Looking for 100% Offline Air-Gapped Privacy? Meet Ascent Desktop.
Unlike JobAdder 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.
