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.

Key concepts

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.

Environments

Your API key prefix determines the environment: Both environments are billed per score at the same rate.
Sandbox runs the same AI models and processing pipeline as production. Scores you generate in sandbox are representative of production quality.
