Getting to know Scoutify
I am a customer — where do I log in?
The application lives at app.scoutify.fr, and the "Log in" button at the top of every page of this site takes you there. The link you received by email when your account was opened is used once, to set your password: after that, you log in with your email address and that password. Forgotten it? The "Forgot password" link on the login page sends you a new one.
Open the appWhat is Scoutify?
Scoutify is recruitment software for football. It brings together a filterable player database, a compatibility score between a player and a recruitment need, position-by-position recruitment plans, observation reports, and a network that runs both ways: clubs publish their recruitment needs there and agencies and independent recruiters answer with their players; agencies and independent recruiters publish the needs of the clubs that mandate them there and offer the players of their portfolio, and clubs register their interest.
Is Scoutify scouting software or recruitment software?
Both, and that is not a turn of phrase: scouting and recruitment are two moments of the same chain, and Scoutify holds them together. On the scouting side, observation reports in three steps — Before, During, After — whose "During" phase is written live at the ground on mobile. On the recruitment side, a filterable player database, tracked needs, a player ↔ need compatibility score and position-by-position recruitment plans. One thing worth knowing: the observation module is open to clubs and independent recruiters, not to agencies.
Do you have to install software to use Scoutify?
No. Scoutify is a web application: it opens in a browser, from any machine, and there is nothing to deploy or update. On a phone it installs like an app, and the screens designed for the field — writing an observation report during a match — are built for mobile use.
Is Scoutify only for football?
It is built for football, and it shows everywhere: positions, formations, competitions and referentials are football ones. The network connects football clubs, agencies and recruiters. If you work in another sport, write to us: the structure of the tool lends itself to it, but we would rather talk it through than let you find out during the trial.
Who is Scoutify for?
Three kinds of organizations, each with its own screens and pricing: agencies and player agents, who manage a portfolio, answer published needs, offer their players to the network and publish the needs of the clubs that mandate them; clubs, who manage a squad, state recruitment needs, publish them and receive the players proposed to them; and independent recruiters, who work on assignment for clubs, browse the network, answer on it, and, like agencies, publish the needs of the clubs that mandate them and offer the players of their portfolio.
Who built Scoutify?
Scoutify was built by a player agent for his own agency, and used for three years in the field before opening up to other organizations. That is what explains the shape of the product: it comes from daily use, not from a market study.
Do you have to be a professional club to use Scoutify?
No. Scoutify sets no condition on division or status: the positions, criteria and needs are the ones you define. Which features are open depends on the type of organization — club, agency or independent recruiter — not on the level it plays at.
How much does Scoutify cost?
The Agent plan and the Independent recruiter plan are €50 per month, the Club plan €400 per month. Annual billing charges ten months, so two months are free. Options are billed on top depending on the plan: extra users, cloud storage, unlimited players and needs, task management.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, ten days free, no commitment.
The network: publishing a need, offering a player
How does a club find players on Scoutify?
In two ways. It publishes its recruitment need to the network from the need page, with a single switch: there is no title to write, and both message and deadline are optional. The need then appears in the opportunity feed of agencies and independent recruiters, who answer with their players, and every proposal comes back to the club scored against the club's own criteria. And the club also receives, without publishing anything, the players agencies and independent recruiters offer to the network.
Can an agency offer a player from its portfolio to the network?
Yes. A player agency offers to the network a player it is trying to place, and every organization on the network sees him. The player goes out masked: no salary, no salary expectations, no phone numbers, no emails, no internal note. Each club then sees on the card how many of its own recruitment needs that player fits, and can say he interests it by attaching one of them.
Can an agency publish the need of a club it represents?
Yes. An agency that a club mandates publishes that club's need exactly as the club itself would, choosing to name the club or to show only its league — its own agency stays named either way. If a very similar need — same club, at least one position in common — is already published by another organization, Scoutify says so at publishing time; it never refuses the publication.
Can an independent recruiter publish to the network?
Yes. They publish the needs of the clubs that hire them and offer the players of their portfolio to the network, just like an agency. They also read the feed of published needs and answer it with their players. When a need they publish overlaps another organization's — same club, at least one shared position — Scoutify warns them, and never refuses the publication.
Who sees what of a publication?
What the network sees is set publication by publication, on two levels: the club concerned named, or not. Not naming it means its name and crest do not go out — only its league shows, and that league is always the one of the club concerned (the club the need originates from, or the player's current club), never the sender's. A club publishing its own need is hidden along with it: no name, no logo. An agency or an independent recruiter stays named either way — what they protect is the club they are searching for, not themselves. The content itself goes out in full: positions, age range, criteria — that is what lets the other side compute compatibility.
Is a partnership required to see what is published?
