Flexible unlimited job posts, but low ROI **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Samanta J. | Head of Talent Acquisition, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 28, 2026 **What do you like best about Otta?** What I like most about Otta/WTTJ is the flexibility, since we don’t pay per job post, we can publish as many roles as needed without constantly recalculating the marginal cost per opening. That makes it easier to support scaling phases or parallel hiring across teams. **What do you dislike about Otta?** One limitation is that perf can vary significantly depending on role type and geo. For highly niche or sr positions, the candidate pool can feel narrower compared to broader sourcing channels. In our case, ROI was inconsistent. While alignment quality was generally quite good, the cost per qualified hire could become extremely high if conversion rates dropped. It works best when you have steady hiring needs + strong employer branding positioning. If you’re measuring strictly on cost efficiency per hire, the economics don’t outperform alternative channels. **What problems is Otta solving and how is that benefiting you?** Otta/WTTJ is trying to solve the problem of low-intent, high-noise applicant flow that’s common on traditional job boards. Instead of optimizing purely for volume, it focuses on candidate–company alignment. For us, the main benefit has been using it as a vitrine for our employer branding efforts. The profile format forces clarity around mission, team structure, and stage, and gives candidates a centralized place to understand who we are beyond individual job descriptions. Even when it’s not the highest converting channel, it acts as a signal of how we position ourselves as an employer, not just a sourcing lever. ### 2. Long time user & fan of Otta **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alex S. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 15, 2024 **What do you like best about Otta?** Otta is a holistic platform that helps augment Talent teams with coverage across a wide range of disciplines. I've been using it for several years and feel it's been effective within each of the various sized organisations I've recruited for, and it's super simple to use. Not only does the free product give you brand exposure to people seeking work within similar organisations, but the paid features are well worth the money and you can expect to see competitive ROI in comparison to using external agencies. Finally, they're a great bunch and understand your needs as a business. **What do you dislike about Otta?** Whilst I appreciate the Otta CV takes pain away from candidates, sometimes it ends up with very minimal information on a profile which can make it trickier to recruit for niche roles. **What problems is Otta solving and how is that benefiting you?** Otta pools together candidates who are seeking roles within start-up and scale-up businesses - you can leverage this network by a) advertising roles to those people to apply to you and/or b) manually searching on the platform through their database of 1000s of candidates that are potentially open to a new move. This leads to a much higher response rate due to the warm nature of these leads. In less than 1 year we can track close to almost a fifth of our hires have come via Otta in either an inbound or outbound capacity, all at a good level of seniority and an ace culture fit. ### 3. Direct to the point **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andre C. | Co-Founder, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 08, 2023 **What do you like best about Otta?** I like how Otta shows the important stuff for people who are looking for a job. There are critical info that Otta shows like remote-friendly, salary (if available), necessary main skills, curated description of what the company does as well as requirements for the job description **What do you dislike about Otta?** Setting up a profile can be tedious and we know most companies use an ATS software to do the first filter. I would like to see an option to work around that and maybe have multiple CVs or suggestions before applying directly through Otta. I don't think there are any other downsides. **What problems is Otta solving and how is that benefiting you?** Having a curated list of jobs that fit my profile. As of now, it seems to be making a better job than any other tools out there. ### 4. Intuitive job bard with a now growing list of quality candidates. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 21, 2023 **What do you like best about Otta?** Interface is easy to use, roles are clearly displayed and the added advantage of intuitve analytics allow TA to give a real insight to rest of business regarding ROI. Support is always on hand when needed and it is more proactive partnership led than reactive. Also worht mentioning the sourcing tool which is easy to use and helps cut through some of the noise compared to other CV searching job boards. **What do you dislike about Otta?** Starting to remedy this but a wider range of candidates on the platform, sometimes can lack some consistency but this is a problem I imagine will be resolved over time when more profiles are addeed into the site. **What problems is Otta solving and how is that benefiting you?** Otta is helping us to attract hard to find candidates - Especially based within the Tech Sector. ### 5. The quality of applications converted to Hires has been a game changer! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Doreen B. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2023 **What do you like best about Otta?** The targets are the best candidates for each role. It is not a scattergun approach to sourcing. Customer support has been great with a passionate account manager. So easy to implement and integrate with our ATS. **What do you dislike about Otta?** Nothing that i can pick out.All is well. **What problems is Otta solving and how is that benefiting you?** Its helping us reach quality candidates. ### 6. A 'must-have' for startup talent sourcing **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Amelia W. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2023 **What do you like best about Otta?** As someone involved in developing our employer brand as well as doing the actual hiring, otta fulfils all of my needs. - The company profile is beautifully constructed and purpose made for startups. There is a lot of valuable, relevant information that candidates care about such as a employee reviews, fundraising history, ceo message, team photos etc. which other platforms don't display. - The metrics they track keep us accountable and make us a better employer. If we have transparent salaries on all jobs and respond to all applications in 2 weeks, our profile is shown to more candidates. This is great because it encourages us to be consistent with our job specs and means we're always delivering candidate feedback. - The team are incredibly responsive and will get back to us within 24hours on any questions or concerns and also offer to help us source relevant candidates for 'difficult to hire' roles. This is an incredible perk. - Otta integrates easily with multiple systems so we have it linked up to our ATS and capture all applications + sourced candidates in our main recruitment pipeline tool **What do you dislike about Otta?** Otta relies on signups so there is less candidate volume than more established vendors (like LinkedIn) for technical roles on there however I hope with more time they get the traffic they deserve because once on platform the experience as both a candidate and hiring manager is great. **What problems is Otta solving and how is that benefiting you?** Otta identifies more candidates for our open roles and enables us to hire faster. The quality of candidates on there is superb because the platform is built for candidates seeking jobs in fast moving tech companies already. Our recruitment team uses otta as the first tool when sourcing for any new positions in the business. At the time of this review we've hired approximately 25% of our current employees through otta. ### 7. Excellent recruitment tool for tech recruitment **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Guillaume M. | Agile Delivery Lead Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2023 **What do you like best about Otta?** Better way to do recruitment by targetting and matching appropriate profiles **What do you dislike about Otta?** Would be better if there were more refined criteria to improve potential matches **What problems is Otta solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps matching relevant profiles upfront ### 8.

