📋 Non-TLDR - the role, unfiltered

🧠 About Nova

Nova is an AI-powered recruitment co-pilot — not just another flashy HR tool or shitty chatbot, but something that is actually focused embedding specialised AI deliberately in existing workflows. We help talent teams manage overwhelming inbound, and rediscover amazing candidates already sitting in their ATS.

We automatically evaluate and rank applicants based on real, verifiable criteria — so hiring teams can move faster and smarter without significantly changing their current workflow.

We’re backed, moving fast, and already working with great teams like SKIMS. Time-to-fill is dropping, hiring is getting smarter, and now we want to crank things up with bizdev.

That’s where you come in:

We’re looking for someone scrappy, creative, and genuinely excited to build things from scratch — to take full ownership of our outbound motion and get more of the right people in the room with us. You don’t need to close deals (founds have got that for now). Your task is to fill our calendar with quality convos.
