What You Get for Each Candidate

5-10 personalized questions based on:
  • Candidate’s specific background
  • Role requirements and seniority
  • Industry experience and transitions
  • Identified strengths and gaps

Question Examples by Role

Sample Question:
“Walk me through the first 90-day framework you’d use for a new product, including what metrics to target and when to pivot.”
What to Listen For:
  • Clear decision-making framework
  • Specific metrics and success criteria
  • Understanding of resource allocation
  • Experience with early-stage development

Interview Best Practices

  • Review questions 15-30 minutes prior
  • Identify 3-4 primary questions to focus on
  • Understand the evaluation criteria
  • Set up note-taking system aligned with framework
  • Make questions conversational, not scripted
  • Listen for the guidance points Nova highlighted
  • Use follow-ups when answers seem shallow
  • Leave time for candidate questions
  • Score responses using Nova’s criteria immediately
  • Note specific examples and red flags observed
  • Document which follow-ups yielded insights
  • Share key findings with interview team

Advanced Features

ATS Integration

  • Automatic Notes: Direct links appear in candidate profiles
  • Team Access: All interviewers can access same question set
  • No Extra Login: Works with existing ATS permissions

Personalization Factors

Nova tailors questions based on:
  • Experience Level: Entry to executive-appropriate complexity
  • Industry Background: Startup vs enterprise experience
  • Role Transitions: IC to manager, industry switches
  • Career Patterns: Gaps, consulting background, etc.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure Nova is enabled for the role
  • Wait 5-10 minutes after application submission
  • Verify team member has appropriate access
  • Check that candidate provided sufficient background
  • Ensure candidate resume contains relevant details
  • Check job description completeness
  • Contact support if personalization consistently lacks
Don’t ask all questions if conversation flows naturally. Pick 2-4 primary questions and use follow-ups to dive deeper rather than rushing through the full list.
