The AI recruiting platform for growing firms
Your Expertise. Amplified by AI.
You already know how to recruit. NLOS makes everything you know go further. Nell, the NLOS Agent, works from your own desk: your ATS data, your emails, your notes, and your judgment.
Click around the platform
A complete operating system, tab by tab.
NLOS works alongside the ATS and hireEZ your firm already uses. It does not replace them. Open a tab to see how Nell preps the work, then you confirm the move.
Your day, laid out.
The custom dashboard is Nell’s home base. Sample figures below show the kind of desk view a recruiter would open in the morning, not live results.
- Active searches in one glance
- Open roles and placements for the month
- Nell Insights ready for your review
Every search on one page.
Search execution stays in your hands. Nell preps the kickoff, the short list, and the next step. You decide what launches.
The right people, already prepped.
AI sourcing and talent discovery feed a list you can trust, tied back to the records in your own ATS.
First touch drafted. You hit send.
Nell drafts outreach from your voice and your book. Nothing is sent, posted, or changed until you confirm the move.
The search is live. First outreach is ready, and a filled search is the win.
Intelligent workflows, trained and ready.
Nell is trained to run the work of a recruiting firm, then pause for you.

Questions firms ask.
What is NLOS, exactly?
NLOS (Next Level Operating System) is a secure, AI powered operating system for recruiting firms. Nell, the NLOS Agent, works over your firm’s own searches and candidates, and does the prep work underneath.
Is NLOS another applicant tracking system?
No. Your ATS stays the system of record. NLOS works over the top of it, and alongside hireEZ, and does the prep work around it: the kickoff packet, the first outreach draft, the next touch, the campaign, the scorecard.
Does NLOS replace recruiters?
No. NLOS does the prep so recruiters spend the day with people. The judgment (the recommendation, the hire, the pitch) stays human, and nothing is sent without approval.
Is our data private?
Yes. Each person’s information stays private and secure, no other user can access it, and your clients and candidates are never training material for anyone else’s model. NLOS runs in its own AWS environment, and each firm’s data is walled off from other firms.
