Nova Recruiter is an AI-powered sourcing and candidate-engagement platform that gives recruiters and headhunters access to a database of more than 800 million public professional profiles. Its AI agents identify best-fit candidates, personalise outreach at scale, and keep conversations warm so pipelines stay full without hours of manual sourcing. After a December 2025 beta, Nova entered full public launch in April 2026 and hit $200K ARR within its first eight weeks — a signal of strong demand from agencies and in-house talent teams. Recruiters use Nova to compress the top of the funnel, replacing scattered sourcing tools with a single AI-native workspace for finding and engaging talent.
