While building Ghost-Recruiter, I faced a major dilemma: How much should we automate?
On one hand, AI (n8n + Gemini) is incredibly fast at parsing 500+ resumes and finding technical matches. On the other hand, a machine might miss that "special spark" or cultural fit that only a human recruiter can feel.
My approach was to build a "Human-in-the-loop" system where AI handles the data noise, but humans make the final call.
I d love to hear from you:
Hello PH Community! 🚀
I’m David, and I’ve spent years looking at complex systems through the lens of an architect. When I pivoted into AI automation, I noticed a massive "architectural flaw" in how we hire people: recruitment is drowning in manual, repetitive tasks that kill productivity.
I built Ghost-Recruiter to solve one specific problem: the "Resume Black Hole."
Most ATS systems today rely on lazy keyword matching. If a brilliant candidate doesn't use the exact "right" words, they are invisible. Ghost-Recruiter changes that. By using n8n as the orchestrator and Google Gemini as the brain, the system understands context and intent, not just keywords.
Why I believe this is a game-changer:
Efficiency: It turns 8 hours of manual screening into a 15-minute review of a high-quality shortlist.
Human-in-the-loop: It doesn't replace the recruiter; it empowers them with a "Match Score" so they can focus on human connection instead of PDF sorting.
Transparency: Built for the community, with a stack that’s easy to understand and scale (n8n + Supabase).
I’m launching this today because I believe the future of work belongs to those who automate the noise and double down on human intuition.

Thanks for checking this out, everyone! Just a quick update: I've also prepared a detailed guide on how to set up the n8n nodes for this workflow. If you want to see the "under the hood" logic or have questions about Gemini prompts, feel free to ask here. I’m happy to share the secrets! 🚀
