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.
