The problem it solves

Sorting through resumes sent one by one on Telegram is tedious and easy to lose track of, especially when candidates apply at different times. You end up copying details into a spreadsheet by hand or missing qualified applicants in the message clutter.

Who it fits

An HR team or recruiter hiring through Telegram or informal application channels.

How it works

  1. A candidate sends their CV as a PDF through Telegram
  2. The system checks that the file is a valid PDF before continuing
  3. The CV is saved securely to Google Drive
  4. AI reads the CV and extracts candidate details like experience and job title
  5. The candidate's information is logged as a new row in Google Sheets
What you get

Candidate details organized before you look at them

Candidates can send their CV on Telegram and have their key details logged into a spreadsheet ready for your review.

What you get

An organized Google Sheet of candidates with AI-extracted details and a linked copy of each CV.

What you need

A Telegram bot, a Google Workspace account, and a Gemini 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.
