An autonomous AI recruiter that sources candidates, screens them against your requirements, and delivers a ranked shortlist. No recruiter fees. No waiting weeks. Just qualified people, ready to interview.
Agencies take 15-25% of first-year salary. For a $120k engineer, that's $24,000 to find someone you could have found yourself.
Recruiters spend up to 30 hours per week just sourcing. That's a full-time job doing keyword searches on LinkedIn.
Screening resumes, writing outreach, scheduling calls. 80% of recruiting is pattern matching and messaging. AI does both better.
Six weeks from posting to offer. Every week a role stays open costs you productivity, momentum, and your best candidates walk.
Shortlist works like a recruiter who never takes a lunch break, never forgets to follow up, and gets smarter with every hire.
Tell Shortlist what you're looking for in plain English. Skills, experience, location, culture fit. No job-board formatting required.
