Auto-Disable System

How Nova's auto-disable feature helps manage costs and job activity.

🎯 Cost Control Made Simple

License Expiry: Jobs auto-disable when licenses expire (30/90/365 days)
Inactivity Monitoring: Jobs pause after 30 days without applications
Easy Re-enable: One-click restore from your dashboard anytime

Nova's auto-disable system helps manage costs by automatically pausing jobs that are no longer active, ensuring you only pay for what you're actively using.

Why Auto-Disable?

Prevents charges for inactive jobs

  • Automatically stops billing for dormant positions
  • Reduces unexpected usage spikes
  • Helps stay within budget limits

Keeps your job list organized

  • Removes Nova from filled positions
  • Clears out old job postings automatically
  • Maintains focus on active recruitment

Clear billing visibility

  • Real-time usage updates
  • Clear disable reasons and dates
  • Immediate billing impact visibility

Types of Auto-Disable

How it works:

  • Each job gets a license when Nova is enabled
  • Duration based on your plan's billing cycle (30/90/365 days)
  • Jobs auto-disable when licenses expire
  • Prevents ongoing charges after license periods end

Re-enabling:

  • Click "Re-enable" from your dashboard
  • Starts a new license period immediately
  • All previous data is preserved

How it works:

  • Nova tracks application processing for each job
