About

We believe hiring
should be human

We built Otto HR to eliminate the tedious parts of recruitment, so you can focus on what matters most: connecting with great people.

2026

Founded

We started Otto HR after experiencing firsthand how broken the hiring process was. Hours spent screening resumes, biased decisions, and talented candidates slipping through the cracks.

Our AI doesn't replace human judgment, it enhances it. We handle the repetitive tasks so recruiters can spend their time where it matters: building relationships with candidates.

Our Vision

A world where every company can find their perfect match, and every candidate can find their dream role.

Our Purpose

To bring humanity back to hiring by removing the busywork that gets in the way.

Our Promise

We’ll never stop innovating to make hiring faster, fairer, and more human.

What We Believe

How we think
about building

Simplicity wins

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

AI assists, humans decide

Otto screens and ranks candidates. You make the final call. We handle the busywork, not the judgment calls.

One tool, not ten

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

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.

Ship and iterate

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

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

Join Us

We're a small, agentic team of engineers and designers. We believe HR software doesn't have to be painful, and we're building the proof.

We build fast, ship often, and talk to our users constantly. Every feature starts from a real conversation with a real team. No roadmap committees, no feature bloat, just tools that work.

We're hiring across AI, engineering, and design. If you want to build something people actually love using, we should talk.
