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
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 analysis. Our Team Analysis feature evaluates whether your assembled team has the collective capability to successfully execute a specific project or product roadmap.
Team Analysis Evaluates:
- Collective team capability against project requirements
- Critical skill gaps that could derail the project
- Experience distribution and team composition
- Risk factors and mitigation strategies
Use Cases:
- Startups: Evaluate co-founder team composition before building
- Project Teams: Assess capability before major project kickoff
- Recruiters: Offer team consulting to win more contracts
- Growing Companies: Identify hiring needs before delays occur
Team Analysis applies the same 7D methodology to each team member, then synthesizes the results to provide team-level insights and recommendations.
