We recently placed a job ad on LinkedIn. Within an hour over 300 people applied.
That's more than we can handle, so we decided to automate the first step in our application process with ChatGPT.
How we did it
Applicants now answer a questionaire as the first step. One of the questions on there is "What's your favourite tech stack?"
We ask this to check if they're focussed on Javascript, as that's our main language.
We give their answer to ChatGPT asking it to rate the applicant's focus on JavaScript on a scale from 1-10.
The ChatGPT magic
If the rating is 7 or higher, they're through to the next stage.
Scaling it up
We do this with 10 questions and that gives us a good filter on an applicant's suitability for the role.
We embedded this into a script that automatically runs on submission of the questionnaire. It automatically sends a kind rejection email (with reasons) or asks successful candidates to book a call using our calendly.
Now we get about 15 vetted candidates per LinkedIn ad.
