The problem

Reading every CV and scheduling interviews takes hiring managers away from their real work.

How this automation solves it

This workflow is ideal for recruitment agencies, HR professionals, and hiring managers looking to automate the initial screening of CVs. It runs on a manual run, so the work happens without anyone doing it by hand.

What changes in your business

  • CVs screened and scored automatically
  • Shortlists ready faster
  • Candidates and managers kept updated

Use these to screen CVs, shortlist candidates, schedule interviews and keep hiring managers updated.

Step-by-step setup (free)

  1. 1

    Get the file

    Click "Add to cart", check out free with your details, and download the workflow file.

  2. 2

    Import it into n8n

    Open n8n (n8n Cloud or your own server), create a new workflow, then choose "Import from File" from the menu and select the file. You can also paste the file contents straight onto the canvas.

  3. 3

    Connect your accounts

    This workflow does not need any app accounts beyond n8n itself.

  4. 4

    Set up the trigger

    The workflow starts when you click "Execute workflow". To run it automatically, swap the manual trigger for a Schedule Trigger.

  5. 5

    Replace the placeholders

    Look for placeholder values such as you@example.com, sheet names, folder IDs and URLs, and replace them with your own.

  6. 6

    Test, then switch it on

    Run the workflow once with test data and check every node turns green. Then turn on the Active toggle so it runs by itself.

These projects are adapted from awesome-n8n-templates by Enes Cingoz and the original workflow authors, shared under CC BY 4.0. Changes made: removed sample data and saved credential IDs, replaced hard-coded email addresses and calendar IDs with placeholders, and rewrote some descriptions. Hunain Nasir did not create the original workflows and they are not endorsed by their authors. Always review and test a workflow before using it with real data.
