Upload Candidate CV

Providing a candidate’s CV helps the AI generate better, more relevant interview questions and evaluation.

Pass CV as text


const interview = await client.interviews.create({
  type: 'ai',
  jobRole: 'Backend Engineer',
  candidate: { name: 'Jane', email: 'jane@example.com' },

});

Parse CV from PDF first

If you have a PDF, extract the text first and pass it:


// Use any PDF parser (pdf-parse, pdfjs-dist, etc.)
const pdfParse = require('pdf-parse');
const fs = require('fs');
 
const pdfBuffer = fs.readFileSync('resume.pdf');
const { text } = await pdfParse(pdfBuffer);
 
const interview = await client.interviews.create({
  type: 'ai',
  jobRole: 'Frontend Engineer',
  candidate: { name: 'Jane', email: 'jane@example.com' },
  candidateCV: text,
});
