Evaluate job candidates automatically when resumes hit Slack

Mention the bot in Slack with a resume attached and get an AI evaluation against the job description, logged automatically.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs.

The problem it solves

You're comparing resumes to job descriptions by hand, then updating a spreadsheet to track where each candidate stands. It's slow, inconsistent between reviewers, and easy to lose track of who's been evaluated.

Who it fits

HR teams and recruiters who manage hiring through Slack.

How it works

  1. Someone mentions the hiring bot in Slack with a candidate resume attached
  2. The resume is downloaded and its text extracted
  3. AI identifies the candidate's details and the role they applied for
  4. The matching job description is looked up and compared against the resume
  5. An evaluation is posted back in Slack and logged in Google Sheets
What you get

Candidate evaluations ready for you to review

Every resume shared in Slack comes back with an AI evaluation against the job description, logged and ready for your review.

What you get

A candidate fit summary posted in Slack and a tracking row added to Google Sheets.

What you need

A Slack app with bot access, an OpenAI API key, and a Google account with Sheets access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
