Nova's promise

“Nova does the searching. Nova makes the introductions. Nova never wastes your time.”

How Nova works for you

Three things Nova does, so you don't have to.

01 · The discussion

Nova maps your next career move.

Nova leads a ten-minute discussion about your career goals, what made you good at the work you've done, and what would make the next role the right one. Nova figures out what you actually want before the searching starts — so when a role gets surfaced, you'll see immediately why it fits.

Tell me where you'd like your career to go in the next two years.
Senior PM at a fintech, three years in. I want to own a product line at a smaller company - ideally one shipping something close to the engineering, not pure roadmap politics.
Got it. I'll find teams already shipping in your stack and bring you the relevant roles when they come up.

02 · The market

You decide what's worth your time.

Nova scans every open role across DACH every day — startups, scale-ups, established companies — and emails you when one matches what you told Nova you wanted. No scrolling. No keyword guessing. You read the email and decide whether to look closer. Nova is a neutral party — no fee, no funnel, no pressure to choose one role over another.

A role you should see - Senior PM, Munich climate scale-up

Matches the two things you told me mattered most: closer to engineering, real product ownership. Series A, 28 people, building real hardware. Comp band fits. Want me to walk you through why it fits?

03 · The introductions

Companies ask. You decide.

When a hiring manager in Nova's network wants to meet someone like you, the request arrives through Nova — role, company, comp band, name. You receive it and decide whether the conversation is worth your time. No application form. No recruiter middleman. No screening calls with someone who hasn't read the role.

Built for both modes

Job hunting or not, Nova works for you now.

Some people are dialled into the search. Some are heads-down at work but want to know what they're missing. Nova does the work for both — quietly, and only on your terms.

Active mode

Actively searching?
Nova represents you.

Your professional manager — making sure you stand out to the right people, in the right rooms. You decide. Nova does the legwork.

  1. 1

    Represented, not listed.

    The room is already listening when an introduction lands.

  2. 2

    As fast as the market moves.

    Weekly, every two weeks, or only-the-best — pick the cadence that fits your search.

  3. 3

    Nova handles follow-up.

    Quiet inboxes turn into real conversations with hiring managers in Nova's network.

Passive mode

Not actively searching?
Nova keeps your finger on the pulse.

Heads-down at your current work, but want to know what you're missing? Nova watches quietly, interrupts rarely, and only when it matters.

  1. 1

    Quietly watching the market.

    Open roles across DACH — including ones founders never post publicly.

  2. 2

    Invisible by design.

    No public profile. No signals to your current employer.

  3. 3

    Only worth-it interruptions.

    You stay focused on the work. Nova does the looking in the background.
