Recruiters spend 65% of their week
on work that doesn't need a human.

01

Drop the brief

Describe the role, the must-haves, the nice-to-haves. Shortlyst understands context, not just keywords.

02

Agent goes to work

Overnight, Shortlyst scans profiles, evaluates fit, crafts personalized outreach, and starts conversations on your behalf.

03

Shortlist lands in your inbox

By morning, you have a ranked list of candidates who responded, scored by experience, skills, and culture fit.

🔍

Deep sourcing

Goes beyond LinkedIn. Shortlyst searches across job boards, GitHub, personal sites, portfolios, and public databases to find candidates your competitors miss.

Personalized outreach

Every email references real work, real projects, real reasons this role fits. No templates. Response rates 3x higher than bulk outreach.

📊

Fit scoring

Candidates ranked on skills match, experience depth, location, and availability. You see the reasoning, not just a number.

Works overnight

Submit a brief at 6pm. Wake up to a shortlist at 8am. Shortlyst runs continuously so your pipeline never stops.

The best recruiter on your team
will be an AI agent.

Not because it replaces judgment. Because it handles the 23 hours of grunt work so you can spend your time where it actually matters: selling the role, building relationships, and closing the hire.

Built in Manchester. For recruiters who'd rather close than source.
