Overview

Unlock automated, intelligent candidate sourcing with this AI Agent.

This AI-driven workflow acts as your initial hiring filter. It provides a simple web form for candidates to submit their details and upload a PDF resume. The agent then extracts the text from the CV and uses Google Gemini to perform a detailed analysis against your specified job description. It generates a compatibility rating (1-10) and a concise summary, then logs the candidate in a Google Sheet, notifies HR with the AI's analysis, and sends a confirmation to the applicant. This entire process transforms a time-consuming manual task into a fully automated, intelligent system.

Key Features & Benefits

  • AI-Powered CV Analysis: Leverages Google Gemini's powerful language understanding to provide nuanced analysis of candidate experience against job requirements.
  • Automated Candidate Rating: Generates a consistent, unbiased compatibility score for every applicant, making it easy to spot top talent.
  • Centralized Tracking: Automatically populates a Google Sheet with candidate data and the AI's assessment, creating a powerful applicant tracking system (ATS).
  • Instant Notifications: Keeps the hiring team informed with immediate email alerts for new, qualified candidates and confirms receipt with applicants, improving the candidate experience.
  • Fully Customizable: Easily adapt the prompt in the LLM node to change the target job role, required skills, and analysis criteria.

Use Cases

  • Automatically screen high volumes of applicants for technical roles like 'Software Engineer'.
  • Provide a consistent first-pass filter for any role, ensuring all CVs are reviewed against key criteria.
  • Build a centralized, auto-updating database of applicants with AI-generated insights in Google Sheets.
  • Accelerate time-to-hire by quickly identifying and forwarding top candidates to the hiring manager.
