HRs and Talent Acquisition professionals are arguably the most important people on LinkedIn.
They connect talent to industries
They shape who gets opportunities and who builds the future
They decide who gets seen, hired, and trusted
Yet, one of the most critical steps in hiring is still painfully manual.
SHORTLISTING!
Despite all the tools available today, hiring teams still spend up to 54% of their time reviewing CVs and following up with candidates. As application volume grows into dozens (sometimes hundreds) that manual layer quietly becomes a real pain.
So I built Instant Shortlist!

⚡ Automation Isn't the Hard Part. Knowing What to Automate Is.
Everyone talks about AI, n8n, Make, Zapier, and no-code automation. But there's a step people often skip:
What should actually be automated?
Not every manual task needs automation.
Sometimes the workflow is already too complicated.
Sometimes the process changes every week.
Sometimes automating a bad process just makes the bad process faster. 😅
Before building an automation, I like to ask
→ 📈 Does it happen often enough to matter?
→ ⏱️ Is it wasting meaningful time?
→ ⚠️ Does manual work create mistakes?
→ 🚀 Will automation actually improve the workflow?
Only after understanding the workflow should you choose the right solution — whether that's automation, AI, or simply a smarter process.
Don't automate everything.
Automate what shouldn't require a human.
What's one process in your work that you think is ready for automation? 👇

Good criteria set. One more that has earned me a lot: error cost. Automate the tasks where a missed step is expensive — lead follow-ups within a response window, data that gets entered twice — even if they're not the highest-volume ones, because the ROI shows up as fewer...
I’m currently building a RAG system for an e-commerce company, basically giving an AI assistant access to the company’s own knowledge and product information so it can give useful, context-aware responses instead of just generating random answers.
The interesting part isn’t just connecting an LLM.
It’s making sure the AI can:
→ Find the right information
→ Understand the user’s question
→ Retrieve relevant context
→ Give an accurate response
→ Actually be useful in a real business workflow
Still working on it, but I’m excited about where it’s going.
This is the kind of AI automation I enjoy building, systems that solve actual business problems, not just AI demos.
Building something similar? Let’s talk.
I’ve built something similar for Purchaser, an e-commerce marketplace for automotive and industrial products.
I built a RAG-powered AI agent inside Slack that gives the team access to Purchaser’s product and spare-parts database. Instead of opening Excel and manually searching...
🚀 Import 100 Word Documents into WordPress Without Copy-Pasting
If you've ever had to move dozens of Microsoft Word documents into WordPress, you know how repetitive it gets.
Open the .docx → copy → paste → fix headings → upload images → set featured image → add categories → check SEO → repeat.
Now imagine doing that 100 times.
I built Bulk Import for DocxToWP Pro to solve exactly this problem.
You can now import up to 100 DOCX files into WordPress in one workflow and review everything before publishing.
What you can do:
📄 Bulk DOCX Import
Import up to 100 Word documents at once.
🖼️ Automatic Image Matching
Match uploaded images to their corresponding documents and set featured images.
✏️ Review Before Import
Edit titles, featured images, and individual document settings before anything is created.
🔍 SEO Automation
Use SEO templates with Yoast SEO and Rank Math.
📅 Drip Publishing
Don't publish everything at once. Choose the first date, publishing interval, and specific days to automatically schedule your content.
⚡ Live Import Progress
See imported, failed, skipped, and remaining documents in real time.
↩️ One-Click Undo
Undo an entire import if you need to roll it back.
📋 Import History
Keep track of previous bulk imports.
This is useful for blog migrations, documentation sites, knowledge bases, publishers, agencies, and content teams that manage large amounts of Word content.
🎥 I recorded the complete workflow so you can see it in action.
