Scotty AI
Agentic AI recruiter for enterprise volume hiring that engages, screens and schedules candidates over WhatsApp and voice.
Quote-based pricing
Bottom line
Enterprise grade AI recruiter for high volume hiring, strongest in Europe: instant WhatsApp and voice replies, screening, scheduling and cross selling candidates into other roles, all synced with the ATS. It is consulting led and quote based with a multi week rollout, so it suits large employers and staffing firms rather than small teams wanting a self serve tool.
Stands out for: Scotty handles the messy middle of volume hiring, not just the happy path: missing documents, no shows and reschedules are chased or escalated automatically, and rejected applicants are redirected to other open roles. Sovereign deployment (private cloud or on premise, bring your own model) and an EU AI Act compliance programme are rare in this category.
Watch out for: There is no self serve plan or public price, and the vendor puts first go live at 8 to 16 weeks. Scotty now pitches itself as general enterprise agent infrastructure as well as recruiting, and its client base is mostly Dutch and European, so US buyers should ask for local references.
Overview
Scotty AI is an Amsterdam based agentic AI company that started in recruitment and now markets itself as enterprise AI workforce infrastructure. Recruitment is still its lead solution and the source of its client stories, with PostNL, Hunkemöller, Actief Werkt, HEMA and Vodafone Ziggo named as users.
For hiring, Scotty runs the candidate journey from first contact to signed contract. AI agents respond to applicants within a minute over WhatsApp Business, SMS, email, web chat or voice, run structured screening conversations against the role criteria, and book, confirm and reschedule interviews without a recruiter in the loop.
It handles the exceptions that break simpler tools: chasing missing CVs, rescheduling no shows, escalating edge cases to a person with full context. When a candidate is not a fit for one role, it offers them another open role.
Scotty syncs both ways with Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Greenhouse, Oracle Taleo, iCIMS and Lever, and can be deployed in a private cloud, on premise or hybrid, with the customer's choice of language model. It is ISO 27001 certified and built around GDPR and the EU AI Act.
Pricing is not published. Implementation is consulting led rather than self serve, starting with a blueprint of the current hiring process.
