Interview Prompt
Our HR platform receives thousands of resumes monthly as PDFs and scanned images. Right now they sit in an S3 bucket and searching them means opening files manually. We need a pipeline that extracts structured information from every document - candidate name, skills, work history, education - and makes it queryable. Design the end-to-end ingestion and extraction pipeline.
Summary
A thousand resumes. Structured data inside each one.
How This Interview Works
- Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
- Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
