Build Make Automation to Source and Shortlist Candidates

Project Title
Build Make Automation to Source and Shortlist Candidates for Recruitment Agency
Project Overview
I run a UK recruitment agency and require a compliant automated candidate sourcing and shortlisting system built using Make (formerly Integromat).
The automation must run daily and work across all live job roles listed on our careers page. The objective is to surface high quality, relevant candidates without hours of manual searching.
This is not a scraping project. Any solution that bypasses platform restrictions or login walls will not be accepted.
Objectives
Reduce manual candidate sourcing time
Automatically find potential candidates from public sources
Feed sourced candidates into an existing CV scanner and scoring system
Produce a daily shortlist per job role
Core Requirements

Runs daily on a schedule
Automatically pulls all live job roles from our website

Extracts public profile text or CV links
Pushes candidate data into an existing CV analysis and scoring pipeline
Automatically shortlists, reviews, or rejects candidates based on defined rules
Role Based Configuration
