SIA for OneDrive
Screen resumes straight from OneDrive — a whole folder at a time
For most Microsoft-based teams, the resumes they already have are sitting in a OneDrive folder. Connecting OneDrive lets SIA read those resumes directly, up to 200 files at a time, instead of you dragging files onto an upload page one batch at a time.
Connecting OneDrive
In Chat, open Connectors from the sidebar
Find the OneDrive card and click Connect OneDrive
A Microsoft sign-in tab opens — sign in with the Microsoft 365 account that has access to the resumes you want SIA to read
Review the permissions shown — this covers OneDrive access only — and click Allow
You're redirected back to Chat and the card now reads Connected
What you can do once connected
Once OneDrive is connected, SIA can find and use whatever's already sitting in your folders:
Scan your OneDrive 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
Open a shared OneDrive link — if someone sends you a link to a resume, SIA can read it directly since it sits behind a Microsoft login that a plain link can't get through on its own
Read a single document — a take-home assignment, a portfolio, a job description, or interview notes
Save a shortlist or candidate brief back to OneDrive — as a text or markdown file
Try it in chat
A few things to note
Importing doesn't screen anything automatically. You still confirm the screening step before SIA acts — importing and screening are separate actions.
Large batches run in the background. If a folder is too large to process in one go, SIA continues in the background and tells you what it skipped and why — nothing is silently left out.
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.
Saving back to OneDrive works for text and markdown files. Pushing an existing file — like a PDF you attached in chat — into OneDrive isn't supported yet.
Disconnecting OneDrive
Go to Connectors in the sidebar
On the OneDrive card, click Disconnect
This revokes SIA's access to OneDrive only — your Word and Excel connections, if you have them, are unaffected.
