietly

We don’t make claims we can’t back up. Your data is yours. Our uptime speaks for itself.

The Team

Small team,big ambition

We are a small team with a big goal: a world where HR is not a piece of software but part of your team. Otto prepares the work, from leave to payroll and from hiring to onboarding. You only approve.In the years ahead, an HR team's job will be spending time on employees, not feeding systems. Otto handles the routine: tracking, calculating, paperwork, reminders. What remains is the work only an HR team can do.We are building this as a small, fast team that talks to its users every day. If you want to walk this road with us, let's talk.
