"content": "## Screen candidate CVs with a single AI agent\n\nA candidate submits a CV to a webhook. One agent parses it, scores it against the job description, and returns a structured evaluation. A deterministic rule in code turns that score into a recommendation, then the CV is filed in Google Drive, logged to Google Sheets, and the candidate receives an email. Protected characteristics are excluded from the prompt by design.\n\n## Who it is for\n\nRecruiters and hiring teams who receive CVs through a form or careers page and want a consistent, evidence-based first pass before a human reviews anyone. It suits roles across engineering, operations, and management, since the scorer picks weights per role category automatically.\n\n## How it works\n\n1. A webhook receives the CV plus candidate name, email, and the job ID being applied for.\n2. Text is extracted from the file, PDF directly and DOCX through a Google Drive conversion, then normalised to plain text.\n3. The matching job description is pulled from Google Sheets and combined with the CV text.\n4. One agent call reads both together and returns a candidate profile and a scored evaluation across required skills, experience, domain alignment, and nice-to-have, weighted by role category.\n5. A recommendation is computed in code from those scores: a required-skills floor first, then a threshold on the overall score.\n6. The CV is filed into the Shortlisted, Pending, or Do Not Proceed folder, the full record is logged to Sheets, and a shortlist email is sent or a rejection draft is prepared.\n\n## How to set up\n\n1. Open the Config node and fill in all eight values: spreadsheet ID, results tab GID, three Drive folder IDs, a temp folder ID for DOCX conversion, company name, and HR email.\n2. Attach credentials: Google Sheets, Google Drive, Gmail, and OpenRouter.\n3. Create the Google Sheet with a Job Description tab keyed on job_id, and a results tab matching the columns written by Log to Sheets.\n4. Point your intake form at the webhook, sending candidate_name, candidate_email, applied_job_id, and the CV file as cv_file.\n5. Replace the YOUR COMPANY ADDRESS placeholder in the two email bodies.\n\n## Requirements\n\nGoogle Sheets, Google Drive, and Gmail credentials on one Workspace account. An OpenRouter API key with access to Claude Sonnet, or swap the Screening Model node for any provider you prefer.\n\n## How to customize\n\nAdjust the role-category weights or the recommendation thresholds directly in Build Submission Record, since both now live in code rather than in the prompt. Swap the Screening Model node for a cheaper or faster model. The estimated cost per run comes from a single PRICING rate in Build Submission Record, so update it if your provider pricing changes.\n\n## Note on fairness\n\nThe prompt instructs the model to ignore name, age, gender, nationality, and other protected characteristics, and to score only on evidence found in the CV. This is a first-pass screening aid, not an automated hiring decision. The rejection path only ever drafts an email, so no candidate is declined without a human sending it."
