Automate CV Screening & Candidate Validation with AI
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your hiring process by automatically screening CVs received via email. This workflow leverages AI to extract candidate information, validate key details, and organize submissions efficiently.
About This Workflow
Tired of manual CV sifting? This n8n workflow automates the entire candidate screening process. It begins by monitoring your inbox for new emails containing CVs. Once a CV is detected, the system extracts the text from the PDF, parses it to identify key information like candidate name and department alignment, and validates its completeness. Valid CVs are then organized into designated folders, while any incomplete or invalid submissions trigger an alert to HR. This dramatically reduces manual effort, speeds up candidate shortlisting, and ensures no promising applicant is overlooked.
Key Features
- Automatically scans for new CVs in your inbox.
- Extracts text content from PDF CV attachments.
- Employs custom logic to parse and structure candidate data.
- Validates essential CV fields for completeness.
- Organizes validated CVs into department-specific folders.
- Notifies HR of any processing errors or invalid CVs.
How To Use
- Configure Email Trigger: Set up the 'Trigger on New CV Email' node with your IMAP credentials and specify search criteria (e.g., emails with 'CV' in the subject).
- Set Up PDF Extraction: Ensure the 'Extract Text from PDF CV' node is configured to read the attachment from the email.
- Customize Parsing Logic: Modify the JavaScript code in the 'Parse & Structure CV Information' node to accurately extract and categorize candidate data relevant to your organization (departments, skills, etc.).
- Define Validation Rules: Adjust the conditions in the 'Check CV for Required Fields' node to specify which data points are mandatory.
- Configure Storage: Update the 'Save Valid CV to Folder' node with your desired file path and naming convention for storing validated CVs.
- Set Up Notifications: Configure the 'Notify HR of Invalid CV' node with your SMTP credentials and the appropriate recipient email address for error alerts.
- Activate Workflow: Ensure the workflow is active to begin automated CV processing.
