Inbound email

Every emailed resume becomes a candidate

Each job gets its own address. Forward an application or let candidates apply by email — Otter reads the attachment, builds the profile, merges duplicates and drops them into the right pipeline.

  • PDF, Word and scanned resumes
  • Duplicates matched by email and phone
  • Replies thread onto the candidate

FAQ

Questions, answered

Can't find what you need? Get in touch or browse the docs.

What is Otter?

Otter is an applicant tracking system (ATS): one place to collect applications, move candidates through your hiring stages, schedule interviews, gather feedback and report on hiring — built to be fast and calm to use.

How much does it cost?

Otter is free during early access. Every new workspace gets the Growth plan with no card required. The plan prices below are planned for later, and we'll give notice before anything is charged.

Can I try it before signing up?

Yes — the live demo opens a read-only sample workspace for a fictional company, Northwind Labs, with jobs, candidates, interviews and reports already filled in.

How do resumes get into Otter?

From your hosted careers page, by email to an address for each job, by importing from Greenhouse, Lever, Workable or a CSV, or added by hand. Resumes are parsed into candidate profiles automatically.

Does Otter use AI to reject candidates?

No. AI reads resumes and answers questions about your pipeline. Otter never ranks, scores or rejects candidates automatically — your team makes every decision.

Is my data secure?

Every workspace is isolated in the database with row-level security, access is controlled by roles, and privileged actions are written to an audit log. The Security page explains exactly what's in place.
