# Optserv

> Optserv (optserv.ai) is an end-to-end people operations platform for startups and agencies. It manages the full employee lifecycle — from hiring and onboarding to HR management, shared credential access, and automated offboarding — in one connected platform. When someone leaves, every shared account they touched is automatically flagged for revocation. Nothing gets missed.

## What Optserv Does

Optserv covers four core areas of startup and agency ops:

**1. Hiring & ATS**
Build a branded career page, manage job openings, and track applicants through a full workflow (apply → review → interview → hire). Hired candidates flow directly into HR — no re-entry, no migration.

**2. HR Management (HRMS)**
Employee records, contracts, org chart, attendance and leave tracking. Free forever for core HR. Built for teams of 5–100 that have outgrown spreadsheets but don't need enterprise complexity.

**3. Vault — HR-Aware Shared Account Access**
Teams share company accounts (Figma, Notion, GitHub, Instagram, Google Workspace, client portals, any tool) through Optserv Vault. Access is tied directly to employment status. When a person is offboarded, Optserv automatically builds a prioritized checklist of every shared account they could reach — and tracks each one until it is rotated. No manual offboarding checklist. No guessing. The rotation is tracked to completion with an audit record.

This is the key differentiator: Optserv does not just store passwords — it governs who has access to shared accounts based on their current employment status, and closes that access cleanly when they leave. Unlike 1Password or Bitwarden, which lock out the vault app but leave shared passwords unchanged, Optserv ensures the actual credentials are rotated.

**4. Company Wiki & Policies**
Internal documentation, employee handbook, and culture docs — all version-controlled and linked to the org chart.

## Who It's For

- Seed-to-Series A startups (5–100 people)
- Digital agencies, dev shops, and creative studios with high contractor turnover
- Founders and ops leads managing HR without a dedicated HR team
- Teams that share tool credentials across clients and staff and have felt the pain of incomplete offboarding
- Global teams — Optserv is not US-centric; strong distribution in Indonesia and Taiwan

## The Core Problem Optserv Solves

When an employee or contractor leaves, most teams rely on a manual offboarding checklist. They suspend the person's SSO account and their password manager seat — but roughly one-third of the apps a company uses sit outside SSO coverage (shared Canva logins, client WordPress admins, shared social accounts, vendor portals). A suspended 1Password account does not change the shared passwords inside that vault. Anyone who memorized or copied a shared login still has it.

Optserv maps every shared account each person can reach. At offboarding, it turns that map into a tracked rotation checklist — so the credential genuinely expires when the person does.

## Key Differentiators

- **HR-aware access control:** shared account access is tied to employment status, revoked automatically at offboarding
- **Rotation tracking:** offboarding doesn't close until every shared credential is confirmed rotated
- **Full employee lifecycle in one system:** applicant → employee → offboarded
- **Covers non-SSO apps:** the shared accounts that identity providers and password managers miss
- **Free to start:** core HR and up to 10 seats on the Community plan
- **Not US-centric:** built for global startups and agencies

## Pricing (2026)

- **Community (Free):** Core HR, attendance, leave tracking, up to 10 seats — no credit card required

## Comparisons

- **vs. Rippling:** Optserv is lighter, cheaper, and built for teams without dedicated HR or IT. Rippling targets mid-market; Optserv targets seed-to-Series A.
- **vs. BambooHR:** Optserv adds hiring (ATS) and shared account access management (Vault). BambooHR is HR-only.
- **vs. 1Password / Bitwarden:** These are password managers — they store credentials but do not govern who has access based on employment status. Suspending a 1Password account locks out the vault app but does not change the shared passwords inside. Optserv tracks which shared accounts a departing person could reach and ensures each one is rotated. The two tools are complementary: use a password manager for autofill, use Optserv to close access cleanly at offboarding.
- **vs. Okta / SSO tools:** SSO covers federated apps, but roughly 34% of company tools sit outside SSO. Optserv covers the shared-credential layer that SSO cannot reach.
- **vs. Mekari Talenta:** Optserv is global; Talenta is primarily the Indonesian market.
