Introduction

The Nova Embed API lets ATS platforms score applications against job-specific criteria using AI. Generate screening criteria from job descriptions and get structured assessments with scores, strengths, concerns, and interview recommendations.

How it works

​

1. Job setup (once per job)

Generate screening criteria from the job description. Optionally collect answers to clarification questions to refine the criteria. Nova stores criteria automatically.

​

2. Scoring (per applicant)

Submit applications for async scoring. Pass the job ID, application ID, resume, and job description. Nova loads criteria automatically and delivers results via webhook.
