Sheet A2 · How a search moves

Read. Prep. Ask. Go.

  1. 01

    Read

    Nell reads the intake, your ATS notes and the office playbook. Nothing is rewritten.

  2. 02

    Prep

    She sorts the long list from hireEZ and the sources you license, and drafts the next touch.

  3. 03

    Ask

    Every send, post or record change stops and waits. Edit it, send it back, or approve it.

  4. 04

    Go

    Only then does it go out. You spend the day with people, and Nell stays with the admin.

Sheet A3 · Sign off

Every draft comes with a redline. You hold the pen.

Nell marks up why she wrote what she wrote, so you can check her work in seconds. Try it on this sample note.

To: Maya Chen, COO, Northforge (sample)

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?

  • APublic plant expansion, cited from Predict Leads.
  • BFrom her profile; matches the brief's must have.
  • CYour last three accepted notes asked for 20 minutes.
Nothing is sent until you approve.

General notes

Questions firm owners ask.

What is NLOS, exactly?

NLOS (Next Level Operating System) is the AI solution for recruiting firms in our networks. Nell, the NLOS assistant, is the teammate you talk to: one chat over your firm's own searches and candidates, with the platform underneath doing the work.

Is NLOS sold on its own?

No. NLOS is not a standalone product and it is not SaaS you subscribe to. Your firm joins Sanford Rose Associates (SRA), and NLOS comes with membership, together with the playbooks, training and coaching of the network.

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.

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. NLOS 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.

How do I get NLOS?
