Screen job applicants from a form
Starts when someone submits the form across Google Sheets, Microsoft Teams and Slack, pauses on a Wait node until it is time to continue, then branches on the check before anything is written. Built for time off, around a "Prepare Approval Packet" step, in 31 documented nodes.
Screen job applicants with Google Sheets and Microsoft Teams automatically. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Recruitment Pipeline' pattern for human resources & recruiting. It starts from a form and orchestrates 31 nodes across Google Sheets, Microsoft Teams, HTTP / REST API. 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. What used to take a morning now runs on its own.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps Google Sheets and Microsoft Teams in step for time off, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓Safe to re-run: records already in Google Sheets or Microsoft Teams are skipped, across all 31 nodes of this time-off build
- ✓A failed Google Sheets or Microsoft Teams call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 31 nodes in this time-off build
- ✓Bad input stops the run for time off instead of landing in Google Sheets
- ✓Branches rejoin before Google Sheets, so a time-off run reports once rather than 31 times
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Google Sheets and Microsoft Teams aligned by hand for time off
- →Time off sequences that run over days and must survive a restart before Google Sheets
- →Intake checked for completeness before it is stored in Google Sheets, for time off
- →Time off work where "Prepare Approval Packet" is still a manual step before Google Sheets

What you'll learn
Architect levelThe deepest tier - sub-workflow delegation, state snapshots, and full observability.
- •Scoring and routing by stage
- •Keeping the applicant tracking system in sync
- •Moving data between Slack, Microsoft Teams and Google Sheets in a single run
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 (Google Sheets, Microsoft Teams, HTTP / REST API, Slack, …). 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.
