Shortlist ranks sales candidates using an AI scoring engine built for SDR success, so you can spend less on recruiters and more on pipeline.
Post a role, let AI do the sourcing and screening, then pick your top hires.
Describe what you're looking for in plain English. Experience level, industry, location, comp range. Done in 2 minutes.
Shortlist scans talent pools, reads resumes, evaluates sales fit, and scores every candidate. Runs 24/7 while you sleep.
Wake up to a shortlist of pre-screened, scored candidates. Review profiles, schedule interviews, hire the best fit.
Here's what a typical SDR pipeline looks like after one week on Shortlist.
Each candidate comes with a match score, skill breakdown, and hiring recommendation.
Stop sifting through 200 unqualified resumes. Shortlist evaluates every candidate on the criteria that actually matter for SDR success.
That's 20-25% of a $70K base salary. Every single hire. Shortlist eliminates that cost entirely.
The math is simple. One agency placement or one bad hire costs more than Shortlist ever will.
"If Shortlist helps you avoid one agency placement or one bad SDR hire, it pays for itself many times over."

Here's what founders and hiring managers said after their first Shortlist run.
"We got our first shortlist in under 18 hours. Three of the candidates were better fits than anything our last recruiter sent us — and it cost 98% less."
"We were skeptical AI could screen SDR candidates properly. The match scores are eerily accurate. We hired two reps directly from our first shortlist."
"Our last SDR hire through a recruiter cost $18K and took 7 weeks. Shortlist gave us a better shortlist in a day. This is how hiring should work."
