About
Spott redefines the recruitment tech stack by building AI into its core rather than bolting it on as an afterthought. Designed exclusively for agency recruiters—covering executive search, permanent, temporary, and contracting roles—Spott replaces fragmented ATS and CRM tools with one unified, intelligent workspace. At its heart, Spott offers full semantic search and candidate-job matching so recruiters surface the best fits instantly. AI-driven personalization powers multi-channel outreach campaigns, while auto-updating candidate profiles and data enrichment keep records fresh without manual effort. Conversation intelligence captures notes and summarizes calls automatically, freeing recruiters to focus on relationships. On the business development side, Spott enables contact detail enrichment, speculative candidate presentations, and on-brand company portals—helping firms convert clients faster. Advanced analytics and dashboards give leadership real-time visibility into pipeline health, placement fees, and team performance, with full support for role-based access controls across large teams. Spott is engineered to remain performant at 1M+ candidate records and includes a white-glove, zero-downtime migration service that gets agencies live in four weeks. It integrates with existing tools and has already replaced platforms like Bullhorn, Jobadder, Vincere, Loxo, and Recruit CRM for its growing customer base. Backed by Y Combinator, Spott is built to scale with agencies of all sizes.
