Set up in an afternoon
Hiring, onboarding, time off and payroll come connected out of the box. No consultants, no implementation project.

Your first policies, drafted
Ask Otto drafts your leave policies and your company policies from a prompt, and you review, edit, and publish.
03
Hire like a bigger company
A branded careers page, one pipeline, and AI resume screening make a five-person startup look put together.
What's inside
Everything a first HR stack needs.
A real pipeline from day one
Branded careers page, one pipeline, AI resume screening, and optional AI voice pre-screen interviews, all before you've hired a recruiter.
