Human-Assist AI.
AI that supports human judgement – not replaces it.
Recruitment is evolving. With video interviews and digital screening on the rise, the challenge is no longer just collecting candidate responses – it’s interpreting them accurately, fairly, and at scale. That’s where Human-Assist AI comes in.
Originally built to support high-integrity screening at scale, Human-Assist AI also powers world-class automated feedback and preparation experiences — making it just as valuable for educators and employability programmes as it is for hiring teams.
At Shortlister, we’ve built Human-Assist AI to bring the best of AI into the screening process — responsibly. It’s not about automating decisions. It’s about helping reviewers work faster, smarter, and more consistently while keeping the human firmly in control.
AI that assists, not decides
Human-Assist AI is built around a core principle: AI should enhance human decision-making, not replace it. Every capability we’ve developed is designed to help reviewers surface insight, preserve integrity, and ensure a fair experience for every candidate.
We call this human-assisted AI — and it underpins everything we do.
- AI Transcription
Every candidate response is transcribed using one of the world’s most advanced AI engines, ensuring accurate and reliable records — critical for consistent, high-integrity review.
- AI Summary & Highlights
Our system distils key messages and themes from responses, creating concise summaries and highlighting what matters most — all without losing context or nuance.
- AI Priority
Helps reviewers identify which applications should be prioritised for attention, based on how fully and clearly candidates have addressed the screening brief.
- Authenticity Indicator
Assesses whether a response is likely to be genuine, conversational, and spontaneous — or overly scripted and rehearsed. It helps flag potential concerns while encouraging natural, authentic answers.
- Identity Verification & Liveness
We use world-leading tools to verify candidate identity and ensure that the person on camera remains consistent throughout. This protects against impersonation, deepfakes, and spoofing.
- AI Question Shield
Protects the integrity of the interview process by delivering dynamic, variable question sets — making it far harder for shared or leaked questions to give candidates an unfair advantage.
As GenAI tools become more accessible, screening integrity becomes harder to preserve. Human-Assist AI is designed with AI-resilience in mind — helping organisations safeguard fairness, detect inauthentic responses, and maintain trust in their process.
Fair. Neutral. Human-centred.
- No profiling. No bias. Our AI summarises facts neutrally without assigning value judgments.
- No candidate goes unheard. Even quiet or less confident responses are surfaced and summarised clearly.
- A level playing field. Our tools help ensure candidates are evaluated on substance, not style or presentation polish.
Supporting students with world-class feedback
While Human-Assist AI was designed to protect and enhance the screening process, its capabilities also make it an ideal tool for training and preparation.
In education settings, it acts as a scalable, on-demand coach — delivering personalised, AI-powered feedback to help students build confidence and improve their performance before they step into real interviews.
- Students receive clear, actionable feedback on every response
- AI-generated summaries and highlights help identify strengths and areas for improvement
- Authenticity indicators encourage more natural, spontaneous delivery
- Question variation tools help simulate real-world unpredictability
For educators, this means offering students an experience that mirrors real assessment — but with the added benefit of scalable, high-quality feedback that’s always available.
