AI-Powered CV Screening & Candidate Analysis Automation

This n8n workflow revolutionizes initial hiring by automating CV screening with AI. Candidates submit applications through a public web form including their PDF CV. The workflow instantly logs the applicant's name and email in a Google Sheet for tracking, then uses Mistral's OCR to extract text from the CV accurately, even from scanned documents.

Next, the extracted CV text is fed into Google Gemini AI, prompted to act as a hiring assistant. It scores the candidate against specific job requirements, providing a detailed explanation, strengths, and fit assessment. A JSON Output Parser structures the AI response reliably for easy data handling.

Finally, the qualification score and analysis are appended to the candidate's row in the Google Sheet, creating a comprehensive applicant database. Benefits include massive time savings on manual screening, objective AI evaluations, and scalable hiring for teams. Ideal for HR departments, recruitment agencies, or any business with high-volume applications; setup takes ~15 minutes with API keys for Mistral and Gemini.
