Editorial & Verification Policy

Last updated: October 19, 2026 • Published by GradeNova Career Research Team

At GradeNova, our mission is to provide university students and entry-level job seekers across India with accurate, trustworthy, and actionable career tools. We adhere to rigorous verification standards across our AI resume enhancer, company scam checks, portfolio tools, and curated job listings.

1. Company Check & Job Scam Verification

Every company listing and job posting indexed by GradeNova undergoes multi-factor scrutiny to detect fake recruiters and fraudulent hiring practices:

  • Domain Authenticity: Verification of official corporate domain names and elimination of free webmail accounts (such as @gmail or @consultant.com pretending to be enterprises).
  • Zero-Fee Policy: GradeNova strictly blacklists any recruiter or agency charging fees for registration, interview scheduling, equipment security deposits, or background checks.
  • Registration Checks: Cross-referencing against corporate registry databases (such as MCA/CIN) and active LinkedIn company pages.

2. ATS Scoring & Resume Enhancement Methodology

Our ATS resume scoring algorithms are modeled on industry-standard applicant tracking systems (including Workday, Greenhouse, Taleo, and Lever). We test our scoring engines against real job descriptions to ensure:

  • Transparent feedback on keyword optimization without artificial keyword stuffing.
  • High parsing readability across standard single-column and two-column layouts.
  • Action-verb and measurable impact emphasis (e.g. Google X-Y-Z resume formula).

3. Content Accuracy and AI Ethics

All AI-assisted features (mock interviews, cover letter generators, and portfolio suggestions) are supervised to ensure they never fabricate experience or credentials that the student has not provided. The user maintains complete control over all published text.

4. Corrections & User Feedback

We welcome corrections from our community. If you encounter any inaccuracies in our job listings or career guidance, please email our editorial desk at contact@gradenova.in. Reported issues are reviewed and addressed within 24 business hours.
