The problem

Candidate data drifts. Context disappears. The desk slows down.

CVs land in inboxes and shared drives. Notes sit in threads. Mandates live in spreadsheets. Recruiters rebuild the same picture for every shortlist — and still miss the thread that mattered last week.

NorthlineOS focuses on what is live today: structured intake, persisted matching, recruiter decisions, and an activity record you can search — without claiming integrations or inbox sync in this release.

  • One workspace for open mandates and the candidate book.
  • CV classification, parsing, and profile extraction you can review.
  • Persisted match rows with score, band, and rationale.
  • Notes, status moves, and workflow events in one ledger.

Fragmented candidate data

CVs, notes, and client feedback live in different tools. No single record the whole team reads before a shortlist.

Lost context between recruiters

When ownership shifts or someone is out, the next person rebuilds the story from scratch — risking mistakes and delay.

Passive ATS databases

Traditional systems archive files instead of running the mandate book alongside live candidates.

Disconnected AI tools

One-off summaries and chat outputs rarely attach to roles, stages, or an audit trail the partnership can trust.

Lack of operational accountability

Without a shared ledger of material actions, it is hard to explain what changed, when, and on whose instruction.
