About Me

Jeff’ Arnold

I’m Jeff Arnold—automation strategist, entrepreneur, and someone who’s spent the better part of two decades helping businesses stop doing things the hard way. I’ve been building companies since 2000, but it wasn’t until I discovered the power of automation that I truly found my lane. Today, I help growth-minded businesses streamline operations, reduce inefficiencies, and reclaim their time using smart, scalable systems.

As the founder of 4Spot Consulting, I specialize in low-code platforms (like Make.com), designing automations that drive real results—not just dashboards and buzzwords. My clients range from fast-growing startups to well-established teams doing $5M+ in annual revenue, and they all have one thing in common: they’re tired of wasting time on things that should already be handled. My team and I work behind the scenes to eliminate that chaos and build operational engines that just work.

Over the years, I’ve been invited to speak at conferences, contribute to industry panels, and consult for some of the most forward-thinking teams in HR, recruiting, and professional services. I recently published The Automated Recruiter—a book that unpacks the real-world applications of AI and automation in hiring, written for teams that are ready to modernize without getting lost in the tech talk.

At the core of what I do is a simple belief: when your systems are aligned, your people can finally do their best work. And when that happens, your business becomes unstoppable.

With data – all things are possible!
