We're building the future
of technical hiring

SkillNova was founded in 2023 by engineers and recruiters who believed the hiring process was fundamentally broken. We set out to fix it.

Our values

Accuracy over speed

We build AI that is precise, not just fast. A wrong hire costs companies 30% of annual salary.

Fairness by design

Every algorithm we ship goes through bias auditing. Technical hiring should be a meritocracy.

Builder-first

We are engineers who were screened poorly and recruiters who hired wrong. We built the tool we wished we had.
