AI CV Screening Workflow

Automate your entire CV screening process from submission to initial AI analysis and HR notification with this powerful workflow. This n8n automation connects an Application Form trigger to Google Sheets and Gmail, streamlining candidate management. When a candidate submits their CV via the Application Form, the workflow converts the binary file to JSON, then uses the Google Gemini Chat Model via the AI Analysis & Rating node to intelligently analyze and rate the CV content. Simultaneously, it informs HR of the new CV received through Gmail and sends a Confirmation of CV Submission to the candidate, ensuring a professional and timely response. Finally, the AI analysis and rating are automatically added to your Candidate Lists in Google Sheets, providing a centralized and pre-screened database for your recruitment team. This workflow drastically reduces manual effort in CV processing, accelerates the initial screening phase, and ensures no application is overlooked, saving significant time and resources for HR departments and recruiters.
