## How Nova Works in Lever

When Nova scores a candidate, 3 things happen in Lever:

1. **Feedback form** submitted with a rating and detailed assessment
2. **Tag** added to the opportunity (e.g. "Nova - 8/10")
3. **Link** to the full Nova assessment in the feedback

All actions are attributed to a specific Lever user.

## Setup

Nova connects to Lever via OAuth.

    Go to **Settings > Integrations > Lever** and click **Connect**. You'll be redirected to Lever to authorize access.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Feedback form created automatically">
    Nova creates a **"Nova Feedback"** form template in Lever with a rating and reasoning breakdown. No manual setup required.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start scoring">
    Enable Nova on any job from the Jobs page. Scores post to Lever immediately.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  If you're using Lever's sandbox environment, Nova connects to the sandbox API automatically.

## Score Mapping

Nova converts its 1-10 score to Lever's 4-point rating scale:

| Nova Score | Lever Rating       |
| ---------- | ------------------ |
| 1-2        | 1 - Strong No Hire |
| 3-5        | 2 - No Hire        |
| 6-7        | 3 - Hire           |
| 8-10       | 4 - Strong Hire    |

Customize thresholds in **Settings > Integrations > Lever** using the score mapping slider.

## Tags

Nova adds a score tag to each opportunity so you can filter candidates in Lever's pipeline view. Default format: **"Nova - 8/10"**. Contact support to switch to **"Nova - 4 - Strong Hire"** format.

When a candidate is re-scored, the old tag stays and a new one is added.

## User Attribution

All Nova actions in Lever are attributed to a specific user. By default, this is the job posting owner.

To use a dedicated system account instead, set the **ATS User** in Nova's settings.

[Configure ATS User Settings](/nova/account/ats-user-settings)

## Automatic Candidate Filtering

Nova skips scoring for archived candidates. If a candidate is archived after scoring starts but before it completes, the score still posts.
