Pickr vs Spott
Spott covers the front of the funnel well: sourcing, notetaking, and CV formatting. Pickr puts AI inside every step that comes after: screening, scheduling, scorecards, client feedback, and placement. If your bottleneck is running the process rather than finding names, that difference is the whole game.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Pickr a good alternative to Spott?
Yes, if your bottleneck is running the process rather than finding names. Spott is strong at the front of the funnel: sourcing, call notes, CV formatting. Pickr puts AI inside every step after that: screening, scheduling, scorecards, client feedback, and placement. Every candidate is scored automatically, follow-ups are drafted before you ask, and each hire makes the next one smarter. Interviewer seats are free; hiring managers hold a paid seat.
Can I migrate from Spott to Pickr?
Yes. There is no one-click Spott importer today, so the move is a structured import: you bring your candidates and jobs over via CSV or API, and our team maps your pipeline stages with you. Most teams are done within a day. Keep your Spott account open until you have checked the imported data, so nothing is lost on the way.
What does Pickr do that Spott does not?
Pickr scores every candidate automatically against the job's real requirements, with match reasoning you can explain to the client, instead of scoring on demand. Interviews come with tailored questions and scorecards that are analyzed for you, not just a notetaker. Outreach sequences are built on a drag-and-drop canvas instead of a step list. And because Pickr learns from your outcomes, match accuracy improves with every hire.
Where is my data hosted with Pickr compared with Spott?
Both are hosted in the EU by default, so hosting region alone is not the difference. Pickr goes further: candidate data and the application itself run in Frankfurt, Germany, names and emails are redacted from AI prompts by default, and a signed Data Processing Agreement (AVV) is included. If AI processing must never leave the EU, that is one setting. Every sub-processor we use is published.
Who should stay on Spott?
Teams whose main problem is finding names. If sourcing, call notes, and formatted CVs are the bulk of your day and the process after that is short and simple, Spott covers that well and you may not need what Pickr adds. If your recruiters spend the day screening, scheduling, chasing client feedback, and closing placements, that is where Pickr pays off. We would rather tell you that on a call than sell you a seat you do not use.
