Talent Rediscovery
When you enable a new role, Nova scans your talent database and surfaces past candidates who match the current criteria. It accounts for career growth, transferable skills, and adjacent experience. Matched candidates appear in your ATS pipeline with fresh scores for the current role and preserved application history. Only candidates above your threshold get suggested. Talent rediscovery guideCriteria
Criteria are the specific standards Nova uses to evaluate candidates. Each criterion has 1 of 3 importance levels: must have, preferred, or nice to have. Write criteria that are specific and measurable (“3+ years experience with React in production”) rather than vague (“good technical skills”). Start with essential requirements only, then add nice-to-haves based on your candidate pool. Criteria configuration guideInterview Questions
Nova generates personalized interview questions based on each candidate’s background and the role requirements. Questions are grouped by category (technical, behavioral, role-specific) and include guidance on what strong answers look like. Interview questions guideATS Integration
