Screen job applicants: PostgreSQL
Starts when someone submits the form across PostgreSQL, Slack and Gmail, routes each kind of record down its own branch, then runs the custom logic in a Code node. Built for time off, around a "Score the Lead" step, in 17 documented nodes.
Screen job applicants with PostgreSQL and Gmail with instant alerts. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Recruitment Pipeline' pattern for human resources & recruiting. It starts from a form and orchestrates 17 nodes across PostgreSQL, Slack, Gmail. 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. Nothing slips through the cracks.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps PostgreSQL and Slack in step for time off, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed PostgreSQL or Slack call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 17 nodes in this time-off build
- ✓Bad input stops the run for time off instead of landing in PostgreSQL
- ✓Branches rejoin before PostgreSQL, so a time-off run reports once rather than 17 times
- ✓Fans the same result out to Gmail in the same run, for time off
Use cases
- →Teams keeping PostgreSQL and Slack aligned by hand for time off
- →Intake checked for completeness before it is stored in PostgreSQL, for time off
- →Time off work where "Score the Lead" is still a manual step before PostgreSQL
- →Time off work that only reaches PostgreSQL when a form is submitted, when someone remembers to start it
Integrations

The template's actual node layout and connections. Node parameters and credential slots unlock with the download.
What's inside (17 nodes)
A look at the node types this workflow uses. No purchase required — full parameters and credentials are yours after you buy.
From download to running in 3 steps
- 1Import. In n8n, open Workflows → menu → “Import from File” and pick the downloaded JSON.
- 2Connect. Add your own credentials on the app nodes - n8n highlights exactly which ones need them.
- 3Activate. Run it once to test, then toggle Active. The automation is live.
What you'll learn
Advanced levelAdds branching depth and audit logging on top of the core pattern.
- •Scoring and routing by stage
- •Keeping the applicant tracking system in sync
- •Moving data between PostgreSQL, Slack and Gmail 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 (PostgreSQL, Slack, Gmail). 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.
