Most job tools help you apply faster. Job Otter helps you decide better.

Assess fit, spot risks, and understand how to position yourself — before you apply.

Job Match Assessment

Position Yourself Credibly

Once you decide to apply, Job Otter helps you tailor resume bullets and draft a role-specific cover letter — grounded in your resume, goals, and the job’s expectations — not generic filler.

Tailor your application

Apply With Confidence

Carry your fit and positioning forward into interviews and follow-ups, with clear talking points and less second-guessing throughout the process.

About Job Otter

Job search is harder than it should be.

The job market is tough right now. Roles attract hundreds of applicants, expectations are often unclear, and the cost of investing time in the wrong opportunity is higher than ever.

Without support at the moment of evaluation, people often:

  • Apply to roles that were never a real match
  • Skip roles they were well suited for
  • Send applications that don’t reflect their real strengths

The result? Burnout, second-guessing, and low signal to employers

That’s the gap Job Otter is built to fill.

Our approach

Job Otter is evidence-driven. By analyzing patterns across thousands of successful applications and real job descriptions, we’ve fine-tuned our models to surface what actually matters — the skills, signals, and experience recruiters are filtering for.

No more guessing games. Just clearer decisions and more relevant applications.

Our mission is simple: help job seekers make better application decisions — and apply with clarity and confidence, even in a tough market.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Job Otter actually help me do?
Job Otter helps you decide whether a job is worth applying to and then supports you in positioning yourself well if you do. It combines fit assessment with role-specific application support, so you can invest your effort where it makes sense.
Does Job Otter apply to jobs for me?
No — and that’s intentional. Job Otter doesn’t auto-apply or submit applications on your behalf. It’s designed to help you make better decisions and send stronger, more thoughtful applications.
Will Job Otter write my resume or cover letter automatically?
Yes! Based on the job description, your resume, and your job search goals, Job Otter generates a tailored cover letter draft and a role-specific list of achievements you can use in your resume. Everything is editable — you decide what gets sent.
Who is Job Otter best for?
Job Otter is for people who want to apply intentionally, not at scale. It’s especially useful for experienced ICs, managers, and career switchers who want fewer applications — and better outcomes.
Where does Job Otter work?
Anywhere you find job postings — including LinkedIn, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and company career pages.