Fantastic Job Search **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chloé P. | Sales and Marketing Support, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2023 **What do you like best about Otta?** Otta is easy to sign up to, you are able to chose your parameters really quickly and efficiently. Looking through hiring roles is so easy, just swiping through the jobs available. There's also really clear expectations set on how likely you are to hear back. **What do you dislike about Otta?** There's not much but it would be cooler to add the option to have your profile viewed my hiring managers if you've applied for similar positions at other companies. Or add more than 5 areas of interest. **What problems is Otta solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am looking at what jobs are available, and companies using Otta tend to be cooler, more interesting and more technical so all the things i am looking for in a new job. ### 10. The modernised Job Board for Remote Working **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Guilherme F. | People, Talent and Culture Partner, Retail, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 26, 2023 **What do you like best about Otta?** Otta is a super modern platform that allows users to search for jobs in a remote setting or in the largest capitals of Europe. In a modernized society after the 2020 Covid-19 Pandemic, Otta focuses on helping job seekers with modern work options, adaptable to the flexibility of each individual. **What do you dislike about Otta?** Otta can be a bit of a complex tool to navigate, however, the main negative point of Otta is the fact that it focuses only on remote job opportunities and in large capital cities, which reduces the amount of Jobs a company can actually post on the platform. **What problems is Otta solving and how is that benefiting you?** Otta allows a company to search job seekers for a more modernised setting, like people who are looking for remote opportunities or to move to a large capital city. It also allows job seekers to have a whole bunch of information about the company and the role in questions as no other platform allows. ### 11. Otta Rocks! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Karen D. N. | Senior Team Lead/Career Coach, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2023 **What do you like best about Otta?** Exposure to startup/early stage companies not listed on Linkedin, curated funding status & other intelligent information by CEO/COO are extremely helpful. **What do you dislike about Otta?** Can't identify anything at this point in time. I have referred this site to my more experience job seekers. **What problems is Otta solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use it for my coaching business in addition to seeking roles for myself. ### 12.

The best candidates for top tier companies **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Firaas R. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 22, 2022 **What do you like best about Otta?** The quality of candidates available on Otta is significantly higher than other sources including LinkedIn, direct approaches and through recruiters. By creating a platform attractive to top candidates, we find it very easy to source candidates quickly. (Around 40% of our hiring has been via Otta). Outward sourcing is awesome and candidates are very responsive. There's a tight integration into workable so that our jobs go straight into Otta and candidates into Workable. We can add questions for candidates to fill out which make it easy to identify the most interesting ones. Finally, our Otta page helps with our employer branding especially with being able to put diversity data and photos of our environment. **What do you dislike about Otta?** Nothing of note - feature development is pretty quick when we provide feedback **What problems is Otta solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being able to hire candidates quickly in a highly competitive environment that want to work in tech startups. It heavily reduces our recruitment fees and increases pipeline of candidates - plus the candidates that come through are very actively interested in startups ### 14. Cazoo hiring using Otta **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Boaz V. | Head of Product **Reviewed Date:** September 22, 2022 **What do you like best about Otta?** Otta has a delightful user experience as a hiring manager. I've been able to source amazing passive candidates and Otta has been instrumental in extending reach to candidates from a diverse background. **What do you dislike about Otta?** There are very little downsides. Otta has focused slightly more on the candidate experience than the B2B offering, so I think there a whole host of functionality that they could provide to enhance the hiring experience but the core product is great. **What problems is Otta solving and how is that benefiting you?** Otta candidates are generally more suited for startups and their Otta profiles are better curated for the type of people we look to hire in modern Tech organisations compared to Linkedin. LinkedIn feels cold and clunky while Otta feels like a consumer app that cares about facilitating a quality process between candidate and company. Cazoo has hired severally people via Otta and has helped us in our DEI goals. - [View Otta pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/otta/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-15+10%3A36%3A20+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=cf896518-d82a-47d1-8556-794f3d000e61&secure%5Btoken%5D=b551459180227f166194c74aecba7893d8091616d982c236d91e5bf485aaa7a5&format=llm_user) ## Otta Integrations - [Lever](https://www.g2.com/products/lever/reviews) ## Otta Features **Platform Basics** - Reporting - Interoperability - Performance **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization **Platform Content** - Automation - Search Tools - Posting Tools **Platform Additional Functionality** - Dashboard - Mobility - Payment - Portal - Marketing Tools - Integrations **Platform** - Customization - Integration APIs - Internationalization - User, Role, and Access Management - Performance - Mobility - Reporting - Dashboards ## Top Otta Alternatives - [LinkedIn Job Search](https://www.g2.com/products/linkedin-job-search/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (1,038 reviews) - [cord](https://www.g2.com/products/cord/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (271 reviews) - [Indeed Hiring Platform](https://www.g2.com/products/indeed-hiring-platform/reviews) - 4.3/5.0 (638 reviews)
