Intelligent Candidate Resume Screening and Evaluation Workflow
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow converts candidate resumes in PDF format into images and leverages a multimodal large language model (Multimodal LLM)—exemplified by Google Gemini—to intelligently “read” and analyze the resume content. It assesses whether candidates meet the specified job requirements (e.g., for a pipefitter position). The process effectively mitigates malicious hidden prompts embedded within resumes designed to bypass AI automated screening, thereby enhancing the accuracy and fairness of recruitment automation.
Core Problem Addressed
Traditional Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) are vulnerable to deception by maliciously embedded hidden prompts, resulting in unqualified resumes being erroneously approved. This workflow employs multimodal AI technology that combines image recognition with language understanding, circumventing the vulnerabilities of pure text extraction. It ensures resumes are comprehended and evaluated in a manner closer to human judgment, fundamentally defeating hidden bypass mechanisms.
Application Scenarios
