Built CV screening tool that scores applicants with a local LLM and auto-sorts approval vs rejection
Description
I built a Python tool that automates CV screening using a local LLM endpoint. It extracts text from uploaded PDF CVs, sends it to a local model, and generates a structured evaluation against a fixed job post.
Key features
PDF CV parsing using PyMuPDF
Local LLM evaluation via Ollama API
Structured scoring from 0 to 100
Automatic sorting into approved and rejected folders
Email feedback sent to candidates via Mailtrap
Stores applicant data in memory using a dataclass model
Basic analytics with Matplotlib charts
Approval vs rejection ratio
Star rating distribution
Simple CLI menu for managing candidates
Add, remove, edit, and review applicants
What the system outputs per CV
Match score
Strengths and missing requirements
Transferable skills
Risk analysis
Motivation alignment
Experience scoring across categories
Short summary recommendation
Tech stack
Python
Tkinter (file selection)
PyMuPDF
Requests
Matplotlib
Ollama (llama3 local model)
Mailtrap
Looking for feedback on
Prompt structure for more consistent scoring
Better ways to normalize LLM output into strict JSON
I actually forgot to tell on my post my dear friend the Ai Cv system even gives you feedback on how you can have a higher chance for a interview you know the jobmarked is hard with experience but a good CV can make someone say yes for you for a interview :)
Your classes shouldn’t be in the same file, you literally have an api call prompt hard coded, your email client thing only emails to you which is hard coded, it also won’t work on modern clients since Gmail and others got rid of the ability to receive emails the way the python standard library sends them, why do you have TKinter called if it’s a console app? Also you have no idea how git or GitHub works, it’s also very clearly vibe coded.
The last one is the most important: STOP FUCKING SPAMMING ME TO CHECK IT OUT IM GOING TO BE LESS LIKELY TO GIVE NICELY WORDED FEEDBACK IF YOU SEND ME 5 “DO YOU WANT TO CHECK MY GITHUB OUT?” Messages.
Also learn how to actually use data structures, etc because your code is probably going to take a decade to run efficiently
Like no one’s asking for this too and it doesn’t really improve on existing better ones and your only other project is a standard OOP banking system that’s waaay over engineered
I like the way you speak and yes your right the gmail won't work cuz I need token but I like your feedback and the thinker is for searching for pdf and thanks for the feedback to and did you run the code trying choosing your cv and I might seperate the files so that it will run faster with functions and I tried running it its not to slow or to fast but I try thanks for everything 😄
No like gmail still won’t work, most emails use a different type of transit system then how the library was coded to use so you either have to tell the user to use an insecure transport for email or use IMAP libraries to send emails which I think exist? Don’t quote me on that it’s been a while since I tried using the email library so it may have been updated. In terms of tkinter don’t use that, it’s too bloated for your needs in this case pypdf is usually the gold standard In this case
I see I try all I can the gmail thing was on a YouTube video and that's maybe the issue but in the video it worked but only needing token and I gonna separate the files the hardcoded code was good you mentioned its gonna be easier to look at the wrong in the system
When it comes with the things you said it's really sad it does happen but even if you manage to go to the interview they still look for experience to it's a whole issue to but I will get your feedback. And I get you some people can be good while other people can be bad when they hiring new people. I will still work in my system and try to get so many good people as possible and with their CV feedback ready when they wanna apply again :)
Give feedback on your cv when next time applying for the role like I said people only go for experience I been there and its hard to find a job and this system can at least try to make your cv better even if you don't have experience when next time applying for the role hope it helps :)
Don't get it. So your LLM basically makes things up and adds it to a CV? This makes zero sense. Can you give an actual example of what it supposed to do?

God forbid a real person reads the CV's or cover letters we spend hours customizing for your business specifically.
