Reviewer URL & branding
How reviewer links are white-labeled by default, and how to customize them further.
Reviewer URL & branding
Every reviewer link Shortlistr sends out is white-labeled by default — no Shortlistr branding anywhere a reviewer or client can see.
The link
Reviewer rooms are served from a neutral host:
https://shortlistedcandidates.link/<your-workspace-slug>/r/<token>
- The host is shared across all Shortlistr customers and is only used for reviewer pages. It carries no marketing site, no login, no Shortlistr logo.
- Your workspace slug identifies your firm in the URL. It's lowercase, 3–40 characters, letters/numbers/hyphens.
- The room token is signed and unique per room (or per reviewer, depending on link mode).
What's white-labeled
| Surface | What reviewers see |
|---|---|
| URL | shortlistedcandidates.link/<slug>/r/… — no Shortlistr |
| Invite email | Your workspace name as the sender, neutral subject and footer |
| OTP email (verification code) | Neutral subject line, no Shortlistr branding |
| Room header | Your logo, accent colour, and sender name |
| In-room footer | Neutral "Confidential briefing room" line |
| Exported deck (PDF, DOCX) | Your branding only — no "Powered by Shortlistr" badge |
| Search engines | Reviewer pages are noindex, nofollow |
Changing your slug
- Open Settings → Reviewer URL.
- Click Change slug and type a new value.
- Click Save slug.
Heads up: changing the slug invalidates any reviewer links already in inboxes. Only change it before you've shared rooms widely, or coordinate with reviewers if you do.
Slug rules
- 3 to 40 characters
- Lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens
- Must start with a letter or number
- Must be unique across Shortlistr
- Some reserved words (e.g.
admin,api,pricing,r) are not allowed
Fully branded subdomain (Studio add-on)
If you want the URL itself to carry your firm's brand — for example rooms.yourfirm.com — that's a Studio add-on. We provision the subdomain on your DNS with certificates and a matching email sender. Contact us if you'd like to enable it for your workspace.
What's not white-labeled
Recruiter-facing surfaces — the app you're logged into right now, your account emails, billing receipts — still carry Shortlistr branding. The white-label applies to anything a reviewer or client touches.
