What’s it like for applicants?
During sign-up, there are several questions you must answer to be able to see available roles. These are designed to ensure you are only shown opportunities that are relevant to you, so include queries around top priorities when looking for a role, industries and tech you like or dislike, as well as the standard location, expertise and skills.
When you apply for a role that is handled by Otta, you use a builder to create your application. This allows you to showcase your skills and experience a little differently, as well as incorporate your LinkedIn account, CV and a relevant cover note. Once you have done this once, it forms your profile, which is then used each time you apply for an opportunity, making changes where needed.
