Example resume

Columns look sharp to people. Software reads straight across them.

Built for AI screening

Hiring software reads and ranks resumes before a person does, and more and more of it uses AI. Otto makes sure it reads yours right.

  • Every format reads top to bottom

    We test every PDF format so its text reads top to bottom in the right order, with headings on their own lines, on Letter and A4 paper. Try it on your resume

  • See what hiring software reads

    The recruiter view shows the text hiring software pulls from your file, with a plain check and a reason for each problem. See the recruiter view

  • Otto does the busywork

    Every day Otto reads new jobs and matches them to your resume. On Pro he also tailors it to a job, drafts cover letters and preps you for interviews. See what Pro includes

  • A portfolio AI can read too

    Your portfolio page carries a machine-readable summary of what it shows, so search engines and AI agents read your name, role, work and skills as clearly as people do. Nothing you hide goes in. See the portfolio designs

Jobs · new every day

48,000+ open jobs, ranked for your resume

Otto reads company job boards every day and puts the jobs that fit your resume first, with a plain reason for each. Free shows your top 5; Pro matches you against all of them.

  • Senior Product Designer · Northwind

    Remote, Europe · 2 days ago

    Strong match

    Found in your resume: Figma, user research, prototyping. Not found: accessibility.

  • Product Designer, Payments · Ledgerly

  • UX Designer · Harbor Health

    New York, US · 1 week ago

    Good matchLikely blocked

    Found in your resume: user research, prototyping.

    You said you'd need a visa to work in the United States.

  • Matched to your resume

    Each job shows what it asks for that your resume has, and what it doesn't. The closest matches come first.

  • Visa and work rights, checked

    On Pro, tell Otto where you can work and posts that say they can't hire you are marked. Companies on the public US H-1B and UK sponsor registers say so.

  • The role, level and place you want

    Pick a role, a level and a place, or remote only. Otto guesses them from your resume to start.

  • Straight from the company

    Jobs come from company job boards and remote job sites, read every day. Each one links to the original post.

Portfolio · hosted for you

A real portfolio, live at your own link.

Not your resume as a web page. Pick one of eight designs and Otto fills it with your projects, work, writing and links. We host it, so there's nothing to set up. It comes with Pro, and you can try it free for 3 days.

  • A portfolio page in the Bento design

    Bento

    Everything in tiles: intro, stack, live local time, GitHub and projects.

  • A portfolio page in the Dock design

    Dock

    One calm column that fades in, with work rows, project cards and a floating dock.

  • A portfolio page in the Reel design

    Reel

    A huge rotating title over a 3D sphere, then each project in a device frame.

Before you start

Is it really free to download?
Yes. Editing, recruiter checks and PDF downloads are free, with no paywall at the last step. Pro and Max add Otto's AI help, more formats, more resumes and Word downloads on top.
What is an ATS?
An applicant tracking system: the software most employers use to collect and sort applications. It reads the text in your file, and fancy layouts can scramble it. Otto shows you exactly what it reads.
Will Otto invent things on my resume?
No. Otto asks you for facts, like numbers and results, and only uses what you tell him. You review every change before it goes on your resume.
Do I need an account?
Not to check, edit or download. Backups need a free account: sign in with Google or an emailed 6-digit code, no password. Otto's AI help, the full list of job matches (Free shows your closest 5) and tracking more than 1 application come with Pro: try it free for 3 days, then $15/month.
Where is my data stored?
Your resumes are saved in your browser. If you sign in, we also keep a backup so you can open them on any device. We read uploaded files to get the text, then let them go. Details are in our privacy policy.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel your plan from your account page whenever you like. You keep it until the end of the period you paid for, and you aren't charged again.
Does it work for any job?
Yes, from your first job to senior roles, in any field. Tailoring works with any job post you paste in. Otto reads resumes written in English best.
