Shortlistr turns every shortlist into a partner-quality briefing room — it sources candidates with an AI agent, drafts the brief for each one with quotes from their own resume and LinkedIn, and sends your client a single private link. They read it, click Advance / Hold / Pass, and the decision lands back in your inbox. No login, no PDF attachments, no follow-up call.
Shipped Klarna's checkout redesign. Now consulting; wants to go in-house again.
The JD lands at 4:47pm on a Friday. Paste it — must-haves, dealbreakers, reviewers, comp band are pulled out for you.
You start sourcing before your competitor finishes scoping.
Either an AI agent runs the search and you read its thinking, or you drop any ATS export and the model maps the columns. Both end as parsed candidates.
No re-keying. No spreadsheet limbo. Pick the method that fits the role.
Hand it the role. The agent plans sweeps, considers profiles, refines its query in the open, and ships a shortlist with verbatim evidence — never a black-box score. Run state persists across refresh; you can leave and come back.
Drop the .xlsx or .csv your ATS or sourcing tool spits out. The model reads the headers and a sample of rows, infers what each column means, and saves the mapping per shape — next time the same export lands, it's mapped automatically. Optional LinkedIn enrichment after import.
“Why this person?” — the question you answer five times per shortlist. Each sentence in the brief links back to the CV, the rec, the portfolio.
Answer it once. The brief answers it forever.
Your hiring manager is opening LinkedIn behind your back to second-guess the slate. The compare view ends that — with the devil's-advocate notes you'd have made on the call.
They stop interviewing your shortlist.
The PDF you sent last Tuesday is sitting unread in three inboxes. A Shortlistr room is one link, no login, co-branded with your firm — read like a memo, decided in a coffee break.
Verdicts arrive while you're still at your desk. Three things happen inside the room — none of them need you on a defensive Zoom.
You're not on the call to relitigate the slate. Your client types the question, Shortlistr answers it from the candidate's own evidence — every claim links back to the exact source line. No hallucinated wins, no late-night Slack from you.
Every room is co-branded — your firm × your client's. Download the slate as a print-ready A4 PDF or an editable .docx that opens cleanly in Word. Your hiring manager forwards it to their CEO without editing a thing.
She's done the exact 0→1 motion this role requires — twice. a top EU fintech SMB checkout, an embedded banking co. onboarding.
Monday standup, “any word from the client?” — gone. Live opens, verdicts, the chase queue sorted by silence, the polite nudge that goes out only when it helps.
You always know who's blocked — and you can chase without nagging.
Two to twenty consultants. Your judgment is the product; the room makes it visible.
One person, premium clients. Send something that looks like a team wrote it.
Skip the ATS hand-off. Send the room internally; decisions land same-day.
Shortlistr is in invite-only beta. Walk through a real briefing room first, then open the recruiter app and build your own.
