Use AI to create personalised interview questions from a CV

When recruiting, knowing what questions to ask in an interview can be a challenge. You want a balance between asking the same questions to everyone, where the answer helps you understand who’s best for the role, versus, some more personalised questions that will help you find out about the strengths of a specific candidate.

If you’re interviewing dozens of people, taking time to review the CV/resume and devise questions simply isn’t feasible - but now you can have AI do it for you.

In this tutorial, we’ll build a workflow that will work like this:

1. You add a new record (a pdf file of a resume) to an Airtable sheet
2. In Airtable, you check a box to mark that record as “Prepare for interview”
3. This triggers a zap in Zapier which will run
4. The zap will populate the Airtable record with suitable interview questions

These are the exact steps we’ll follow:

• Use ChatGPT to devise some standardised interview questions based on the job role.
• Use ChatGPT to devise some personalised questions using a sample CV.
• Build an Airtable for managing interview questions.
• Turn the PDF into a JPG with ConvertAPI so that OpenAI Vision can read it.
• Use Zapier and ChatGPT to create the interview questions on demand.

Let’s dive in.
