Bottom line
Welcome to the Jungle is an employer brand and job matching suite that now includes the former Otta candidate base, sourcing and its own ATS. Pricing is quote-based: a suite subscription plus a job package sized to your open roles. It fits growing tech and startup-style employers that want to win candidates on culture and mission.
Stands out for: Every sourcing message can carry your culture videos, team photos and values, and the vendor reports around a 40% average response rate from this. Job Matching ranks applicants on motivation and culture fit, not only keywords. You do not have to use its ATS: Greenhouse, Lever, Workable and Ashby users can let candidates apply inside the platform while applications land in their own system.
Watch out for: No prices are published, so you need a sales call to budget. The published case studies are UK companies such as Checkout.com and Codat, so check candidate depth for US roles and locations before you sign. Studio brand content costs extra.
Overview
Welcome to the Jungle sells the Welcome Hiring Suite, which bundles Employer Brand, Job Matching, Sourcing and Welcome ATS.
It absorbed Otta, the tech job matching app, and the candidate app still carries the Otta name in app stores.
The vendor says its job matching pool holds about 3 million candidates, 700K of them actively looking, and its sourcing tool can unlock 18 million extended profiles outside the platform.
Pricing is a subscription plus job packages based on active roles, with top-ups when hiring increases; no figures are published.
The company reports 4,500+ employer clients.
