Detect Duplicate Job Candidates from Gmail to Slack via Sheets
Automates duplicate detection for job applicants from Gmail emails using Google Sheets; alerts Slack on duplicates and adds new candidates to the sheet.
This n8n workflow streamlines HR recruitment by monitoring Gmail for emails labeled 'applicant', extracting candidate details like email, phone, name, and role via regex, then checking against a Google Sheets database. If a duplicate is found (by email or phone), it instantly notifies your Slack channel; otherwise, it appends the new candidate's info to the sheet for easy tracking.
Benefits include massive time savings for HR teams manually sifting resumes, reduced errors in candidate tracking,
