Built for recruiters. Inside your ATS.
The AI infrastructure
for recruiting at its best
AI that reads a job description and guesses isn't good enough. Nova's agent works with you and your hiring manager to define what good looks like for each role, then scores every applicant, resurfaces candidates you already have, finds new ones, and flags fraud. No black boxes. Inside your ATS.

From intake to shortlist without prompt engineering your criteria
Most “AI screening” guesses from a JD and hides the why. Nova starts with the hiring manager intake and turns it into locked, shared criteria — what “good” looks like, what’s a deal‑breaker — then applies it everywhere. You get consistent, explainable scores you can stand behind.
- ✓ Led 0→1 feature from spec to launch
- ✓ 5+ years production Python
- △ Limited experience in B2B SaaS
Share this view with the hiring manager for quick calibration. Lock the criteria when aligned.
500+ applicants
Agree on what “good” looks like.
Turn the kickoff into structured criteria: must‑haves, nice‑to‑haves, and deal‑breakers. Informed by your past hires and peer company patterns.
Calibrate on real candidates.
Score a small sample, share a quick Agree/Disagree link with the hiring manager, iterate to fairness, then lock the criteria.
Prioritize the right 10%.
Every new applicant is scored in your ATS against the criteria with per‑criterion evidence and tags. No black boxes.
Evidence you can defend.
See strengths, risks, and cited resume snippets for every score. Paste into notes and debriefs with confidence.
Not every 10/10 resume is what it seems.
Fabricated resumes score well. Nova catches what scoring alone can’t, so your team moves faster on candidates they can trust.

How we calculate your savings
Based on typical recruiter workflows, we estimate that manual CV review takes 2.5 minutes per candidate, while Nova-assisted review takes just 1.2 minutes.
With Nova ranking and filtering candidates, you typically only need to review the top 15 CVs instead of all 200 applicants per role.
At an average recruiter salary of €4,000/month, this translates to significant time and cost savings that compound across your hiring pipeline.
