Automated Resume Screening and Microsoft Form Submission with RPA
The goal is to develop an RPA (Robotic Process Automation) solution that automates the screening of resumes and inputs candidate details into a Microsoft Form. This will help HR teams streamline the recruitment process, reducing manual effort and errors.
HR professionals often spend substantial time manually reviewing resumes, a process that is both repetitive and error-prone. Missing out on potentially strong candidates due to human oversight is common. Our solution aims to automate this initial screening process, leading to:
- Significant time savings
- Improved accuracy in candidate selection
- A digital audit trail for easy reference and reporting
-
Input:
- Emails with the subject line “STGi | New Hire(s)” that contain PDF attachments (resume forms).
-
Output:
- Extract key candidate details from the PDF forms.
- Automatically populate a Microsoft Form with the extracted data.
- Generate a daily audit report summarizing all processed forms.
- Action: Retrieve and filter emails by the subject line “STGi | New Hire(s)”.
- Action: Download and store PDF attachments from the filtered emails.
- Tool: Use RPA tools combined with OCR (Optical Character Recognition).
- Details: Extract candidate information such as:
- Name
- Education
- Skills
- Years of Experience
- Action: Automatically populate a predefined Microsoft Form with the extracted candidate data.
- Execution: Use dynamic selectors or UI Descriptors to handle variations in form fields.
- Report: Create a daily report summarizing all successfully processed submissions.
- Format: Adhere to the provided report template.
- Action: Implement error management for handling failures like email retrieval issues or incorrect PDF formats.
- Logging: Maintain logs to track errors, processed items, and overall system performance for troubleshooting and auditing.
- RPA Platforms: UiPath or equivalent
- Microsoft Excel: For data manipulation
- Email Platforms: Outlook or Gmail for communication and report sharing
- OCR (Optical Character Recognition): For extracting text from PDFs
