Why this helps
Manually turning a document's requirements into search terms slows down candidate discovery.
- Build a search query from extracted document details.
- Reduce manual transcription of skills into search.
- Return candidate records for focused human review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Algolia once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Describe the outcome: extract relevant skills from the submitted document and search the confirmed candidate index with those terms.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real role brief or resume and review the returned candidates.
Questions about this workflow
Can I search from a job description?
Yes, if Affinda can extract useful details from the supplied document and the candidate index contains searchable matching fields.
Does the workflow make a hiring decision?
No. It returns search results for a person to review.
