Help us build a career champion
Searching for a job is a pivotal moment, yet it's often so transactional, frustrating, and draining. So we're on a mission to build a job search that brings out the best in candidates so they can find their dream job
WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO
bring out your best
We work hard to hire great people and provide the support they need to do some of their life's best work. We're a mission-driven bunch who love helping people find fulfilment
Benefits at Otta
24 days holiday + 3 EOY holidays (excl. bank holidays)
We believe plenty of holiday sets us up for success. We close the office for 3 days at the end of year, allowing the whole company to recharge
Health insurance
Private medical insurance with AXA. This also includes cash reimbursement for dental and optical costs
Personal development allowance
Spend £500 to help you grow as an individual. E.g. Audible, news subscriptions, books
Wellbeing allowance
Spend £500 to keep healthy. E.g. Gym membership, Headspace, yoga classes
Flexible working
Work from home when you need to. We care about output, not clocked hours
Choose your laptop
Everyone gets a new laptop when they join us
Team lunches and dinners
We love to eat together as a team, so go out regularly for food and socials
Help us decide
We're looking forward to working with our early employees on what matters the most (e.g. enhanced parental leave)
STARTING WITH OUR VALUES HELP US
put candidates first
Candidates first
Otta was started to make job search less soul crushing. Our main focus is meticulously crafting the best experience for candidates.
There for each other
Startups are hard, but more enjoyable when working with great people. We are supportive and generous with our time, whether it's giving feedback or brightening up someone's day.
We challenge because we care
We believe challenge allows us to reach new heights. From personal development to product design, we challenge because we care about each other and Otta’s success.
What's the return?
We like to make a lot happen with a little. Doing this requires an evaluation of return on investment, and discipline to work on the problems that will have the biggest impact.
What would it take to learn faster?
Speed of iteration typically beats quality of iteration. We move fast when it helps us learn faster - we feel safe taking risks, finding smart shortcuts, or shipping experiments.
What could exceptional look like?
Our standards are high, and there are moments where it's worth pushing them further. We're comfortable asking hard questions to explore how to make something exceptional.
