NLOS does the prep
The packet, the outreach draft and the next step, built from your firm’s own history and method.
You make the call
Drafts wait for you. Nothing is sent, posted or changed in your systems without a person approving it.
- It’s not another applicant tracking system.
- It’s not a chatbot bolted onto one.
- It is the system where your practices, data and agents meet.

Exactly what NLOS touches.
One rule everywhere: NLOS reads, NLOS drafts, and a person approves anything that leaves.
Reads
Only what each connection needs. Each person connects their own accounts.
Creates
Drafts, packets, plans and boards inside NLOS.
Updates
Never rewrites your ATS, mail, calendar or phone records.
Sends
Only after a person approves. Drafts wait for you.
| Connection | NLOS reads | NLOS creates, for your approval | Changes your system? | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Your ATS | Your firm’s own searches and candidates | Kickoff packets, job orders and candidate profiles | No. Your ATS stays the system of record. | Planned |
| Mail and calendar | Senders, subjects, times and who was in each meeting. Never message bodies or attachments. | Outreach drafts and next touches | No. Mail goes out only when you send it. | Planned |
| Phone calls | Who you called, when, and for how long. Never recordings, voicemail or texts. | Follow ups on your to do list | No | Planned |
| Sourcing | New candidates for a search | Candidates delivered to your desk | No | Planned |

Questions recruiters ask.
What is NLOS, exactly?
NLOS (Next Level Operating System) is the operating system for a recruiting firm: one chat over your firm’s own searches and candidates, with the NLOS stack underneath doing the work. Ask in plain words and the answer comes back as the work itself: who is waiting on you, where a search stands, the next touch already drafted.
Is NLOS another applicant tracking system?
No. Your ATS (PCR, Crelate, Loxo, Top Echelon and Big Biller are the ones our offices run) stays the system of record. NLOS reads it without rewriting it.
An ATS stores the record. NLOS does the prep work around it: the kickoff packet, the first outreach draft, the next touch, the campaign, the scorecard.
How is NLOS different from hireEZ?
hireEZ is a sourcing tool: it finds people. NLOS runs the whole practice. Sourcing is one thing it does, through a connection that brings new candidates for a search to you.
Underneath, NLOS carries your firm’s method, your office’s data and the network’s playbooks, so the work it prepares is about your searches, not a generic database.
What are NLOS-R, NLOS-O, NLOS-M and NLOS-E?
Four modules of one system, not four products: Recruiting, Operations, Marcom and Education. The platform starts from five roles: Recruiter, Biz Dev, Marcom, Finance and Ops. Each role opens into the room where its work lives.
Does NLOS replace the recruiter?
No. NLOS does the prep work of a search so the recruiter spends the day with people, and then it stops. Drafts wait for a person; nothing is sent, posted or changed without approval.
The judgment (the recommendation, the hire, the pitch) stays human. That is the design.
What happens to our website, LinkedIn and ATS?
Nothing is replaced and nothing is rewritten. NLOS reads the systems you run on and works over the top of them. Connections are per person and read only what they need.
Are our calls and conversations recorded? Who owns them?
No recordings. The phone connection reads that a call happened, when, and for how long: never recordings, voicemail or texts. Mail and calendar never read message bodies or attachments.
What NLOS holds belongs to your office.
How does an office get access?
Through Starfish Partners, Sanford Rose Associates (SRA) or Dimensional Search (DS). NLOS is not sold as a standalone product. Already in the network? Ask your coach or network contact. Considering it? Request access below or explore the networks above.
