Description

Spott is an AI-native ATS and CRM built for recruitment and staffing agencies. Unlike legacy platforms that bolt AI on as an afterthought, Spott was engineered from the ground up with AI at its core — making it the first recruiting platform purpose-built for the AI era.
The platform combines applicant tracking and candidate relationship management into a single, intuitive workspace, eliminating the need to switch between tools. Key capabilities include semantic candidate-job matching, AI-driven multi-channel outreach, conversation intelligence with automatic call summarization, data enrichment, on-brand candidate presentations, and advanced analytics — all in one place.
Spott is designed for agencies running exec search, permanent placement, staffing, and RPO. It scales from lean boutique teams to enterprise operations handling over a million candidate records. GDPR compliant, ISO 27001 certified, and EU-hosted, it's built for agencies that need reliability at scale.
Backed by Y Combinator and trusted by agencies that have migrated off Bullhorn, Vincere, Loxo, and JobAdder, Spott helps recruiters make more placements, faster.
