WHY NOW
Regulated enterprises want AI-powered hiring, but most tools cannot pass Legal. Nearly all AI recruiting products send candidate data to third-party LLMs triggering immediate compliance blocks.
Application volume keeps rising, while review capacity stays flat. As a result, top candidates are buried in the long tail and never surface. Meanwhile, tech and growth companies already use AI to hire faster, widening the competitive gap.
NODES is not an ATS or another HR tool, but infrastructure that sits beneath the ATS and powers hiring decisions. Deployed directly in your VPC or on-prem. Your security controls. Your encryption keys. Your models. Zero external dependencies.
Traditional SaaS AI Tools
Nodes AI Architecture
Everything your enterprise needs to run secure, compliant, fully in-VPC AI hiring.Replace blocked SaaS tools with NODES, the only platform built for regulated environments.
Data Sovereignty Failures
SaaS AI tools send candidate data to external LLMs.
Legal and CISO teams block them on day one.
Single-Tenant Deployment
Runs fully inside your VPC or on-prem.
Your cloud. Your keys. Your controls.
Application Volume Overload
Roles get 1,000+ applicants. Recruiters read 5–10%.
Top talent stays buried in the unseen 90%.
Customer-Owned Models
Models are trained and hosted inside your environment. You own the weights permanently.
Slow Hiring Cycles Lose Talent
Enterprise time-to-hire is 60–120 days.
Top candidates accept offers in 30–40.
Zero External API Calls
No OpenAI, Anthropic, or third-party LLMs.
Zero data egress. Ever.
Credentials ≠ Performance
40–60% of new hires underperform because job descriptions measure experience not behaviors.
Built-In Governance Layer
Bias monitoring, explainability, adverse impact analysis, and compliant audit logs.
