What Spott sells
“The AI-native workspace for agency recruiters.” Spott, founded in Leuven in 2024 and backed by Y Combinator, Base10 and Balderton, builds what it calls “the AI-native ATS/CRM for recruitment firms”. It replaces tools like Bullhorn for staffing and search agencies with one platform for candidates, clients, semantic search and matching, multichannel outreach, call notes, automations and an MCP server. Spott says it does not move candidates into pipelines or present them to clients without human approval. [1][2][4][5][6][7][8][9]
Its AI. Ask AI answers questions on any candidate, contact or meeting transcript; Spott suggests follow-up tasks after each call; Call Intelligence takes notes and summaries; AI handles search and matching, text-to-filters and data enrichment. Its MCP server gives Claude and ChatGPT read and write access to the recruiting database. [2]
