The problem

Recruiters present candidates to clients with profile packages that include headshots. Inconsistent, amateurish backgrounds on candidate photos undermine the professional presentation. And processing candidate photos on cloud tools raises data handling questions.

The NSS solution

NSS processes candidate and team headshots in the browser — no candidate data leaves your device. Export consistent, professional backgrounds that elevate your candidate presentations.
