Spott ships a release every week. The highlights land here; smaller fixes and polish ship continuously.
​

​
Email block list, portal stage filters, and fixed retained fees

  • Email block list: block specific email addresses or entire domains from email synchronization, so they are never imported into Spott. Keeps your database clean and gives you control over what syncs. Read the guide.
  • Company Portal stage filters: publish candidates to the Company Portal automatically as they move through your pipeline, and configure which stages trigger publication, so only candidates at the right stages are shared. Read the guide.
  • Fixed fees on retained jobs: retained placements now support a fixed success fee in addition to percentage-based fees, matching more retained fee agreements.
Also new: the OneUp and Nitro eSignature integrations, email previews in the Present flow, hiding weekend days in the Calendar, a fixed number of billed days on interim placements, end dates on contingent placements that put candidates back in the available pool, file attachments on placement pages, Job created and Candidate rejected automation triggers, message templates in automation send email actions, interim dashboards with weekly or monthly KPIs, deleting individual emails from the mail sync, AI summaries that use first names, and a configurable minimum duration for call transcription.
​

​
Docked emails, test sends, and conversational job descriptions

  • Docked email composer: dock the composer like Tasks and keep working in Spott while you draft, instead of being locked into the compose window.
  • Send test emails: send a message to yourself first to check formatting and personalization before a bulk send.
  • Rewrite job descriptions with AI: the Job Advertising page now has an Ask AI assistant that refines descriptions through a conversation, not just a one-click rewrite.
Also new: filter the Dashboard by Team, drag action blocks around in Automations, optional end dates on staffing placements with weekly GP from the working schedule, a minimum call duration for VoIP providers, Polish, Romanian, Italian, and Afrikaans as AI languages, new automation triggers (Job created, File expired) and actions (delete attachment, open placement, open note), merging records straight from table views, and VAT numbers on the Client API.
​

​
Unique record identifiers, attachment attributes, and DocuSign

  • Unique record identifiers: display a unique ID on every record and find records by ID in global search. Ideal for large databases with duplicate names. Admins enable it under Settings → Features.
  • Attachment attributes: attachments now support custom attributes and shared file types across records, configurable in Settings → Data Model and accessible via the API.
  • DocuSign integration: send any attachment for signature to one or more recipients and track signature status from the record’s files.
Also new: bulk present candidates from the Candidate table, bulk actions on the Similar Candidates tab, activity feeds filterable by type, upcoming meetings in the Calendar sidebar with double-click scheduling, list membership as a table column, email labels on send, and over-the-air updates for the mobile app.
