What recruiting teams say
-
“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 -
“Nova Recruiter is enabling us to find and reach out to high-caliber candidates more effectively than LinkedIn or Juicebox. The merit-based scoring makes the tool unique when you really need world class talent.”
Josep Mingot , Prosper AI (YC S2023) -
“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 -
“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) -
“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 -
“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 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 -
“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 -
“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

Everything you wanted to know
1. About the Product
What is Nova Recruiter?
An AI-native platform built for headhunting agencies and recruiting teams: search 800M+ public profiles in plain language, screen and rank every match, and run multi-channel outreach, all from one workspace.
Who is Nova Recruiter built for?
Agencies running searches for multiple clients at once, and in-house recruiting teams coordinating several open roles at the same time. See Built For for details on each.
How is Nova Recruiter different from a normal ATS?
It combines AI-powered sourcing across 800M+ profiles, automatic multi-channel outreach, and a native ATS/CRM with 100+ two-way integrations, instead of stitching together separate sourcing, outreach, and tracking tools.
2. Data & Candidate Profiles
How many candidate profiles can I search?
800M+ public profiles from day one, ranked using Nova's proprietary merit-based Talent Score.
How many results does a typical search return?
A well-configured search typically returns 100–500 qualified results: enough to build a real shortlist, not just fill a single role.
What is Talent Score, and how is it different from Match Score?
Talent Score is Nova's own quality signal, built on 150,000+ assessments from its recruiter network. Match Score measures how well a candidate fits one specific search. You can sort by either, or by a blended Relevance score.
3. Features & Capabilities
Can I search using plain language instead of filters?
Yes. Describe the role like you'd explain it to a colleague, and AI screens and ranks matches against your criteria; a full filter builder is also available.
Does Nova Recruiter include its own network of candidates?
Yes. 25,000+ pre-vetted candidates from Nova's own network, already assessed once, are searchable alongside the public database.
Can I set up automatic outreach sequences?
Yes. Build multi-channel sequences across LinkedIn, Email, InMail, and Nova in any order, with AI-personalized messages previewed before anything sends, and every reply lands in one unified inbox.
4. Deliverability & Response Rates
How much does Automatic Outreach improve reply rates?
Multi-channel sequences across LinkedIn, Email, InMail, and Nova typically get 2–3x higher reply rates than single-channel outreach.
Can I control which channel goes out first?
Yes. Any channel can lead, whether LinkedIn, Email, InMail, or Nova, and you set the days between each touchpoint yourself.
Can I send a sequence from someone else's account, like a hiring manager's?
Yes. The same sequence can go out under a hiring manager's name and inbox instead of the recruiter's, which tends to lift reply rates on senior and technical roles.
5. Integrations & Workflow
Does Nova Recruiter integrate with my existing ATS?
Yes. Two-way sync with 100+ ATS platforms, each custom-built by Nova, plus Nova's own native ATS & CRM if you don't already have one.
Can I use Nova Recruiter from Claude, ChatGPT, or another AI assistant?
Yes, via Nova Recruiter MCP. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Slack, or dev tools like Cursor, and run searches, shortlists, and outreach campaigns straight from chat. Available on paid plans.
How many team members can I add?
1 on Free and Starter, 3 on Growth, and a custom number on Enterprise.
6. Compliance, Security & Legal
Is Nova Recruiter GDPR compliant?
Yes. Public data is processed under legitimate interest, with full transparency and instant opt-out for candidates.
Where is my data stored?
Exclusively in secure, EU-based cloud infrastructure, with no cross-border transfers.
Does Nova Recruiter sign a DPA?
Yes, with every customer that requires one, at no extra cost. Nova Recruiter is also aligned with the EU AI Act and is pursuing ISO 27001 certification.
