Shortlist
AI interviewerBeta

What Shortlist does
A fair, thorough first round for every applicant.
Evidence, not gut feel
Every score links to the exact moments in the transcript that earned it, measured against the rubric your team agreed on.
Fairness built in
Names, photos, colleges and accents are hidden from scoring, and every role gets a regular fairness report across candidate groups.
Skills, tested properly
Coding tasks, sales role-plays, case questions and language checks, woven into the same interview.
Candidate-first
Interviews in 15 languages, clear instructions and personal feedback for every candidate — including the ones you don't hire.
Straight to the calendar
Top candidates are booked with the hiring manager automatically. Works beautifully alongside Chhaya AI.

Questions
What people ask us first.
Does Shortlist make hiring decisions?
No. Shortlist recommends and explains; people decide. Any candidate can ask for a human review of their interview.
How do you prevent bias?
Scoring ignores names, photos, colleges and accents, rubrics are strictly job-related, and fairness metrics are published for every role so your team can audit them.
Can candidates cheat with AI?
Follow-up questions adapt to each answer, and integrity signals flag copied responses for a person to review.
How is it priced?
Per completed interview, with volume tiers for campus and high-volume hiring.
