Welcome to the Jungle UKArvostelua 

Suggested jobs were well recommended and received notifications when new jobs were available. Jobs well curated and has Glassdoor company rating can be seen on the job posting to gauge whether or not the company status is good or not.

A super straightforward site!
I signed up looking for my first tech role, and received only the suitable roles - i.e. entry-level / less experience - based on my answers to their robust and thorough categories when setting up my profile. Just a really easy experience and would definitely recommend.

I’m based in the US. Why did I get diverted to the Jungle UK site?

Half the site's links don't work it gets very frustrating.

I have been using this website for a long time in hopes of finding a new job opportunity, but I have not succeeded yet.

This was my first time using Welcome to the Jungle (Otta) and I found it better than a lot of other job boards/sites I was using. I like how the information is laid out for the company, and the direct link to the company's job posting to apply. I did not use the feature to submit my resume from their site, so I can't speak to that feature. The site is visually appeasing, they matched me to applicable job postings, and I enjoyed the follow up emails they offered. Overall, a great experience!

I've used Otta (Welcome to the Jungle) twice now to find a full time job and I could not recommend it more. No other platform in the world serves me personalized job ad recommendations. Great stuff!

The name is horrible. Bad choice regarding the name, I still call the app Otta.

Also, the idea is quite ineffective. Applying through them with my profile didn't gain me much traction. They don't allow adding a resume, which I can polish to my liking.

On the plus side, they are easier to handle than LinkenIn, Reed, or Indeed. The UI/UX is definitely one of their advantages.

Awesome product. Very mobile friendly, functional, intuitive and easy to use. Curated suggestions make it easy to find and apply to multiple relevant roles.
Sorting into different piles (applied, interviewing, saved, offered) is also very helpful.

Lost its spark. Used to be amazing for quality jobs where a decent chance of hearing back and interviewing happened. Now the quality has dropped massively as they need to grow and let more through the jet I suppose. There is active discrimination by companies. I applied for one and clearly was not chosen as I didn't have a "Muslim name", like the rest of the employees listed on the website.
I reported this to support but heard nothing back.

Great interface, great job filtering. I’m able to see roles that are related to my role and relevant to me

I’ve had an excellent experience using this platform, as it’s helped me secure not one but two jobs in the UK. The interface is straightforward and makes navigating job descriptions and company information a breeze. The standout feature for me is the visa sponsorship filter, which has been critical as I was initially searching for roles from a different country. This feature matched me with the right companies and played a pivotal role in my job search. After moving to the UK, it also helped me secure another role when I decided to switch jobs.

One of the things I truly appreciate is how the service continues to evolve. The addition of salary benchmarks powered by data from various companies has been a great help in assessing and aligning opportunities with expectations.

That said, there’s always room for improvement, and I’d like to suggest a few features that could make this platform even better:

1. While the auto-generated CV is useful, it doesn’t suit everyone. Allowing users to upload their own CVs or providing more customisable templates would enhance the application process.
2. Introducing user-defined or pre-built stages for tracking applications (e.g., Screening -> Technical Interview -> Cultural Fit) would be a huge help. Improving the UI for easier navigation and readability across applications would also be great.
3. Adding a feature to take notes about different applications and their stages would be very practical.
4. Let users sort applications based on their interview experience, with options to like/dislike, add comments, and potentially send feedback to the companies.
5. Applications often sit in the "Application Started" section without updates. It would be helpful to have a dedicated section prompting users to clarify the status of older applications to keep the list clean and up to date.

I’m giving 4 stars because I genuinely love the platform and want to see it grow even further. These improvements would make it unbeatable in the job search space.

Thank you for creating such an incredible tool that has been instrumental in my career journey. Keep up the amazing work!

None of the jobs on here ever get back to you.

Excellent place to find postings, apply to jobs, and manage the job search. I recommend to everyone I know who is searching

While using this platform at Otta I think it was absolutely brilliant - in fact i've been using it for years. It's now Welcome to the Jungle and while the platform is still relatively unchanged, I've noticed that most of the jobs now don't list a salary. This is one of the most frustrating things about job searching and unfortunately it's no longer the first platform I reach for when job searching because of this.

Great platform to find jobs in the UK.

Number of useful filters to tailor the job search relevant to one's experience.

I loved the platform as a job seeker! The information available is great and it’s easy to use! They also put on some great DEI focused events and I’ve managed to secure my next role through Otta!

no results of remote work work-login, no proof of contract, and why I casual contracts cant be issued.

I love when the companies on the site give responses good or bad. The sites filter is a great feature that helps you find what’s exactly for you.

Non of the jobs seem to go anywhere. No rejection, no answers. I'm also not a fan of how you pick the sector you want to be in.
