AI-Powered Job Application Screening Workflow

Who Is This For?

This template is ideal for:

• HR teams
• Recruiters
• Hiring managers

Who want to automate the screening of job applicants. If you collect candidate data via JotForm and want an AI‑powered, multi‑source evaluation—without manual copy‑paste—this workflow is for you.

What Problem Does This Solve?

Manually reviewing:

• LinkedIn profiles
• GitHub repos
• LeetCode stats
• Resume PDFs

Is time‑consuming and error‑prone. This workflow:

1. Centralizes all candidate data
2. Scores each dimension against specific job requirements
3. Appends results to Google Sheets
4. Helps make data‑driven hiring decisions faster

What This Workflow Does

1. Trigger on New JotForm Submission

Captures candidate name, email, social URLs, resume link, and job description
(Pro Tip: Add hidden field in JotForm to pass job requirements)

2. Extract & Normalize Usernames

Parses LinkedIn, GitHub, and LeetCode handles

3. Scrape & Format Data

• LinkedIn → profile & latest posts via ScrapingDog & Apify
• GitHub → profile, repos, and contribution metrics via GitHub GraphQL
• LeetCode → submission stats & rankings via LeetCode GraphQL
• Resume → converts PDF to text with PDF.co

4. AI‑Powered Evaluation

Uses LangChain agents on OpenRouter to:

• Generate fit scores (1–10) based on job description
• Provide justifications for each source
• Analyze candidate suitability against specific role requirements

5. Merge & Append

Consolidates scores and feedback → writes new row to Google Sheets with hyperlinks and totals
