Okta recruiting is re-imagining how recruiting is done.  We are on a journey to becoming a pro-active talent sales and marketing organization.  The product we are focused on marketing to our customers, talented candidates, is a career at Okta!  Our vision, why we exist, is “Connect the Best Talent with Okta.
