Tool Pricing Best For
Shortlist Free pilot / from $49/mo Best overall — AI-sourced SDR candidates, pre-vetted and interview-ready
LinkedIn Recruiter $825+/mo Large candidate pool but no SDR-specific vetting; high cost per hire
Fetcher.ai From $149/mo Automated outreach but generic sourcing, not optimised for sales roles
HireEZ Custom pricing Strong Boolean search but steep learning curve and no free tier
Recruiting Agency 15–25% of salary High cost, slow turnaround, and no long-term talent pipeline built
Our Verdict Shortlist is purpose-built for SDR and BDR hiring — combining AI sourcing with an SDR-focused candidate network so you spend less time searching and more time interviewing qualified reps.
