Compare it with the tools you'd buy instead
One Growth plan covers a team of 3 for about half of what a single LinkedIn Recruiter Lite seat costs per person.
Competitor prices are illustrative for this mockup, based on published list prices or industry-reported figures. LinkedIn Recruiter Lite lists at $170/month ($1,680/year billed annually).
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.
One licence per recruiter. The whole stack included.
Search firms don't think in credits, so we don't charge in them. You pay a flat annual licence for each recruiter who runs outreach, sized to your team. Everyone else in the firm joins free.

What sets your price
Three inputs. No haggling, no case-by-case pricing: every firm your size pays the same.
- 01
Team size
How many recruiters run outreach. Larger teams unlock lower per-seat pricing, on a curve that stays roughly 2x cheaper than LinkedIn at every size.
- 02
Sourcing alone, or with ATS & CRM
Add the ATS & CRM module to your seats and the bundle lands about 15% below buying the two separately.
- 03
Contract length
12 months at list price. Commit to 24 or 36 months and the price steps down further.
The stack you'd replace
A typical 5-recruiter search firm pays for LinkedIn Recruiter, an ATS, and a CRM separately. Here's the same year with Nova.

Same stack, typically 40–50% cheaper
One system instead of three, and a flat line you can put in the January budget. And the saving is only the first return: add what the freed hours are worth in the business case below.
LinkedIn RPS, Bullhorn, Loxo, and HubSpot figures are illustrative for this mockup, based on published list prices and industry-reported ranges. LinkedIn does not publish RPS pricing.
More than a cheaper bill
The price difference gets us the meeting. The scope difference is why firms switch.
Build your business case
The 40–50% you save on the stack is only half the return. On top of it, manual sourcing takes about 1.5 hours for every 10 candidates you contact, and Nova's agents do the same work in minutes. This is what those hours are worth to your firm.
Sourcing manually takes ~1.5 hours per 10 candidates contacted. With Nova it takes ~1 hour per mandate plus 5 minutes per 10 candidates. Recruiter cost fully loaded at €27/hour.

This return comes on top of the 40–50% you save on the software stack itself.
Pay for hiring, not for seats
Scaleups and corporates pay for what they use: credits. 1 credit = 1 candidate contacted. Seats are unlimited, so the whole company works in Nova, and hiring managers send their own outreach with reply rates recruiters alone can't match.
Usage-based, with volume pricing
Your quote is built on the credits you'll actually use in a year. The more credits you commit to, the lower your price per credit, unused credits roll over to the next year when you renew, and renewal increases are capped at 5%. No per-seat fees, ever.
The whole company on board
Unlimited seats for recruiters, sourcers, and hiring managers. And when the outreach comes from the hiring manager instead of a recruiter, candidates reply even more.
Enterprise-grade from day one
SSO, security review, and a DPA included. GDPR compliant, aligned with the EU AI Act, ISO 27001 certification underway, plus dedicated customer success and onboarding.
Estimate your credits
Determine how many credits you need to get a price. Two sliders and you have the number your quote is built on.
Most teams contact somewhere between 50 and 300 candidates per role, depending on seniority and market. 1 credit = 1 candidate contacted or exported, regardless of message volume, and unused credits roll over to the next year when you renew.
Estimated credits per year

The more credits you commit to, the lower your price per credit. Your quote comes back within two business days.
Against the incumbent
For a comparable workflow, Nova Recruiter typically lands at about half the cost of LinkedIn Recruiter. The workflow itself is where the gap really opens.
LinkedIn Recruiter Corporate pricing is quote-only; figures are illustrative for this mockup, based on industry-reported renewal quotes.
Build your business case
Manual sourcing takes about 1.5 hours for every 10 candidates you contact. Nova's agents need about an hour per search. Two sliders show what that means for your hiring plan.
Sourcing manually takes ~1.5 hours per 10 candidates contacted. With Nova it takes ~1 hour per search plus 5 minutes per 10 candidates. Value per hour: €27 of fully loaded recruiter cost plus €41 of time-to-hire opportunity cost from vacancies staying open.

Frequently asked questions
Plans & credits
What exactly is a credit?
1 credit = 1 candidate contacted through a campaign or exported, no matter how many messages, follow-ups, or channels you use with them. Searching, filtering, and building shortlists never consume credits. On enterprise plans, unused credits roll over to the next year when you renew.
Is usage really unlimited on agency plans?
Yes. There are no credits and no counter in the product, and we will never send you a surprise invoice. The licence covers each recruiter's normal professional use; if your volume grows a lot, the only conversation is at renewal.
Can we start self-serve and move to an agency or enterprise plan later?
Yes, and it's the most common path. Start on Growth, and when you hire your third recruiter or need the ATS & CRM module, your history, shortlists, and campaigns move with you to the new plan.
Integrations, security & billing
Do we need to integrate Nova Recruiter with our ATS?
No integration to set up: the agency plans include Nova's own ATS and CRM, built for search firms, and candidates you source and contact in Nova sync straight into the pipeline. Migration from your current ATS is free.
How do you handle data protection and compliance?
Nova Recruiter is GDPR compliant, aligned with the EU AI Act, and runs on EU-based infrastructure, with ISO 27001 certification underway. A DPA is available for every paid plan, and enterprise customers go through our standard security review with SSO support.
How does billing work on each model?
Self-serve plans bill monthly by card and you can cancel anytime. Agency and enterprise plans are annual contracts billed by invoice, with multi-year discounts available. Every renewal, agency and enterprise alike, is capped at a 5% increase, in writing.
