Once the API key is created and permissions are set, you can connect Nova and begin using the integration.

Connect Nova to Greenhouse

  • Enter your company name and select Greenhouse as your ATS.
  • When prompted:
    • Paste your Harvest API key.
    • Select the Greenhouse user who Nova should act on behalf of when writing scores and comments.

Note: You can create a separate user for all Nova scores and comments inside Greenhouse [e.g. nova@company.com]

  • Click Connect Greenhouse. Your Greenhouse jobs will begin syncing to Nova.

Using the integration

Step 1 - Define and calibrate hiring criteria:

  • In Nova, choose a Greenhouse job to activate.

  • Nova will analyse the job and help you turn your hiring manager intake into structured hiring criteria.

  • Score a sample set of real candidates to calibrate the criteria.

  • Once aligned, Nova will review all candidates and add assessments back in Greenhouse. You can also check your scoring analytics in Nova:

Step 2 - Review candidates in Greenhouse:

Nova automatically scores and ranks inbound applicants against your aligned screening criteria. 

  • Filter candidates using the Nova relevance score

  • The Nova relevance score and assessment are added to each candidate inside Greenhouse, allowing you to:
    • See strengths, concerns, and interview focus areas
    • Recruiters can stay inside Greenhouse and use Nova’s feedback to help decide who to advance, reject, or rediscover.

Fraud Detection

Automatically screen high-scoring candidates for resume fraud with multi-layered AI analysis validated against a real-world benchmark.

Nova’s fraud detection runs after scoring and only on candidates above your configured score threshold (default: 7/10). Results are written back to Greenhouse as a note and a risk tag, and also appear in Nova’s Fraud Detection dashboard for trend and volume reporting.

What Nova analyzes

  • Nova evaluates resumes across multiple independent dimensions.
  • When concerns from different dimensions converge, the fraud probability increases.
  • When only surface-level issues are present, risk stays low.

Dimensions Nova checks

  • Timeline integrity: overlapping dates, impossible sequences, future-dated roles
  • Career progression: seniority jumps that skip expected intermediate levels
  • Skill credibility: implausibly broad technology lists spanning unrelated domains, keyword stuffing
  • Quantitative claims: repeated large impact numbers without baselines or context
  • Document metadata: suspicious PDF creation tools and document assembly artifacts
  • Hidden content detection: invisible text via tiny font sizes, keyword stuffing, overlapping duplicate text layers
  • Email verification: email deliverability, account age, and breach history; contact data is sourced from ATS structured fields first, falling back to resume text extraction
  • LinkedIn validation: profile completeness, activity history, and profile authenticity
  • Cross-candidate detection: the same email, phone number, or LinkedIn profile appearing across multiple different applications within your company; reapplications from the same candidate are excluded
  • AI generation patterns: resumes that read like uniform templates with zero authentic workplace detail

Talent Pool Search

Most ATS databases are full of strong candidates who applied to the wrong role at the wrong time. Talent Pool Search lets you find them. Nova indexes your past applicants and scores them against your current job criteria, so when you open a new role, you can instantly surface qualified candidates who are already in your system but not yet in the pipeline for that job. 

Nova’s AI Talent Search is a separate feature that finds candidates outside your existing database by searching external sources like LinkedIn profiles and GitHub (coming soon).

How it works:

  • Run a search from Jobs: From the Jobs dashboard, click Talent Pool Search. Nova uses the job’s existing screening criteria to search and rescore candidates across your ATS.
  • Get notified when it’s ready: Nova emails you when results are ready, including a link to the search results.
  • Review a ranked pipeline: Results appear in a dedicated pipeline, stack-ranked from best-fit to not-a-fit, with Nova’s reasoning and criteria-by-criteria assessment.
  • Open in Nova or Greenhouse: Review resumes and assessments in the pipeline, or jump back into Greenhouse to take action.
