Frequently asked questions
The best fit is software that's affordable, needs no recruiter, and covers the whole flow from job post to onboarding. Otto HR does this with AI resume screening and onboarding built in.
No. Otto is designed for owners and managers who hire alongside their other work. There's nothing to configure beyond posting your first job, and no training required.
Plans are per employee, with affordable paid tiers as your team grows. See the pricing page for current plans and limits.
Yes. Otto reads each resume, scores it against the role, and surfaces the strongest candidates first, so a small team reviews applicants far faster.
Yes. When you hire, the new employee flows straight into onboarding, documents, time off, and payroll, because hiring and HR live in one platform.
Separate preparation from confirmation. Otto reads each resume and prepares leave and payroll. HR keeps the stamp. This page is not a vendor scorecard. The test is whether the process still waits on your approval.
