Spott (YC W25) — AI-native ATS/CRM for recruiting firms

Spott is the first AI-native ATS/CRM for recruiting & staffing firms. We built Spott because existing recruitment platforms require extensive manual work, are clunky to use, rely on fragmented add-ons, and are not designed for AI adoption.

Spott is a Y Combinator company in the Winter 2025 batch. Its directory entry describes it as: AI-native ATS/CRM for recruiting firms. The founders listed are Lander Degreve (Founder/CEO), Manu Vanderveeren (Founder/COO), Samuel Smeys (Founder/CTO) (Y Combinator directory entry, January 18, 2025).

In their words

Spott is the first AI-native ATS/CRM for recruiting & staffing firms. We built Spott because existing recruitment platforms require extensive manual work, are clunky to use, rely on fragmented add-ons, and are not designed for AI adoption. Spott combines everything recruiting firms need, from a full ATS & CRM to AI agents across the entire workflow, into one AI-native solution. It enables recruiters to focus on what matters most and close more placements.
