Shortlist

Hiring from the first advert to the first day, fair and on the record.

The problem

Two hundred applications for one role land in a shared inbox. The best candidate accepts another offer while the CVs are still unread.

Who it is for

Any growing organisation, from hospitality hiring in volume to professional firms hiring one specialist.

What it does

• Job adverts posted to job boards and the organisation’s own site.
• An applicant pipeline with clear stages and owners.
• Interview scheduling linked to calendars.
• Structured scorecards, so every candidate is judged on the same criteria.
• Offers, references and right to work.
• Handover to Threshold the moment an offer is accepted.
• A talent pool of good candidates for future roles.

Why it is different

Applicant tracking systems are priced for large employers, so small ones hire from their inbox. Shortlist brings structure and fairness at their size.

AI and automation

AI drafts adverts in clear, inclusive language and summarises each application against the criteria the hiring manager set, showing the evidence for each point. It drafts interview questions and books interviews automatically. A person makes every decision: there is no automatic rejection.
