📄 CV / Resume AI Screening & Tracker

Hiring is one of the most time-intensive processes in any organization. A single job posting can attract hundreds of resumes, and manually reviewing each one takes 6-8 minutes on average. What if you could have an AI agent screen every resume the moment it arrives — scoring candidates, organizing files, and sending notifications automatically?

The Problem with Manual Resume Screening

HR teams face a crushing volume problem. Studies show that the average corporate job posting receives 250+ applications. Recruiters spend roughly 23 hours screening resumes for a single hire. This leads to inconsistent evaluations, unconscious bias from fatigue, and qualified candidates slipping through the cracks simply because their resume was reviewed at the end of a long day.

What We're Building

In this module, you'll build a fully automated HR screening pipeline using n8n. The system watches a Google Drive folder for new CVs, reads and analyzes each one using AI, scores the candidate against the job description, and takes action based on the score:

1. Google Drive Trigger — Detects when a new CV is uploaded to the intake folder
2. Download & Extract — Downloads the resume file and extracts text from PDF or DOCX
3. Job Description Fetch — Reads the current job description from a Google Doc
4. AI Screening Agent — Scores the candidate 1-10 and classifies as Accept, KIV, or Reject
5. Folder Organization — Moves the CV to the appropriate folder (Accept/KIV/Reject)
6. Email Notification — Sends a detailed screening report to the hiring manager
