Case studies

Hiring Funnel Automation

We were hiring maths tutors in Indonesia at volume. Paid-social leads dropped into a Google Sheet, and everything after that was manual — it ate an enormous amount of time, and in practice the team quietly avoided the channel.

Problem

Leads landed in a Google Sheet and everything after that was manual — open a row, message the person, chase them for a CV, decide alone whether they were worth an interview.

Solution

An n8n bot that picks up new leads, knocks out anyone failing the hard criteria, asks the rest for a CV on WhatsApp, scores it with an LLM, and books whoever passes onto a group interview.

Lead → HR interview conversion: manual handling versus the automated funnel

How it works

1

n8n Workflows

Lead intake from Google Sheets, knockout filters, WhatsApp conversation branches, inbound CV handling, logging and error alerting.

2

WhatsApp Bot

First touch minutes after the click, CV request, automatic nudges for non-responders, and the group interview invitation.

3

AI CV Scoring

CV in, a 1–10 score and a short summary against the role out, then the decision: interview at score ≥ 8, otherwise a polite decline.

4

Huntflow Integration

Candidates land in Huntflow automatically, with the CV and the scoring result attached.

5

Recruiter Dashboard

Pipeline by status, filters, AI summaries, HR assignment, and a needs-attention panel for scoring failures.

6

Knockout Criteria

Rules that filter at the door, before a lead ever reaches a recruiter.
