Your ATS stays put
Crelate, PCRecruiter and the rest remain the record. I read what I need, then write back only when a person approves the work.
Meet Nell
Less admin. More conversations. More placements.
I'm Nell, the NLOS assistant. I'm AI, and a person approves what goes out. I do the prep work of a search in plain view, then I wait. You approve the draft, the next touch, the client update. Nothing goes out until you say so.
NLOS is not sold on its own. Firms join SRA to get Nell. Already using NLOS? Log in

The story
I work in the open. Then I ask.
Nell is not a black box and not a standalone product. She is the AI solution inside NLOS, and firms get her by joining SRA. Here is how a search feels when she is on the desk.

I prep the work
I read the intake, sort the long list from hireEZ and the other sources you already use, and draft the first note from your own method.

You approve it
Every send, post or change waits for a person. Edit anything. Send it back. I will wait. Your judgment stays in charge.

Then it goes out
You spend the day with people. I stay with the admin. That is where placements come from, and I do not get ahead of you.
What Nell does
A tour of the work I take off your desk.
Open a tab and watch a sample. This is Nell running the practice, not a pitch deck. Join SRA and she works on your searches the same way.

Nell
Found 12 people from hireEZ, ZoomInfo and Exa against your brief. Off limits flags are already applied. Ready for you to shortlist.
Draft waiting for you
First note to Maya Chen
Maya, I lead the search for a VP Operations at a Midwest manufacturer that is adding a second plant next year. Your run at Northforge, especially the line redesign in 2024, is the kind of work they want to talk about.
Would a 20 minute call next week be useful? Nothing is sent until you approve.
Nell
I matched the tone of your last three accepted notes. The personal line cites a public plant expansion from Predict Leads and Firecrawl. I will not send this until you say so.

Nell
This is context from your brief and licensed sources, not a score I invented to impress you. I show my work so you can take the call.
Your systems stay put
I work alongside your ATS and hireEZ. I never replace them.
Your ATS stays the system of record. hireEZ, ZoomInfo and the rest keep feeding the desk. I sit on top and do the prep. Nothing is rewritten and nothing is replaced.
hireEZ still sources
Licensed sources such as hireEZ and ZoomInfo keep doing what they do. I rank, draft and track against your brief, with off limits flags already applied.
You stay in charge
Every send, post or change waits. The recommendation, the hire and the pitch stay human. I stop and ask.

Questions firm owners ask.
Who is Nell?
Nell is the AI recruiting partner inside NLOS, the Next Level Operating System. She is the teammate you talk to: one chat over your firm’s own searches and candidates, with the stack underneath doing the work. She prepares the work, shows her steps, and waits for you.
Is NLOS sold on its own?
No. NLOS is not sold as a standalone product. It is the AI solution for firms in the network. Talk to us about joining SRA. Membership is how a firm gets access to Nell and the rest of the platform. Offices already in a partner network can ask their coach, or log in if they already have access.
Is Nell another applicant tracking system?
No. Your ATS stays the system of record. Nell reads it without rewriting it, then does the prep work around it: the kickoff packet, the first outreach draft, the next touch, the campaign, the scorecard.
How is Nell different from a sourcing tool?
A sourcing tool finds people. Nell runs the practice. Sourcing is one workflow, through licensed sources such as hireEZ and ZoomInfo. Underneath, NLOS carries your firm’s method and your office’s data, so the work she prepares is about your searches.
Does Nell replace the recruiter?
No. Nell does the prep work of a search so the recruiter spends the day with people, and then she stops. Drafts wait for a person. The recommendation, the hire and the pitch stay human.
What happens to our website, LinkedIn and ATS?
Nothing is replaced and nothing is rewritten. Nell works over the top of the systems you already run. Connections are per person and read only what they need. Two way ATS work with Crelate and PCRecruiter happens through hireEZ.
Are our calls recorded? Who owns the data?
No recordings. Where a phone connection is used, NLOS reads that a call happened, when, and for how long: never recordings, voicemail or texts. What NLOS holds belongs to your office. Data is private per firm.
Join SRA, and Nell comes with it.
Talk to us about bringing your firm into the network. Nell will work on your searches the same way she works in this sample: in the open, then she asks.
