Manual screening time for incoming resumes
A custom n8n recruitment automation that processes every incoming resume: text is extracted with OCR, an AI step pulls out skills, experience, education, location, salary expectations and notice period, and each profile is scored against the job requirements. Qualified candidates are stored, recruiters are notified and top applicants are shortlisted automatically.

The brief
Recruiters were opening every resume by hand, copying details into a spreadsheet and ranking candidates from memory. Hiring was slow and inconsistent.
How the workflow runs
- Resumes arrive by email or form upload and are picked up by n8n.
- OCR extracts the text, including from scanned PDFs.
- An AI model extracts name, contact, skills, experience, education, current company, salary expectation, notice period and location.
- Each profile is scored against the job requirements and stored in a central database.
- Candidates above the threshold are shortlisted, recruiters get an email or Slack notification, and the rest are kept in the pool.
Outcome
Screening time cut by more than 80%, consistent scoring across every applicant and faster offers to the best people.
