Once a custom attribute is created, it will be available for all candidate profiles in your database.

AI filled Columns

When creating a new attribute, you'll now see the option to use AI to fill this column. Once enabled, the system will automatically populate the attributes based on candidate profiles and CVs. The AI analyzes the available information and fills in the attributes according to your specified prompt.

AI Columns examples:

  • Age calculation based on graduation dates

  • Skills extraction from CVs

  • Category matching based on candidate profiles

Use and manage custom attributes

Once created, custom attributes are directly visible and usable in Spott. You can:

  • Fill in attribute values directly in the candidate table or in the candidate’s profile view

  • Reorder columns by dragging them to a new position

  • Hide or show attributes as needed to keep your table organized

AI linking can speed up data entry by pre-filling attribute values where matches are detected. You can review and approve suggestions before they are saved.

Customizing candidate profiles helps you capture unique data points relevant to your recruitment process, making searches and filters more effective.
