SIA for Google Drive

For most teams, the resumes they already have are sitting in a shared Google Drive folder. Connecting Google Drive lets SIA read those resumes directly, up to 200 files at a time, instead of you uploading files in batches manually.

1. In Chat, open Connectors from the sidebar
2. Find the Google Drive card and click Connect Google Drive
3. A Google sign-in tab opens — sign in with the account that has access to the resumes you want SIA to read
4. Review the permissions shown — this covers Drive access only — and click Allow
5. You're redirected back to Chat and the card now reads Connected

Once Google Drive is connected, SIA can find and use whatever's already sitting in your Drive:

• Scan your Google Drive to find where resumes live — SIA looks at folder and file names to locate candidate folders. It only reads file names at this stage, never the contents, until you ask it to screen something
• Screen an entire folder against a job — point SIA at the folder and it screens everyone in it with grades, instead of uploading files one at a time
• Add a whole folder to your talent pool — without matching those resumes to a specific job yet, useful for building a bench of candidates for later
• Open a shared Drive link — if someone sends you a link to a resume, SIA can read it directly rather than you having to download and re-upload it
• Read a single document — a take-home assignment, a portfolio, a job description, or interview notes, wherever it lives in Drive
• Turn a job description in Drive into a hiring workflow — no retyping needed, SIA reads it directly
• Save a shortlist or candidate brief back to Drive — so the output lands where the rest of your hiring documents already are

• Scanning reads file names only. SIA looks at folder and file names to find resumes — it never reads the contents of your files until you explicitly ask it to screen something.
• Shared and team drives are included automatically. You don't need to connect them separately — they're accessible as soon as the main Drive connection is set up.
• Disconnecting doesn't remove past imports. Anything already imported into your talent pool before disconnecting stays where it is — only future access to Drive is revoked.

1. Go to Connectors in the sidebar
2. On the Google Drive card, click Disconnect

This stops SIA from reading or writing to Google Drive going forward. Your other Google connections, if you have them, are unaffected.
