Security

Spott is built for agencies handling sensitive candidate and client information every day.
That’s why security, privacy, and compliance are embedded into every layer of our platform.
From encryption to EU-hosted infrastructure, your ATS and CRM data stays safe, private, and fully under your control.

Privacy and compliance

Your data stays private

Recruitment data is confidential by nature. Spott is GDPR compliant and designed to ensure your information is handled responsibly, transparently, and securely, always.

ISO 27001 aligned security practices

Spott follows internationally recognized security standards and maintains a comprehensive set of controls, policies, and procedures to protect customer data.

No training on your agency data

Spott never uses your candidate or client data to train foundation models.
Your information remains yours, and is never repurposed for external AI training.

EU-hosted infrastructure

All data is securely hosted and processed within the EU, supporting regulatory compliance and giving agencies peace of mind about where their information lives.

Enterprise-grade protection

Spott applies modern security best practices to safeguard your platform against unauthorized access, data loss, and evolving threats.

Encrypted at rest and in transit

Your data is protected with industry-standard encryption, both when stored and while moving through the platform, ensuring it stays secure at every step.

Controlled access

Only approved users can access your workspace. Permissions, authentication, and access controls are built to keep recruitment data in the right hands.

Frequently Asked.

  • What integrations are available?

    Spott connects with LinkedIn Recruiter, major job boards, email, WhatsApp, VoIP, and calendar tools. See the full list at spott.io/integrations.

  • Where is my data hosted?

    EU-hosted by default, with options based on your region and compliance requirements. Spott is ISO 27001 certified and fully GDPR compliant.

  • How does the AI matching actually work?

    Spott uses true vector databases to understand the meaning behind job descriptions, candidate profiles, and conversations. Not keyword matching, not a GPT wrapper. Every match is explainable, and the system gets sharper the more your team uses it.

  • You're a young company. Can I trust Spott?

    Spott has 1,000+ daily active users across five continents, from Argentina and the US to Australia, South Africa, Thailand, and across mainland Europe and the UK. We're backed by Y Combinator, ISO 27001 certified, and shipping product improvements every single week.

  • Is my data used to train AI models?

    No. Your candidate and client data is never used to train models. Spott processes your data to deliver results within your account only. Your talent pool stays yours.

  • What's included vs. what costs extra?

    AI is not an add-on. Token spend for matching, note-taking, outreach drafting, and recommendations is included in every plan. It's instrumental to how Spott works. The only extra cost is enrichment credits for sourcing contact data like email addresses and phone numbers, similar to tools like Lusha.

  • Can I try Spott before committing?

    Yes. Book a demo or fill out the onboarding form and we'll get you set up with a guided walkthrough so you can see exactly how Spott fits your workflow before making a decision.

  • How long does migration take?

    Four weeks is typical. Often faster when data from your previous ATS is delivered on time and complete. Spott handles extraction, validation, and go-live support. No external consultants needed.

  • What platforms can I migrate from?

    Any ATS or CRM. Spott's flexible data model converts your existing records (candidates, clients, jobs, notes, and activity history) with virtually zero data loss. We've migrated teams from Bullhorn, Vincere, JobAdder, Loxo, Recruiterflow, and many more.
