Why Otto

The HR your company needs — none of the overhead.

No HR department

Records, time off, payroll, and onboarding come ready out of the box — the work an HR hire would otherwise carry.

A real hiring pipeline

A branded careers page and one pipeline for every role — hiring moves out of email threads and stays visible.

The company at a glance

One dashboard shows headcount, upcoming pay runs, pending approvals, and active onboardings — no status meeting required.

What's inside

The tools that keep a founder out of admin.

Hire

From job post to hired

Post the role, screen resumes with AI, and move candidates through one pipeline — with optional AI voice pre-screens when volume grows.
