From 4 hours of job matching to 10 minutes

Submit a job description and it checks the market survey, the internal job catalogue and the salary structure, returns a primary and a secondary match with a confidence flag, drafts the email to the manager, and writes the whole run back to a spreadsheet so anyone can see six months later why the job was graded the way it was. 01:38 Recruiting, Hay points, and the mentor who taught him Access 03:10 Where to start when work only gives you Copilot 10:20 Job matching, the job nobody says they love 13:49 Screen share, the workflow walkthrough 24:15 How n8n reaches your other systems 29:01 How does it know your pay philosophy 32:37 The judgement AI hasn't caught up to
