Founded by Teddy Otero
Built from inside a job search.
I've spent more than twenty years in brand and marketing. I started as a graphic designer and, most recently, led marketing and communications for a data center company in Seattle, with a team of nine. My work has always been about helping people see something real, clearly.
When I went looking for my next role, the hard part wasn't applying. It was the sorting: dozens of alerts a day, most of them wrong, each one a click, a skim and a guess. So I built myself a system to scan them and tell me which few deserved my time. It worked well enough that I knew I couldn't keep it to myself. That system became Vektr.
I'm not a developer, and I don't pretend to be. I built Vektr the way I've built teams: a clear mission, the right specialists, and careful review at every step. I live in Washington with my wife and our seven kids. (Yes, seven.)
Why Vektr exists
Work is more than a paycheck.
Good work gives a life its shape. It's where we use what we're good at, provide for the people we love, and find out what we're made of. A job is never just a salary. It's a commute, a team, a schedule, and a direction for the years ahead. Getting that right matters, and it deserves more than a guess.
Finding it has become a grind. Alerts arrive by the dozen, most of them wrong. Applications disappear into systems that screen by keyword. Now AI writes the postings, the résumés and the rejections, so both sides are shouting louder and hearing less. Good people get missed, and good roles go to whoever had the most time to dig.
We believe AI should do the opposite. It should take the noise off your plate and give you back your judgment, not replace it. Vektr does the scanning so you can spend your hours on the few roles that deserve them, and on the preparation and people that actually get you hired.
Everyone deserves to be seen for who they are and where they're headed, not just for the keywords on their résumé. And no one should have to search alone. When a role isn't right for you but would be perfect for someone else, it can find them. That's the work Vektr was built to do.
Who it's for
For everyone who works, or wants to.
Vektr is for students and executives and everyone between. Your time matters at every stage, so Vektr is built to give some of it back, whatever you do and however you're paid.
Students
Starting out? Internships and entry roles count, and your goal can start before you have a long history.
Hourly workers
Pay can be hourly or yearly. Your schedule and commute count as much as the title.
Career changers
Judged on where you're headed, not only on the last job title.
Experienced and executives
Fewer hours reading alerts, and a straight answer on whether a role is worth a call.
How Vektr behaves
Three promises.
It works for you.
Not recruiters. Not advertisers. Vektr never accepts payment to show you a role.
It tells you the truth.
If a role is a long shot, the score says so, and says why.
You stay in charge.
Your dealbreakers are respected, you pick what Vektr scans, and you can delete your account yourself.
Vektr's space probe
Meet Vega.
Small and round, with a screen for a face, Vega scans the alerts you send, carries roles between members, and comes back with the ones worth your time.
My family dreamed Vega up, and our kids can't wait for the stuffies.
Say hello
