Introducing Dots · Market intelligenceYour database already knows who’s moving, who’s hiring and who to call. Dots connects the dots.

Records that keep themselves current
Dots researches your candidates, contacts and client companies on the web and adds what it finds to their records, each fact linked to the page it came from.
- New roles, promotions and moves picked up without anyone re-keying a CV
- Company news, funding and hiring activity added to client records
- Conflicts shown side by side when the web and your records disagree
Know your market before your competitors do
Signals tell your recruiters what changed, why it matters and what to do next. They're ranked, so each recruiter sees the few that matter today.
- Job changes, promotions and contracts ending among your people
- Layoffs, acquisitions and funding at the companies they work for
- Warm-intro paths through people your team already knows
Who to float each candidate to
For any candidate, Dots builds a list of hiring managers worth contacting, starting with your own contacts. Every lead explains why it's there.
- Hiring managers whose open roles need the candidate's skills
- Clients already hiring from the candidate's current employer
- Backfill opportunities created when a candidate moves on

Placements you can defend
Applicants are checked against the job one requirement at a time: met, not met or unknown, with the evidence behind each mark. No black-box number.
- Evidence for every mark, quoted from the CV, notes or the web
- Honest gaps, so “unknown” becomes a screening-call question
- Based on what they've done, not just what their title says
Dots · Built to be trustedWhy Dots is different
Not another “ask the AI” button
Plenty of tools now send a question to a chatbot and show whatever comes back. That’s fast, but you can’t check it, it forgets everything, and it’s sometimes simply made up. Dots is built the other way round.
The AI suggests. Dots checks.
Built to be trusted
Your data, your rules
Your candidate and client data is the most valuable thing your agency owns.
Walled off from everyone else
Every agency's data is kept separate at the database level. Your research never reaches another agency.
Private notes stay private
A recruiter's private notes are visible only to that recruiter, and so is anything Dots works out from them.
People have the final say
When a recruiter corrects or rejects a fact, it stays corrected. It won't come back on the next refresh.
Nothing quietly deleted
When sources disagree, both are kept. When something changes, the old value becomes history you can look back on.
Nothing sent on your behalf
Dots recommends. Your recruiters decide who to contact and when.
Access follows your team
When someone leaves your team, their access goes with them, automatically.