No. Everything published is visible to all relevant members: no targeting, no prior matchmaking, no partnership to negotiate. Each card in the feed already shows the count that concerns you — "N of your players match" on a published need, "this player fits N of your needs" on an offered player.
What happens when a club shortlists a proposal?
Shortlisting is the moment of contact. A club that shortlists a proposal reveals its identity to the sender, even if it had published masked, and gets their contact details; the proposed player enters its received resources and can be imported into its database. The other way round, an agency or an independent recruiter that shortlists a club's interest opens access to the player's page and their contact details for that club — their name was already shown: a player listing is always identified. In both cases what opens is access and contact: the player's salary, salary expectations, contacts and internal note stay masked, including after shortlisting.
Can you chat with the other party inside Scoutify?
No, there is no in-app messaging. When a proposal or an interest is shortlisted, the other organization's contact details are revealed and the conversation continues by email or phone. That is a choice: getting in touch stays an explicit move.
Can a need be shared outside Scoutify?
Yes. A published need can go out as public links labelled per channel — LinkedIn, WhatsApp, email — each counting its own views and answers, with a QR code and individual revocation, plus a PDF ready to attach. An agent or recruiter without an account can answer through a public form, their email address being verified by double opt-in. Public links exist for published needs, not for players offered to the network.
Where do the players and needs a partner shares with us land?
In the Opportunities screen, under "Shared with me", and not mixed in with your own players and your own needs. Sharing between partners and the network are two different moves — one is one-to-one and requires a partnership, the other broadcasts to the whole network — but both bring you something that is not yours, and that is what puts them in the same place. A received resource still counts in your compatibility calculations.
Features
How does the compatibility score work?
Scoutify compares a player's characteristics to the criteria of a recruitment need and derives a percentage. The criteria are configurable: you set the weight of each one and its tolerance margin. On a proposal received by a club, two scores coexist — the sender's, computed with their criteria, and the club's, recalculated with its own. The second is the one that stands, and it opens up criterion by criterion.
Does Scoutify calculate whether a transfer is feasible?
No, and that is deliberate. Feasibility is set by hand, on four levels — Reachable, Negotiable, Difficult, Out of reach. The raw signals (current club, contract end, salary, player expectations) are displayed alongside, never aggregated into a single index: you make the call, with what you know about the case.
What is a recruitment plan?
A recruitment plan sets out, position by position, your candidates ranked by priority, each with its feasibility. It is shareable as a PDF or via a public link, section by section, and it can carry a client club when produced under an assignment. Recruitment plans are open to clubs and independent recruiters alike.
Can an observation report be written from the ground?
Yes. An observation report is structured in three stages — Before, During, After — and the "During" stage is built to be filled in live at the ground, on mobile. A report links both ways to a recruitment plan.
Does Scoutify provide player statistics?
Yes, but only for players referenced in the API-Football database: performance radars, career statistics, duels, discipline. A player you enter by hand has none — they carry the information you put in, including video links and documents.
Can you manage a squad and line-ups?
Yes, on the club side. The squad fits on a single screen, with the team rail, grouped players and unassigned ones. Line-ups are interactive, across six formations and several teams, and are shared as a PDF or via a link. The roster can be imported from API-Football and re-imported at every transfer window.
Can you run a trial day?
Yes, on the club side. You compose your own registration form, publish it behind a public link, and track registrations on a summary with "shortlisted" and "discarded" statuses, exportable as CSV.
Account, data and everyday use
Does Scoutify work on mobile?
Yes. The web application installs on a phone like an app, and the screens designed for the field — writing an observation report during a match, in particular — are built for mobile use.
Is Scoutify available in other languages?
Yes. The interface comes in French, English and Italian, and is switched from your account.
Can you manage a men's and a women's section?
Yes. The two universes are kept apart: squads, needs, players and recruitment plans of one never show up in the other, and you switch between them from a selector. An organization with only one section sees nothing of that mechanism.
Who can see my organization's data?
Nobody outside your organization, by construction: data is partitioned per customer. What goes out, you decide explicitly, move by move — publishing a need, offering a player, answering a publication, sharing a page with a partner, opening a share link. And what goes out goes out masked: a player's salary, salary expectations, phone numbers, emails and internal note never leave, including after a shortlisting. An agency's own indicators stay private: no club gets to see your shortlist rate or your response times.
Can several people use the same account?
Yes. Each plan includes a number of users — one for the agent and the independent recruiter, five for the club — and extra users are added as an option. Permissions are set per domain: players, needs, clubs, agencies, scouting, trial days.
Can documents be attached to a player?
Yes: images and PDFs, up to 10 MB per file, attachable to players and clubs alike. Storage is isolated per organization, and extra volume is available as an option.
