How Nova Works in Greenhouse

Setting Up Nova in Greenhouse

Score Tags

Nova creates a multi-select custom field on applications for score tags. Each tag includes the requisition ID and score (e.g. “REQ-123 - 8/10”), so you can filter and sort in pipeline views. Re-scoring adds a new tag alongside the previous one. Clear tags from the Nova dashboard if needed.

Automatic Candidate Filtering

Nova skips scoring for rejected candidates.
