What sets us apart
Why Shortlister is the preferred choice for recruiters, educators, and candidates.
- Human-Assist AI
We are committed to the responsible use of AI. By integrating AI in a human-assisted manner, we ensure that our technology supports and enhances human decision-making rather than replacing it.
- Proven, measurable results
With over 10 years of experience, we’ve faced a wide range of requirements, allowing us to develop extensive features to support diverse needs. We’ve consistently delivered high interview completion rates, reduced time-to-hire, and improved candidate satisfaction.
- Expert support, no extra fees
We provide 24/7 dedicated support to all our customers, without any hidden costs or premium fees. Unlike others who reserve their best service for top-paying clients, we ensure everyone receives the same level of high-quality assistance, underpinned by our Service & Product Excellence Charter.
- Customisation as standard
Fully customise every stage of the candidate journey, from branded communications to tailored assessments, ensuring that every candidate interaction is aligned with your brand values and messaging.
- Candidate-first approach
We are candidate-first, providing an easy-to-use platform designed to extract the best performance from candidates. Our intuitive interface reduces stress and empowers candidates to focus on showcasing their skills.
- Future-proof assessment design
With deep expertise in early-talent hiring, our Chartered Occupational Psychologists design bias-aware, AI-resilient assessments that align to real job demands – trusted by leading global brands to deliver fair, effective selection.
The use of AI in recruitment and hiring processes is rapidly expanding, transforming the way organisations identify and select candidates.
This technological advancement aims to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and fairness in evaluating candidates. As AI continues to evolve, it’s crucial to integrate these tools thoughtfully and responsibly to support, rather than replace, the human element in recruitment.
Human-Assist AI
Technology that supports and enhances human decision-making.
- Human-Assist AI
Our platform leverages AI technology to assist, not replace, the human review process. By incorporating AI in a human-assisted manner, we ensure that reviewers can work more efficiently and effectively. Our goal is to enhance the human element, making the review process smoother and more comprehensive.
- Impartial & Neutral AI
We have engineered our AI to be impartial and unbiased. It does not infer positive or negative attributes but focuses on summarising facts neutrally. This ensures that every candidate’s response is assessed fairly and objectively, maintaining the integrity of the review process.
- Assist, Not Decision-Maker
Our AI does not profile candidates or make hiring decisions. Instead, it assists reviewers by providing insightful summaries and highlighting critical points in candidates’ responses. This helps reviewers focus on making well-informed decisions based on comprehensive and accurate information.
- Ensuring Everyone is Heard
Watching numerous video interview responses can be time-consuming and requires significant focus. Our AI ensures that no candidate goes unheard by surfacing all critical details from their responses. This allows reviewers to catch important information without the need to repeatedly watch lengthy videos.
- Creating a Level Playing Field
We understand that some candidates may experience nerves or lack digital interview practice. Our AI helps level the playing field by ensuring that even if candidates do not communicate as clearly, their valuable points are not lost. This makes the interview experience as fair as possible for all candidates.
- Efficiency & Effectiveness
To illustrate the efficiency gains, a typical video interview response lasts around 2 minutes, roughly 300 words at 150+ words per minute. Human reviewers often replay these to extract key points. Our AI condenses each answer into a 100-word summary, cutting review time and effort significantly.
