JazzHR is fine for small companies hiring a few employees a year, but recruitment agencies quickly outgrow it. Ascent provides the specialized agency engine you need.
Unlike JazzHR which forces all confidential candidate resumes to be uploaded to the public cloud, Ascent Desktop is a separate, dedicated offline product. Built specifically for executive search partners, confidential staffing agencies, and recruiters who refuse to take their proprietary talent data online. It operates on your local machine and private LAN with local SQLite encryption and zero internet data leakage.
Migrate your agency candidate talent pool to Ascent in under 15 minutes with zero downtime.
Deliver interactive, passwordless candidate portfolios that clients can review and approve on mobile.
Track recruiter activity, interview conversion ratios, and incentive release payouts.
Automated candidate consent collection with immutable SHA-256 digital proof.
