Jobs are fetched from Remotive and Arbeitnow.\n4. CV profiles and sent log are retrieved.\n5. Match candidates are built and Groq response is obtained.\n6. The response is logged and scored.\n7. Matches are collected and grouped by profile.\n8. A digest email is sent.\n\n### Setup steps\n\n- - [ ] Set up CV upload form trigger\n- - [ ] Configure job fetching nodes\n- - [ ] Set up CV profiles and sent log nodes\n- - [ ] Configure match candidates and Groq response nodes\n- - [ ] Set up log and score nodes\n- - [ ] Configure collect and group matches nodes\n- - [ ] Set up send digest email node\n\n### Customization\n\nThe workflow can be customized by modifying the job fetching nodes to fetch jobs from different sources, or by changing the criteria for building match candidates."
