Handling Job Application Submissions with AI and n8n Forms

This n8n template leverages n8n's multi-form feature to build a 2 part job application submission journey which aims to eliminate the need for applicants to re-enter data found on their CVs/Resumes. How it works The application submission process starts with an n8n form trigger to accept CV files in the form of PDFs. The PDF is validated using the text classifier node to determine if it is a valid CV else the applicant is asked to reupload. A basic LLM node is used to extract relevant information from the CV as data capture. A copy of the original job post is included to ensure relevancy. Applicant's data is then sent to an ATS for processing. For our demo, we used airtable because we could attach PDFs to rows. Finally, a second form trigger is used for the actual application form. However, it is prefilled to save the applicant's time and allow them to amend any of the generated application fields. How to use Ensure to change the redirect URL in the form ending node to use the host domain of your n8n instance. Requirements OpenAI for LLM Airtable to capture applicant data Customising the workflow Application form is pretty basic for this demonstration but could be extended to ask more in-depth questions. If it fits the job, why not ask applicants to upload portfolio works and have AI describe/caption them.
