Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
Looking for a job is a frustrating experience. It's incredibly hard to find a good match. Job adverts lack useful information like salary and diversity data. Companies sometimes never respond. There’s a lack of friendly-support in those tough moments of rejection… the list goes on
When starting Otta, we saw that candidates are often treated as second-class citizens. So we set out to build a candidate-first job search: one that is laser-focused on providing the best experience for candidates. In January 2024, Otta merged with Welcome to the Jungle
Welcome to the Jungle currently works to increase the visibility of businesses to almost three million active workers by enhancing their employer brand and enabling them to offer a seamless recruitment experience to their candidates and recruiters
Otta and Welcome to the Jungle both believe in a future of work based on the power of matching and share the same DNA that disrupts market conventions, from our branding to our obsession for helping people find meaning through their work
By redefining the standards of employer branding, job search and candidate sourcing, we aim to become the best platform for candidates and companies to find each other
