Overview
Spott is a Leuven-based, Y Combinator-backed AI-native ATS/CRM for recruiting and staffing firms. It is built from scratch around semantic/vector search, automated note-taking, outreach, enrichment, and candidate presentation workflows so recruiters can work from one system instead of a stack of legacy tools.
