AI-Powered Resume Screening Workflow

This powerful n8n workflow revolutionizes your hiring process by automating the initial screening and data extraction from candidate resumes received via email. Designed for HR professionals and recruiters, it leverages artificial intelligence to quickly analyze resumes, extract critical information, and provide an objective score, all while populating a central Google Sheet for efficient candidate management.

Key Features

  • Automated email monitoring for new resume submissions in Gmail.
  • Intelligent PDF text extraction for comprehensive resume analysis.
  • AI-driven evaluation and scoring of candidate resumes using GPT-4o-mini.
  • Automated extraction of name, email, and LinkedIn profiles into a structured format.
  • Seamless integration with Google Sheets for centralized candidate data management.

How It Works

1. Trigger: The workflow automatically starts by monitoring your designated Gmail inbox for new, unread emails containing attachments (resumes).

2. Extract: It then extracts the text content from any attached PDF resume files.

3. Analyze: An advanced AI agent, powered by OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini, processes the extracted text. It evaluates the resume based on a predefined system message, assigns a score, and identifies key candidate information such as name, email, and LinkedIn profile.

4. Structure: A structured output parser ensures the AI's response is formatted consistently for easy data handling.

5. Record: Finally, all extracted details, including the AI's score and the original resume text, are appended as a new row to your specified Google Sheet.
