Nova
Nova Partner Programme

Grow your business with Nova.

Nova is the Arabic-native, GCC-calibrated psychometric assessment suite. Our partner programme lets you bring proven science to your clients, and grow your revenue doing it.

5 validated instruments
Why partner with Nova

Your clients are making Saudi and Gulf talent decisions with instruments designed for other populations. Nova gives you a credible regional alternative, and a programme built to reward you for bringing it to them.

01

Proven science

Five validated instruments covering personality, cognitive ability, competency, situational judgement and emotional intelligence, with BPS-aligned methodology and published reliability and validity evidence.

02

Arabic-first platform

A candidate and administrator experience designed natively in Arabic and English, not adapted after the fact. Items developed in both languages in parallel, with language-appropriate norms.

03

Regional market fit

Purpose-built for GCC hiring practices, Vision 2030 competency alignment and local compliance, including in-Kingdom data residency under the Personal Data Protection Law.

04

Built to grow with you

Clear tiers, fair rewards and dedicated support as your client base expands, backed by Tharwah, a talent solutions firm listed on the Saudi Exchange.

Ways to partner

Two ways to work with Nova

Whether you deliver assessments yourself or simply know the clients who need them, there is a route that fits.

Route one

Resell

Become an accredited Nova partner. Sell, deliver and support Nova assessments under your own client relationships.

  • Earn margin on every assessment you deliver
  • Full certification and training for your team
  • Your client relationship, backed by Nova's platform and science
  • Territory or sector protection as you grow
OR
Route two

Refer

Simply introduce Nova to a client who needs assessment. We take it from there.

  • Earn a referral fee on the deal
  • No accreditation required to get started
  • Ideal if you don't deliver assessments yourself
  • Register your introduction and it is protected

Either path gives you a route to grow revenue alongside Nova, and many partners start with referrals then move to reselling as their capability builds.

Partner tiers

Sell more with Nova. Earn more with every tier.

Five tiers, each a clear step up in margin, support and protection. You move between them on the volume you have delivered, not the volume you promised.

The economics

Simple and transparent. No hidden terms.

You always know what you earn before you sell. Your rate is fixed in Saudi Riyals for the contract year and set out in full in your partner schedule.

If you resell
Earn margin

On every unit you deliver. The more volume you commit to, the better your rate, and your headroom widens at every tier you climb.

If you refer
Earn a fee

On any deal you bring us, calculated on first-year revenue and paid once the client is onboard and has settled their invoice.

1

Client engaged

You bring the client, sold directly by you or referred to us.

2

Nova delivers

Assessments run on the Nova platform, in Arabic or English, with results and reports issued to your standard.

3

You earn

Margin or referral fee, paid on a clear published schedule with no reconciliation to chase.

Where we stand

The questions worth asking, answered before you ask

Nova is owned by a group that also has a consulting business. Rather than leave you to discover that mid-deal, here is exactly how we keep the two apart.

House accounts, shared upfront

A named list of accounts we keep direct, given to you when you join, not discovered halfway through a bid. Later additions never apply to an opportunity you have already registered.

Deal registration that holds

Register a named client and opportunity through the partner portal and you hold it for 90 days. Nova's own sales team is excluded from that account for the period, and first to register prevails.

Nova sits apart from consulting

Nova as a product is managed separately from Tharwah Consulting, which is not part of the partner channel. If you compete with them for services work, it does not affect your Nova pricing, your tier or your registered opportunities.

Who partners with us

02

Recruitment & staffing agencies

Cognitive and situational judgement screening at volume, with integration into your applicant tracking system.

Competency, development and coaching applications, for building people rather than selecting them.

Sign your partner agreement and complete Nova certification training.

02

Launch

Get your dashboard and marketing materials, and start selling or referring.

03

Straight answers

Frequently asked

How is Nova priced, and how do I know what I earn?

Nova is sold in units, with a set number of units per candidate assessed. Your buy price per unit is fixed in Saudi Riyals for the contract year and is issued with your partner schedule before you commit to anything. What you charge your client is entirely your decision. We take no share of your consulting, feedback or assessment centre fees.

Do I pay for my units in advance?

Yes. Partners buy a block of units upfront and draw them down as they assess. Blocks run for twelve months; you can top up at any time at the same rate.

Can Nova reports carry my brand?

Reports can be co-branded so your name sits alongside ours. Full white-labelling is not offered. The Nova attribution stays on every report.

Do I have to stop selling other assessment instruments?

Not at the entry tiers. The restriction applies only where we have given you something exclusive: a protected sector or exclusive country rights.

Is Nova a replacement for the instruments my clients already use?

Usually not. Nova adds Arabic-native development, GCC normative data, and competency alignment to Vision 2030.

What happens to my clients if I leave the programme?

Assessments in progress can be completed during a run-off period. Your registered clients are yours; we will not solicit them for 12 months after you leave, and vice versa.

Where is candidate data held?

In the Kingdom, on Alibaba Cloud Riyadh, governed by the Personal Data Protection Law. A data processing annex is signed with every partner.
