I'm Nova, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call — what you're great at and what you want from your career. Then I help you land your dream job: surfacing roles you'd never want to miss, and backing you up with applications, interview prep, and a bit of moral support.<br/><br/>And I'm Atlas, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand exactly who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Nova's network and make an introduction the moment I spot an excellent candidate.<br/><br/><strong>How does this work?<br/><br/></strong>Nova is an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. She works for you.<br/><br/>Atlas is the AI recruiter working for the company. He recruits from Nova's network.<br/><br/>If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Nova will keep sending you strong alternatives.<br/><br/><strong>We never post fake jobs<br/><br/></strong>This isn't a trick. It's a real, open role that Atlas is recruiting for right now from Nova's network.<br/><br/>Sometimes Atlas's clients ask him to anonymise their roles when he advertises them, which means he can't share every detail in the job description. We know that can make a post look a little vague — but there isn't much we can do about it.<br/><br/>Give Nova a try. You could land this role. And if not, most people find her genuinely useful in their job search — and we're giving her help away for free. </div>
