Why Novara ranks Amara here

Six years of Node.js and TypeScript cover the core of the role. PostgreSQL at scale and the API migration she led map to the job’s data and delivery work. Kubernetes is the one gap, and the job lists it as nice to have.

Applicants ranked by Job Fit Score next to the reasons for one score.

First-round interviews, without the calendar.

Frequently asked questions

Does Novara decide who gets hired?

No. Novara scores resumes and interviews and shows its reasons. Your team decides who moves on, who gets an HR round and who gets an offer.

What is the AI interview like for candidates?

Candidates pick a time slot, then talk with Novara's AI interviewer. Questions are written for the role by Novara, alongside any your team adds.

How does Novara handle cheating?

During the interview, Novara watches for tab switching, leaving full screen, copy and paste, the camera turning off, more than one face, and looking away. Each event is timestamped in the report for your team to review.

Can we add our own interview questions?

Yes. Add your own questions alongside the ones Novara writes for the role.

Can candidates reschedule?

Yes. They pick a new slot from the times your team sets, and the original booking stays on record.

Can we list jobs on our own website?

Yes. Novara gives you a branded career page with embed code for your site, plus a shareable link for every job.

Who on our team can use it?

Admins, HR managers and recruiters, each with role-based access. Invite teammates by email.

Is our data kept separate from other companies?

Yes. Each company's users, jobs, candidates, resumes, recordings and reports are isolated, with separate storage per company.
