Tanova About Tanova
Structured candidate evaluation that finds exceptional talent traditional systems miss
Our Mission
Traditional applicant tracking systems use keyword matching that systematically rejects exceptional candidates who are self-taught, career-changers, or entrepreneurs. We're changing that.
Tanova works standalone or enhances your existing ATS (Greenhouse, Lever, Workable) with structured 7-dimensional analysis to assess true candidate potential beyond resume keywords, helping startups and scale-ups find hidden gems that conventional screening misses.
The 7D Framework
Our open-source evaluation methodology assesses candidates across seven critical dimensions:
Qualification Match
Education and formal credentials
Capability Confidence
Technical skills and proven ability
Situational Stability
Career stability assessment
Reward Potential
Motivations and benefits alignment
Culture Fit
Values and work style compatibility
Career Trajectory
Growth ambitions and role fit
Compensation Fit
Salary expectations vs. budget
Beyond Individual Evaluation: AI Team & Board Builder
While our 7D framework excels at evaluating individual candidates, we recognize that hiring is just one piece of the puzzle. Building successful products and companies requires the right combination of skills and experience.
That's why we've extended our methodology to team-level composition and analysis. Our AI can propose teams from scratch, help you fill gaps in partial teams, and evaluate existing teams against project requirements.
Three Ways to Use Team Builder:
Team Analysis Capabilities:
- AI-recommended team composition for any project
- Critical skill gap identification and hiring recommendations
- Auto-generated job listings for recommended additions
- Team fit scoring and risk assessment
Board Builder (Same Approach):
- Propose board compositions for fundraising stages
- Identify governance gaps and diversity improvements
- Generate board member search briefs
- Board readiness scores for investor due diligence
Both features apply the same 7D methodology to propose, evaluate, and optimize team/board composition—from zero to fully assessed.
