The problem it solves

You want to pull specific details out of resumes, like experience or last position, but every candidate formats things differently. Copying that information into a spreadsheet by hand for every applicant is slow and error-prone.

Who it fits

An HR team or recruiter who needs resume details pulled into a structured table without manual data entry.

How it works

  1. You describe what you want in each column, right inside Airtable, as a simple instruction
  2. When a resume is uploaded or a column instruction changes, the system notices
  3. AI reads the resume and follows each column's instructions to pull out that detail
  4. The extracted values, like name, experience, or last position, are filled in automatically
What you get

Resume details filled in for review

You get resume details pulled into a structured table the moment a resume comes in, ready for your team to review and confirm.

What you get

An Airtable row with each column automatically filled in based on the resume and your own instructions.

What you need

An Airtable account and an OpenAI account.

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.
