Automate resume screening & candidate routing with Gemini AI and Google Sheets

Streamline your recruitment process with AI-powered resume analysis that goes beyond keyword matching. Overview This workflow revolutionizes hiring by using specialized AI agents to intelligently analyze resumes for different positions. Unlike traditional ATS systems that rely on keyword matching, this solution provides deep, contextual analysis of candidate qualifications and automatically manages the entire screening process from application to response. How it works Application Submission - Candidates complete a form with personal details, select their desired position (ICT, Customer Care, Accounting, or HR), and upload their resume Secure Storage - Resumes are automatically saved to Google Drive for permanent record-keeping Intelligent Routing - A switch node classifies applications by position and routes them to specialized AI agents AI Analysis - Position-specific agents (each with customized prompts and guardrails) extract text from PDFs and rate candidates on a 1-10 scale with detailed commentary CRM Integration - All data (timestamp, candidate info, position, score, AI comments, resume link) flows into Google Sheets for easy tracking Automated Response - A secondary workflow sends interview invitations to high-scoring candidates (7-10) and professional rejection emails to others (below 7) Key Benefits ✅ Contextual Analysis - AI understands skills and experience, not just keywords ✅ Faster Hiring - Close applications once you have enough qualified candidates ✅ No Expertise Required - HR teams don't need technical knowledge in every field ✅ Fully Automated - From submission to interview invitation without manual intervention ✅ Customizable - Adjust AI prompts and scoring criteria for each position ✅ Transparent - All AI reasoning is logged for review Set up steps Time to set up: 30-45 minutes Prerequisites: n8n instance (cloud or self-hosted) Google Drive account Google Sheets account AI provider credentials (OpenAI, Anthropic, or compatible API) Email service (Gmail, SMTP, or other n8n-supported service) Quick Setup: Import the workflow into your n8n instance Connect your Google Drive and Google Sheets accounts Configure your AI provider credentials in the agent nodes Customize AI prompts for each position in the respective agent nodes (detailed instructions in sticky notes) Set up your email service credentials Customize email templates for invitations and rejections Test with sample resumes for each position Deploy your application form and share the link Detailed configuration instructions are included in sticky notes within the workflow.
