Screen resumes automatically with AI and rank candidates in Sheets

As resumes arrive by email, AI reads them, scores each candidate, and logs the results in a spreadsheet.

How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

Reading through every resume that comes in by email takes hours you'd rather spend interviewing top candidates. Important details get missed and good candidates can fall through the cracks in a crowded inbox.

Who it fits

Hiring managers and small HR teams who need to screen a high volume of resumes quickly.

How it works

  1. A resume arrives as an email attachment
  2. The file is saved and its text is extracted
  3. AI compares the candidate's experience against your job requirements
  4. Contact details and key qualifications are pulled out automatically
  5. The candidate's score and evaluation are logged in Google Sheets
What you get

Candidates ranked before you read a resume

Incoming resumes get scored against your job requirements automatically and logged in a spreadsheet for review.

What you get

A structured candidate evaluation with a score, strengths, and weaknesses, logged in a shared spreadsheet.

What you need

A Gmail account, a Google Drive account, a Google Sheets account, and an OpenAI API key.

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.
