Frequently Asked Questions

Where do you post my job opening?

We don’t. If you’re like most of our clients, you’ve already posted your job online. Instead, we research & outreach to passive candidates. They’re currently excelling in their role, but would consider your opportunity because it’s compelling.

How is Shortlist so affordable?

Shortlist is exactly the same as the recruiting process you’re used to, except we leave the candidate interviews to you. We pass this cost savings directly to you. If you know how to interview candidates, you’ll save a fortune on recruiting fees.

How is Shortlist so fast?

We’ve invested 5 years building an end-to-end software platform that finds, emails, texts, and prioritizes the most-targeted candidates within hours. We complete your hunt for the right finalists before most traditional recruiting firms can even set up a kickoff call with you.

Are the results guaranteed?

Yes. We’ll introduce you to 10 interested candidates who match your precise criteria, within 1 week. And your Shortlist comes with the Hire-or-Free Guarantee. If you don’t hire a candidate from your Shortlist, you’ll receive an additional Shortlist ($3,000 value) which you can use for any role within 12 months.

How does Shortlist identify the right candidate?

We use over 30 different sources to find your next A-Player. Plus we use algorithms to master Google, premium access to social media networks, industry directories, university alumni guides, and our experience. Frankly, it costs us a fortune. Additionally, we create a custom sourcing strategy for each project. Unlike traditional recruiting firms, we don’t even keep a central database of candidates. As we tell our clients, we “make the donuts fresh every day.” It’s the only way we’ve found to discover the undiscovered talent.

Does Shortlist work outside the US?

Yes. 30% of Shortlists are for non-US roles.

What do recruiting firms think of Shortlist?

I’ll let you in on a secret: 20% of our clients are traditional recruiting firms. We do it better & faster than a lot of the firms you’re familiar with.

What does Shortlist cost?

Shortlist costs just $3,000 regardless of role. This compares to $20,000 to $100,000 charged by traditional recruiting firms per hire.

How long does it take?

1 week from start to finish.

I’m replacing a B-Player. Can Shortlist handle confidential searches?

Yes. 30% of Shortlists are confidential & don’t identify the employer. In 30 years of recruiting, we’ve not had one breach of confidentiality.
