Extract Candidate Details From Uploaded CV PDFs Into Airtable

Accepts CV PDF uploads through an n8n form, validates them with a text classifier, extracts candidate data with an LLM and saves it to Airtable on each submission.

What it does

## Try It Out! ### This n8n template combines form file uploads with AI components to create a simple but effective job application submission flow. It's a perfect low-cost solution without the bells and whistles of the surface yet is highly advanced with its use of AI. ### 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. * 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 to allow the applicant to amend any of the generated application fields. ### Need Help?
