Screen candidates: Airtable
Starts when someone submits the form across Airtable, Slack and Google Sheets, pulls structured fields out of free text, then branches on the check before anything is written. Built for screening, around a "Collect Raw Text" step, in 22 documented nodes.
Screen candidates with Airtable and Microsoft Teams end to end. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Recruitment Pipeline' pattern for human resources & recruiting. It starts from a form and orchestrates 22 nodes across Airtable, Slack, Google Sheets. It uses n8n's LangChain AI nodes (Agent/Chain + chat model). Retry-on-fail is enabled on external calls. Import the JSON, add your credentials, and adapt the parameters. The result is a hands-off process that just works.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps Airtable and Slack in step for screening, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓Safe to re-run: records already in Airtable or Slack are skipped, across all 22 nodes of this screening build
- ✓A failed Airtable or Slack call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 22 nodes in this screening build
- ✓Branches rejoin before Airtable, so a screening run reports once rather than 22 times
- ✓Every screening run leaves an audit row behind, alongside Airtable
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Airtable and Slack aligned by hand for screening
- →Intake checked for completeness before it is stored in Airtable, for screening
- →Screening work where "Collect Raw Text" is still a manual step before Airtable
- →Screening work that only reaches Airtable when a form is submitted, when someone remembers to start it

What you'll learn
Production levelProduction-grade: idempotency, dead-letter handling, and reconciliation included.
- •Parsing applications into structured candidate records
- •Scoring and routing by stage
- •Keeping the applicant tracking system in sync
Every node carries its own documentation on the canvas, plus notes explaining why the architecture was built this way, a credential setup guide, troubleshooting, and three practice exercises. Sample data comes pinned to the trigger, so you can hit Execute and watch data flow before connecting a single account.
Common questions
What exactly do I get?
The complete, ready-to-import n8n workflow as a JSON file, delivered instantly after payment. Import it into your own n8n (cloud or self-hosted), add your credentials, and it runs.
How do I import it into n8n?
In n8n, open Workflows, click the three-dot menu, choose “Import from File”, and select the downloaded JSON. Then connect your own app credentials on the highlighted nodes.
Do I need anything else for it to work?
You need your own n8n instance and accounts/credentials for the apps this workflow connects to (Airtable, Slack, Google Sheets, Microsoft Teams). No coding is required.
What if it doesn't work for me?
If the file is faulty, won't import, or isn't as described, contact us within 7 days and we'll fix it or refund you - see our refund policy.
Can I modify or resell it?
You can freely adapt and use it in your own or your clients' projects. Reselling or redistributing the template file itself is not permitted.
