Automate CV Data Extraction, Prefill Forms & Streamline ATS Integration
Automate CV data extraction and application form pre-filling, reducing manual data entry by over 90% and accelerating candidate processing by hours per application.
Manually processing job applications and extracting data from CVs is a slow, error-prone task for HR teams. This workflow automates AI-powered CV data extraction, intelligently pre-fills application forms for candidates, and integrates directly with your Applicant Tracking System (ATS).

- Automated Document Validation: Uses AI to classify uploaded documents, ensuring only valid CVs proceed, and prompting retries for incorrect files.
- Seamless ATS Integration: Stores candidate data and original CVs directly into Airtable or your preferred ATS for organized tracking.
- Guided Application Flow: Provides a two-step application process with clear instructions and redirects, enhancing candidate experience.
How It Works
This workflow starts with a user-friendly n8n form for applicants to submit their CVs. The submitted PDF is then processed: first, text is extracted, then an AI model classifies the document to ensure it's a valid CV. If invalid, the applicant is prompted to re-upload. For valid CVs, another AI model extracts relevant information, including generating a tailored cover letter, based on a provided job description. This extracted data, along with the original CV, is securely saved into Airtable (acting as an ATS). Finally, the applicant is redirected to a second form, intelligently pre-filled with their extracted data, allowing them to review and finalize their application before a successful submission message.
