AI Applicant Screener Automation with Make

A simple, scalable workflow built to help freelancers, founders, and small teams screen applicants faster — using AI, not manual guesswork.

Whether you’re hiring for a short-term project or building a remote team, it can be time-consuming to review every portfolio and form submission. This automation removes the bottleneck by using ChatGPT to qualify applicants based on project relevance, experience, and portfolio strength — and logs everything into Notion for easy review.

What’s Inside:

✅ Tally Form Template – A pre-built intake form to collect structured applicant info (skills, portfolio, project interest, etc.)

✅ Make Scenario Blueprint (.json) – Plug-and-play automation that connects Tally to ChatGPT and logs into Notion

✅ ChatGPT Prompt Template – Pre-written prompt to evaluate fit score, portfolio relevance, strengths, and red flags

✅ Notion Database Setup Guide – Full guide on how to structure and integrate your Notion database for clean applicant tracking

✅ Step-by-Step Setup Tutorial – Walkthrough to help you go from zero to live in under 30 minutes (with no-code experience)

Who Is This For?

🧑‍💼 Freelancers & Solo Operators – Automate applicant filtering without spending hours reading form entries

🏢 Small Agencies & Studios – Standardize how you qualify and track applicants across projects

🧑‍💻 Recruiters & HR Professionals – Pre-screen candidates faster with consistent, AI-assisted evaluations

By using this AI Applicant Screener, you’ll spend less time reviewing unqualified leads and more time speaking with candidates who are actually a good fit.

This is a basic automation — but you can expand it with:

• Slack alerts
• Trait tagging
• Rejection emails
• CRM or Airtable syncing
• Multi-role branching logic
