Why we built this

We built Shortlisted to help companies find the right people faster. Along the way, we saw the same problem again and again: good candidates getting overlooked because their CVs didn't tell the story properly.

CVs too long, poorly structured, missing key achievements, or just not targeted at the role. These are fixable problems — but most candidates don't get feedback until it's too late.

GetShortlisted is our way of fixing that. We took the recruiter insight behind our screening platform and turned it into a tool that gives you honest, practical feedback before you apply.

The problems we keep seeing

CVs that are too long or unfocused

No clear achievements or measurable impact

Poor structure that buries key information

Not targeted to the role being applied for

Formatting that doesn't scan well on ATS

Simple, transparent pricing
