AI-Powered Job Application Workflow
This n8n workflow revolutionizes the job application process by combining smart forms with advanced AI to automate CV screening, data extraction, and form pre-filling. It ensures a seamless experience for applicants while significantly reducing the manual workload for HR teams.
Key Features
- Intelligent CV Upload & Validation: Automatically checks if uploaded documents are valid CVs using AI, prompting for re-upload if invalid.
- Contextual Data Extraction: Extracts relevant applicant information (name, contact, education, skills, experience, cover letter) from CVs, tailored to specific job post requirements.
- Dynamic Form Pre-filling: Uses extracted AI data to automatically populate subsequent application forms, eliminating repetitive manual entry for candidates.
- Centralized Applicant Tracking: Seamlessly saves all candidate data and original CVs to Airtable for organized tracking and easy access.
- Enhanced Candidate Experience: Provides a smooth, efficient two-step application process with intelligent feedback and pre-filled forms.
How It Works
The workflow starts with a user-friendly n8n form for CV submission. The uploaded PDF is then processed by an "Extract from File" node, and its content is validated as a CV using an AI "Text Classifier". If valid, a LangChain "Application Suitability Agent" node, powered by OpenAI, extracts specific details and generates a tailored cover letter based on the provided job description. This structured data and the original CV are then saved to Airtable. Finally, the applicant is redirected to a second n8n form, where the extracted information is pre-filled, allowing for review and submission, completing the application.
