What problem is this workflow solving? / Use Case
Manually reviewing resumes is time-consuming, inconsistent, and prone to human bias.
This workflow automates the resume intake and evaluation process, ensuring that each applicant is screened, summarized, and scored using a consistent, data-driven method. It enhances efficiency and supports better hiring decisions.
What this workflow does
- Accepts resume submissions via form and saves files to Google Drive.
- Extracts key information from resumes using AI (e.g., name, contact, education, experience).
- Summarizes candidate qualifications into a short, readable profile.
- Allows HR to rate applicants and leave comments.
- Logs all extracted data and evaluations into a centralized Google Sheet for tracking.
Setup
- Resume is submitted through an n8n form.
- The uploaded file is automatically stored in Google Drive.
- n8n uses OpenAI and document parsing tools to extract candidate data.
- Extracted information is structured and summarized using GPT.
- A review form is triggered for internal HR rating and notes.
- All data is appended to a Google Sheet for records and filtering.
How to customize this workflow to your needs
- Change the form tool (e.g., Typeform, Tally, or custom HTML) based on your stack.
- Adapt the summary prompt to align with your specific role requirements.
- Add filters to auto-flag top-tier candidates based on score or skills.
- Integrate Slack or email to notify hiring managers when top resumes are processed.
- Connect to your ATS if you want to push processed resumes into your recruitment system.
