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.
NLOS Agent
Tone matches your last three accepted notes. Personal line cites a public plant expansion from Predict Leads and Firecrawl.

Draft campaign
A short note your market will actually read
Most quality leaders in the Midwest already know the same five firms. Here is how a specialist office talks about a confidential plant search without sounding like everyone else.
Three post options and a landing blurb, written in your voice, waiting for a pass from you.
NLOS Agent
Copy stays in your brand language. Nothing posts until someone in the firm approves it.

Questions firm owners ask.
What is NLOS, exactly?
NLOS (Next Level Operating System) is the AI operating system for a recruiting firm: one chat over your firm’s own searches and candidates, with NLOS Agent and the stack underneath doing the work. Ask in plain words and the answer comes back as the work itself.
Is NLOS another applicant tracking system?
No. Your ATS stays the system of record. NLOS 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 NLOS different from a sourcing tool?
A sourcing tool finds people. NLOS 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 it prepares is about your searches.
Does NLOS replace the recruiter?
No. NLOS Agent does the prep work of a search so the recruiter spends the day with people, and then it 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?
Your firm joins Sanford Rose Associates (SRA), and NLOS comes with membership, together with the playbooks, training and coaching of the network. NLOS is not sold on its own. Talk to us about joining SRA. Already a member? Log in, or ask your coach or network contact.
A more productive recruiter. A stronger firm. More placements.
The next step is a conversation about joining Sanford Rose Associates. Your firm keeps its practice and its method, and NLOS comes with membership.
