Welcome to the Jungle UK Avis 1 059

Otta consistently gives relevant results and has updated results regularly. Its the best platform I found for actually giving you the jobs you want. (No jobs with 10yr experience requirements when I’ve specified I’m looking for Junior roles etc.)

Lots of interesting tech jobs, constantly freshed with new jobs.

Otta is the first job platform I've used that actually seems to be designed to find and interview for jobs, providing a complete user journey through the entire process from application through to interviews.

I've decided to give 2/5 since although the site is really nice, I've not had any positive application experiences so far, which is ultimately the main goal of the site.

Pros:
- The site has a stylish, simple UI that is nice to use.
- The personalised search is very useful.
- Job descriptions are very easy to read and understand.
- Key job details (e.g. tech stack & salary) are very easy to see from the job descriptions.

Areas for improvement:
- The personalised search is slightly painful to adjust, since you have to jump to a certain page of the search filters, update the values, then jump to the final page of the search in order to see the "Finish" button.
- There is currently no workflow for failed applications. I just have to "Remove" the applications from the "Applied" section of my dashboard, which then marks the jobs as "Seen", and doesn't track anywhere that I've been rejected from that application.
- Rejections are done via messages from the company, rather than an official rejection flow.
- Messages cannot be archived, making it hard to stay on top of inbox messages. It also makes it painful to look at your inbox when most of the messages/conversations are rejection messages.
- The default Otta application rejection message is very impersonal, and gives no real feedback to the applicant. I've applied to multiple jobs now where I've been sent back the same default Otta rejection response message of "Thanks for taking the time to apply to X. Unfortunately we have decided not to progress your application, as your application was not as strong as other candidates." - this hasn't helped me at all, and has left me feeling pretty demotivated about applying to any other roles via Otta, especially when the rejection message is almost immediate for an application that I've spent a long time personalising my application answers for.
- No feedback flow for users to give feedback to the app, hence I've had to share my thoughts on TrustPilot instead.

I am still really excited about Otta, but I've really found the rejection flow to be disappointing and demoralising.

The recommendations are on point! It's good to have the noise filtered out.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Otta team for their unwavering support throughout the past few years. Thanks to them, I have secured fantastic roles in tech companies on two separate occasions. Otta has been instrumental in my career growth, and without a doubt, I'll be returning to them when I'm back on the job market. Highly recommended!

Love the platform and I can confidently say this site improved the way I look for jobs and landed me a new position after about 2 months of use. Thank you!

Best job search website, clear and matches are really on point, easy to track all applications. Totally recommend

Great job postings I wouldn’t have otherwise seen.

Daily emails, consistent follow-up, constantly reminding me of the new places I should be looking at. I love OTTA

Great website, helped me easily get a job.

Honest website to find jobs as Software Engineer.
It displays lot of useful information about the company you are matched with: glassdoor score, average response time, fundings.
Also the search settings are very configurable: technologies you like or do not want to work with, preferred fields, type of job (eg. Data Science, Software Engineer, Data Engineer, Machine Learning Engineer), experience (intern, entry, senior, ..)

A really good platform that makes you feel and look special, simplifies your admin/user journey and offers you really relevant roles.

Loved my experience with Otta. Their job matches are always relevant and the choice of companies they work with is quite wide.

Otta really helped my job seeking right from CV building until receiving the Offer.
Truly speaking, it was like a personal guidance in CV building. I have extended my thanks to the company and people as a LinkedIn post as well. Kudos and you guys are doing great.. keep doing the job of make a difference among others !

Cheers,
