"Nova Recruiter is enabling us reach out to high-caliber candidates more effectively than LinkedIn Recruiter. It’s like having a modern sales tool with multi-channel sequences, applied to recruiting."
Avinash Sukhwani, Co-founder at Payflow (YC S21)
"As an early-stage founder I can't afford an average-quality hire: we only recruit A-players. With Nova Recruiter, we're, hiring people who normally wouldn't even look at a company our size."
Pablo Omenaca, Co-founder at Karumi (YC F25)
"We used to drown in back-and-forth emails, missed follow-ups, and candidates falling through the cracks. With Nova Recruiter, every step of the process is clear, nothing slips, and we've cut our time-to-hire in half."
Alessandra Cestaro, Founder & CEO at Holifya
"Before Nova Recruiter, every hiring round felt like a race against the clock. Now the workflow runs on its own. Our team just steps in at the moments that actually matter"
Giorgio Tinacci, Founder & CEO at Casavo
"Nova Recruiter let us find and reach out to great candidates in minutes. We saved over 20 hours of work compared to LinkedIn Recruiter Lite and got better candidates"
Ignacio Zaera, Co-founder at Simpling
"I'm a founder, not a recruiter. Nova automates all the sourcing and outreach for me, and I just focus on convincing top candidates in interviews. It's like having a recruiter working for me in the background"
Juan Montero, Co-founder at Fence
"We used to spend most of our time sourcing: applying filters, reviewing profiles, sending messages and reminders ... with Nova Recruiter, we now spend most of it convincing the best candidates to join us"
Maite Abad, VP of People at Mscope
"Our team was buried in spreadsheets, manually tracking every candidate and chasing follow-ups. Now our pipeline runs itself, we can finally focus on building real relationships with the people we want to hire."
Mario Parteli, Co-founder & Co-CEO at Volta Software
"I opened Nova Recruiter once and I've been running it from Claude Code ever since.
It's 10x or 100x better than LinkedIn Recruiter in both speed and quality"
Jaime Medina, Co-founder at TSCFO

Is Nova Recruiter replacing recruiters?
No. It reduces manual, repetitive sourcing work but always keeps a human in the loop. You decide what the AI handles and where your judgement adds value.
Is Nova Recruiter an ATS?
No. It's a sourcing and outreach platform. It complements your ATS and integrates with it.
Where does candidate data come from?
From publicly available data, licensed data partners, the Nova Talent community, and proprietary enrichment pipelines.
How frequently is data updated?
Core fields like experience, education, and skills are refreshed regularly (weekly or monthly depending on the data source).

Is Nova Recruiter GDPR compliant?
Yes. We process public data under legitimate interest for professional recruiting, and provide full transparency, minimisation, and opt-out mechanisms.
What is “merit-based intelligence”?
Our AI evaluates a candidate’s track record, achievements, and potential, not just keywords. It weighs experience differently depending on company selectiveness, role difficulty, performance signals, and progression.
How does Nova help me save up to 98% of sourcing time?
With a combination of:
1) A proprietary search engine with merit-based intelligence, so that searches deliver more relevant profiles.
2) 2-3x higher reply rates thanks to multi-channel, automated sequences.
3) AI agents that automate the workflow end-to-end, from helping you define the search, to shortlisting candidates, crafting messages and replying to them so that candidates take the action you want (apply on your ATS, book a meeting in your calendar, etc.).
How do you raise reply rates by 2–3x?
By applying modern outbound strategies:
- Multistep sequences
- Multichannel outreach (Email, Nova, and LinkedIn)
- AI-driven personalisation
- Smart timing and deliverability rules
This ensures candidates are more likely to see your messages and respond.
Can I personalise outreach at scale?
Yes. You can use variables or AI-generated personalised lines for each candidate.
Does Nova Recruiter integrate with ATS systems?
Yes. We integrate with popular ATS platforms and can build custom integrations via API.
Do you integrate with email systems?
Yes: Gmail and Outlook can be connected for outreach and tracking.
Is MCP access available?
Yes, you can use Nova Recruiter without even entering the interface and run searches and campaigns from your favorite AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.).
Do you sign a Data Processing Agreement (DPA)?
Yes. Our Privacy Policy complies with GDPR Art. 28. and we sign DPAs with customers who require it.
Where is data stored?
In secure EU-based cloud infrastructure.
Do you have a security incident response protocol?
Yes. We follow a documented process with clear timelines for detection, escalation, notification, and remediation.
Are candidates informed about outreach?
Yes. All communications identify your company and purpose clearly.
