Oneup Sales announces latest partnership.
London, 20th July 2026: OneUp Sales announces strategic partnership with Spott, a leading AI-native ATS/CRM platform
OneUp Sales have partnered with Spott to empower recruiters with better visibility of their data, allowing performance ownership and insight democratisation so that agencies can make more placements and grow revenue faster.
Spott has quickly established itself as one of the more forward-thinking platforms in the recruitment ATS/CRM space, offering something genuinely different for agencies rebuilding their tech stack around AI. That momentum - combined with steady demand from both Spott's customers and OneUp's own prospects - is what brought the two companies together.
The integration works on an individual, team and company level, making activity and performance visible - pulling together data recorded in Spott alongside other tools recruiters rely on, such as VoIP and timesheet systems, into a unified platform. OneUp's Coach product is also part of the integration, powering structured one-to-ones and performance coaching to drive better team outcomes. And with OneUp's gamification now fed by Spott data, teams can run data-synced competitions, leagues and collaborative missions in real time.
Manu Vanderveeren, Co-Founder & COO of Spott, said of the partnership:
"I kept seeing OneUp screens in our prospects' offices and only heard how it makes recruiting more fun and boosts performance, so we're excited to be the first AI-native ATS/CRM to offer the integration."
Derry Holt, Co-founder & CEO of OneUp Sales, said of the partnership:
“If I had to keep answering ‘no’ when an agency owner asks if we integrate with Spott, I'd lose my mind! I'm so glad we can now say ‘yes’. A cutting-edge AI ATS/CRM with one of the leading reporting and gamification solutions on the market? That's a winning combo!”
OneUp is selective about who it partners with. Of course, every partnership has to make commercial sense, but just as importantly, it must align with the company's high quality standards. Spott stood out on both fronts.
