Automate candidate creation in Recrutei with GPT-4 vacancy matching & resume parsing
Overview: Automated Candidate Creation with AI Vacancy Matching
This workflow automates the creation of new candidates in the Recrutei ATS directly from an n8n Form submission, ensuring a seamless "Apply Now" funnel.
Its core feature is an AI Agent (OpenAI + Tool) that dynamically identifies the correct Recrutei vacancy_id based on the applicant's selection in the form. The workflow also automatically extracts the text content from the candidate's PDF curriculum and uploads it as an internal observation (note) to the profile.
This template eliminates manual data entry, guarantees that candidates are associated with the correct vacancy, and makes the resume content easily searchable within your Recrutei ATS.
Workflow Logic & Steps
- On Form Submission (Form Trigger): The workflow starts when a candidate submits the n8n Form, capturing Name, Email, Phone, the selected Vacancy Name (e.g., "Javascript Developer"), and the Resume (PDF file).
- Get Vacancy ID from AI (OpenAI): The text name of the vacancy is sent to an AI Agent.
- The AI, guided by a specific System Prompt, uses the Recrutei's MCP Tool to accurately find the official
vacancy_idcorresponding to that job title in your ATS.
- The AI, guided by a specific System Prompt, uses the Recrutei's MCP Tool to accurately find the official
- Set Vacancy ID (Set): Extracts the clean
vacancy_id(a number) returned by the AI. - Get Pipe Stages (HTTP Request): Fetches the pipeline stages associated with the identified vacancy ID.
- Create Prospect in Recrutei (HTTP Request): Creates the new candidate (Prospect) in the Recrutei ATS, associating them with the correct
vacancy_idand the first available pipe stage. - Merge Candidate Data (Merge): Merges the prospect creation output with the original form data to ensure all necessary details (like the resume file) are available for the next steps.
- Extract Text from PDF Resume (Extract from File): Reads and extracts all text content from the uploaded PDF resume file.
- Add Curriculum as Observation (HTTP Request): Adds the extracted CV text as an internal observation/note (
talent_observation_type_id: 11) to the newly created candidate's profile in Recrutei.

n8n Workflow: Automate Candidate Creation in Recrutei with GPT-4 Vacancy Matching & Resume Parsing
This n8n workflow streamlines the process of adding new candidates to Recrutei by leveraging AI for resume parsing and intelligent vacancy matching. It automates the extraction of candidate information from uploaded resumes and suggests the most relevant vacancies based on the extracted skills and experience.
What it does
This workflow automates the following steps:
- Triggers on Form Submission: Initiates when a new form is submitted, likely containing a candidate's resume and potentially other details.
- Extracts Resume Content: Parses the uploaded resume file (e.g., PDF, DOCX) to extract its textual content.
- Processes with OpenAI (GPT-4): Sends the extracted resume text to OpenAI's GPT-4 model to:
- Extract structured candidate information (e.g., name, contact, skills, experience).
- Analyze the candidate's profile to identify key qualifications and experience.
- Match the candidate's profile against existing job vacancies to suggest the most suitable ones.
- Prepares Data for Recrutei: Transforms the AI-processed data into a format suitable for Recrutei's API.
- Creates Candidate in Recrutei: Uses an HTTP Request to create a new candidate entry in Recrutei with the extracted and matched information.
- Outputs to MCP Client Tool: Sends the final processed candidate data to an MCP Client Tool, likely for further integration or monitoring within a larger AI ecosystem.
Prerequisites/Requirements
To use this workflow, you will need:
- n8n Instance: A running instance of n8n.
- OpenAI API Key: An API key for OpenAI with access to GPT-4 or a compatible model for resume parsing and matching.
- Recrutei Account & API Access: Access to the Recrutei platform and necessary API credentials (e.g., API key, endpoint URLs) to create candidate entries.
- Form Submission Mechanism: A method to trigger the workflow, such as an n8n Form Trigger or a webhook from an external form.
Setup/Usage
- Import the workflow: Download the JSON provided and import it into your n8n instance.
- Configure Credentials:
- OpenAI Node: Configure your OpenAI API key credential.
- HTTP Request Node: Update the URL, headers (e.g., Authorization), and body of the HTTP Request node to match your Recrutei API endpoint and required data structure for creating candidates.
- Configure Form Trigger:
- Set up the "On form submission" node to receive the necessary input, typically a file upload field for the resume and any other relevant candidate details.
- Test the Workflow: Run a test submission through your form to ensure the resume parsing, AI processing, and Recrutei integration work as expected.
- Activate the Workflow: Once configured and tested, activate the workflow to enable automatic candidate processing.
