Description

How it works

The workflow detects incoming job-application emails, extracts resumes, and parses them for AI analysis. It evaluates each candidate against three open roles and assigns a fit score with structured reasoning. Low-scoring applicants are stored for review, while strong candidates move into an automated scheduling flow. The system checks availability on the next business day, books the slot, sends a confirmation email, and records all details in Airtable.

Step-by-step

Detect and collect job-application data

• Gmail Trigger1 – Monitors inbox for all new emails.
• Message a model2 – Classifies whether the email is a job application.
• If2 – Continues only when the AI result is YES.
• Get a message1 – Fetches the full message and attachments.
• Upload file1 – Uploads the resume to Google Drive.
• Extract from File1 – Converts the PDF resume into text.

Analyze the resume and evaluate fit

• Available Positions1 – Defines the three open roles.
• Message a model3 – Produces recommended role, fit score, strengths, gaps, skills, and reasoning.
• If3 – Routes candidates based on fit_score ≥ 8.
• Create a record3 – Stores lower-scoring applicants in Airtable.
• Get Next Business Day1 – Calculates the schedule window for qualified candidates.

Check availability on the next business day

• AI Agent1 – Orchestrates availability search using calendar nodes.
