⚡ 512 views · 👥 HR & Recruitment
Description
It allows you to automate candidate retrieval and onboarding in your HR processes.
How it works
-
It monitors a Gmail address for new emails with a PDF attachment
-
It expects the PDF to be a candidate’s CV, extracts the text using OCR, and then structures the data using ChatGPT
-
Once the data is processed, it connects to Notion and adds (or updates) an entry in the specified database
How to use
-
Configure your Gmail account and provide your ChatGPT API key
-
Provide an API key for the OCR service in a variable named OCR_SPACE_API_KEY
-
Connect your Notion account
-
Once everything is configured, the workflow will monitor your inbox for new emails. Just send an email with a PDF attachment to the configured address
Requirements
-
In addition to Gmail, ChatGPT, and Notion, the system uses a third-party OCR API (OCR SPACE). You’ll need to create an account and obtain an API key
-
You must map the fields returned by ChatGPT to the Notion database, or use the same field names we are using
Customising
It should be easy to replace Notion with PostgreSQL or another database if needed
