Is Shortlist a recruitment agency?+
No. Shortlist is a creation and practice tool. We do not place candidates, match you to jobs, guarantee interviews or offers, or collect wages or fees. You apply to employers yourself with the materials you create.
Will you write things that aren't true on my resume?+
No. You are responsible for the truthfulness of your application. Shortlist reframes your real experience and flags gaps — it will never invent qualifications, and using it to fabricate credentials is not allowed.
What happens to my resume data?+
Your inputs and generated results are handled under our Privacy Policy (UK GDPR + CCPA). We do not sell your data and do not share it with employers. We do not use your content to train AI models.
Do I need to pay to try it?+
No. The workspace above is free to use with no sign-up. Paid plans add more monthly applications, all templates, personal-brand visuals and interview practice reels.
