Slides Don't Show Thinking.
The Q&A Does.
Anyone can build a pretty deck.
NOVA conducts live presentation interviews that probe strategic thinking,
challenge assumptions, and reveal how candidates handle pressure.
Structured rubrics ensure every presenter is evaluated on the same criteria
The best strategic hires aren't the best slide-makers—they're the ones who can defend their thinking under pressure.
Present. Defend. Get Evaluated Fairly.
NOVA, your AI presentation interviewer, hosts live sessions where candidates present their work, answer probing questions, and defend their strategic choices. Every candidate gets the same structured evaluation, regardless of when or where they present.
Structured Rubrics
Define what "great" looks like. NOVA evaluates every candidate against the same criteria—communication, strategic depth, handling of questions.
