Automate Candidate Scoring with GitHub & LinkedIn Workflow

Transform Candidate Search & Scoring with n8n's Automated Workflow!

Revolutionize your hiring process with our cutting-edge workflow designed to streamline candidate scoring via GitHub and LinkedIn. This robust system efficiently turns a simple job description into a recruiter-ready JSON summary, all while refining your search across multiple platforms like GitHub, LinkedIn (through Apify), Stack Overflow, and Hacker News.

What this workflow does

• Receives candidate search requests through a POST webhook, standardizing essential fields such as job description, skills, location, and scoring criteria.
• Validates the request, responding with a 400 JSON error if it lacks structured job requirements.
• Utilizes Groq (via LangChain) to extract detailed job requirements and create a comprehensive search brief for each platform.
• Parallel searches on GitHub, LinkedIn via Apify, Stack Overflow (Stack Exchange API), and Hacker News (Algolia HN API), consolidating candidates into a unified format.
• Aggregates and deduplicates candidate profiles by URL, filters by essential skills, job title, and location preferences, and scores them on evidence-based metrics.
• Generates a recruiter-friendly shortlist with detailed explaining notes per candidate and summary, optionally saving to Supabase, concluding with a JSON response.
