Shortlistr has nine features. Each one earns its place. This page is the chapter guide — read top to bottom and you'll know everything.
Paste a job description. Shortlistr reads it and proposes must-haves, nice-to-haves and dealbreakers as editable chips. You drag, edit, delete. The role is the source of truth — every requirement here gets evidenced on every candidate.
Hand the role to an autonomous agent. It plans sweeps, considers profiles in the open, refines its query (broaden, then tighten), surfaces signals as it goes, and ships a shortlist with verbatim evidence — never a black-box score. You watch the thinking in three panes: activity rail, considered carousel, milestones. Run state persists across refresh; you can leave and come back to the same surface.
Drop any .xlsx, .xls, .csv or .tsv your ATS or sourcing tool exports — Greenhouse, Ashby, Workable, LinkedIn Recruiter, your own. The model reads the column headers and a sample of rows, infers what each column means, and proposes a mapping you confirm with one click. Mappings are saved per column-shape so the same export lands pre-mapped next time. Up to 2,000 rows per file. Importing is free; a candidate only consumes one credit the first time you enrich them (profile pull + AI brief completion + room ride). Re-importing the same person is a no-op.
Drop a resume PDF, paste LinkedIn copy, or type from scratch. Shortlistr drafts the brief: a one-line take, a thesis paragraph, evidence quoted directly from the source for each requirement, risks stated honestly, and three sharp questions to bring to a screen. You edit before publish — Shortlistr is your first draft, not your voice.
Curate which candidates appear, in what order, and write a one-paragraph note to your client. Toggle anonymisation per candidate. Send one link. Your client doesn't sign up, doesn't make a password, doesn't learn a CRM.
Your client reads each brief and clicks one button: Advance, Hold, Pass, Need info, Request interview. Their choice records on the brief. You see it the moment it lands.
Open the comparison sheet to see all candidates against role criteria, in a typeset grid that prints cleanly. No score columns. No fake percentages. Evidence side by side.
Notes live on each brief, scoped to that candidate. No more 'reply-all reply-all' on emails about Iris but actually about Malik. Threads close when the decision lands.
Every reviewer link goes out on a neutral host — shortlistedcandidates.link/your-workspace/r/… — with no Shortlistr branding in the URL, the email, the in-room footer, or the exported PDF/DOCX. Reviewer pages are noindexed so they never surface in search. Your workspace slug is editable in Settings; firms who need a fully branded subdomain (rooms.yourfirm.com) can add it on Studio.
