About this workflow

How it works This workflow automates your initial hiring pipeline by creating an AI-powered CV scanner. It collects job applications through a web form, uses AI to analyze the candidate's CV against your job description, and neatly organizes the results in a Google Sheet. Here’s the step-by-step process: The Application Form: A Form Trigger provides a public web form for candidates to submit their name, email, and CV (as a PDF). Initial Logging: As soon as an application is submitted, the candidate's name and email are added to a Google Sheet. This ensures every applicant is logged, even if a later step fails. CV Text Extraction: The workflow uses Mistral's OCR model to accurately extract all the text from the uploaded CV PDF. AI Analysis: The extracted text is sent to Google Gemini. A detailed prompt instructs the AI to act as a hiring assistant, scoring the CV against the specific requirements of your job role and providing a detailed explanation for its score. Structured Output: A JSON Output Parser ensures the AI's analysis is returned in a clean, structured format, making the data reliable. Final Record: The AI-generated qualification score and explanation are added to the candidate's row in the Google Sheet, giving you a complete, analyzed list of applicants. Set up steps Setup time: 15 minutes You'll need API keys for Mistral and Google AI, and to connect your Google account. 1. Get Your Mistral API Key: Visit the Mistral Platform at console.mistral.ai/api-keys. Create and copy your API key. In the workflow, go to the Extract CV Text node, click the Credential dropdown, and select + Create New Credential. Paste your key into the API Key field and Save. 2. Get Your Google AI API Key: Visit Google AI Studio at aistudio.google.com/app/apikey. Click "Create API key in new project" and copy the key. In the workflow, go to the Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite node, click the Credential dropdown, and select + Create New Credential. Paste your key into the API Key field and Save. 3. Connect Your Google Account: Select the Create 'CVs' Spreadsheet node. Click the Credential dropdown and select + Create New Credential to connect your Google account. Repeat this for the Log Candidate Submission and Add CV Analysis nodes, selecting the credential you just created. 4. Create Your Spreadsheet: Click the "play" icon on the Start Here node to run it. This will create a new Google Sheet in your Google Drive named "CVs" with the correct columns. 5. Customize the Job Role: Go to the AI Qualification node. In the Text parameter, find the jobrequirements section and replace the example job description with your own. Be as detailed as possible for the best results. 6. Start Screening! Activate the workflow using the toggle at the top right. Go to the Application Form node and click the "Open Form URL" button. Fill out the form with a test application and upload a sample CV. Check your Google Sheet to see the AI's analysis appear within moments
