Inspiration

Hiring isn't brutal anymore, its a full on crisis, AI has increased the volume of applications per job posting to an all time high, Even referrals get you ghosted. Hiring Managers and HRs need a copilot to help them throughout the hiring process, we started with solving screening first.

What it does

AI resume screener that scores 200+ candidates in 5 minutes. Evaluates work experience, college tier, and resume quality. Outputs 0-100 scores with reasoning so teams only interview the top 20%.

How we built it

Built on n8n workflow automation. Integrates Google Sheets + Drive, extracts PDFs, uses Google Gemini AI for scoring. Handles different link formats, broken resumes, and outputs structured JSON.

Challenges we ran into

Resume link formats were a nightmare. Gemini's output format was inconsistent. Getting the AI prompt to score like a real recruiter took weeks, early versions were too harsh or too lenient.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Built a working end-to-end system that actually solves a real pain point. The AI reasoning matches how senior recruiters think, not just keyword matching. Successfully screened 400+ real resumes.

What we learned

AI prompts are code, spent more time on prompt engineering than workflow logic. Error handling matters more than features. Real products need to handle edge cases gracefully, not just happy paths.

What's next for NarrowedHQ

Turn this into a multi-tenant SaaS. Right now I manually configure Google Sheets for each company. Next: proper authentication, team workspaces, and self-service onboarding so anyone can sign up.
