For candidates
Tell us what would make your next move worth it
You do not need to be actively job hunting to use Optio. You just need to know what a better opportunity would look like — and be willing to tell us quietly.
The problem
You do not need to be actively job hunting
Most good candidates are not on job boards. They are already working, doing a reasonable job, but aware that the right move — at the right time — could make a real difference.
The problem is that most recruitment processes are built for people who are already actively looking. If you’re not refreshing job boards every day, you’re invisible to most employers.
Optio is different. It is built for people who might consider a move — but only if it’s genuinely worth it.
Not actively looking
You’re employed and not browsing listings — but you might move for the right opportunity.
Invisible to employers
Most hiring processes only reach people who are already actively searching.
Open to the right move
Optio is for people who would consider a move — but only when it’s genuinely worth it.
Your priorities
Tell us what would make a move attractive
Rather than sending you job alerts based on your job title, Optio asks a better question: what would make your next move worth considering?
You tell us your priorities. We use that information to match you with employers who can meet them — and to show employers what the talent market actually wants.

Better package or benefits
Better hours
Better work-life balance

Less travel or smaller patch

Control
Stay in control
Your wish list is yours. You decide:
- What information to share
- When you want to be contacted
- Whether to respond to any opportunity
- When to update or remove your profile
Optio never passes your details to employers without your knowledge. You will always know why a match has been made and what the opportunity involves before anyone contacts you.
Matching
Be matched with relevant opportunities
When an employer using Optio has a role that matches your wish list, you will be notified. You can then decide whether to find out more.
Matches are explained clearly — you will see why the opportunity is relevant to your priorities and what the role involves. You are never pushed towards a role that doesn’t fit what you told us.
Optio also uses your wish list data anonymously and in aggregate to help employers understand what the talent market actually wants — which can lead to better job offers across the board.
