Jack on finding talent he never would have discovered anywhere else and why NOVA is the resource the industry has always needed.

“Everyone I Know Definitely Uses NOVA”

That’s not an exaggeration from Jack, it’s just how deep NOVA runs in his network at this point. “I found a lot of talent on NOVA that I would have never discovered anywhere else,” he says. “It’s incomparable to how important the platform is in terms of vetting people and being able to actually get recommendations for people that are really, really good at what they do.”

Vetting Changes Everything

For a director hiring crew after crew, the bottleneck has never been finding people. It’s finding the right people, fast, without gambling on someone’s reel. Jack points to NOVA’s vetting as the thing that actually solves that. “It streamlines the process, makes it easier.”

Mutual Connections, Made Useful

Jack also called out something that’s become core to how NOVA works: seeing the real connections behind a potential hire. “Seeing the mutual connections that people have with each other, it just makes everything so much more efficient.” That’s exactly what NOVA’s Shared Network is built for, turning who-knows-who into something you can actually act on before you hire.

“We Always Wished Existed”

Jack put it simply: “There’s not a resource like this. And it’s something that people that do this type of work, something that we always wished existed.”
