What is Shortlisting Services?

Shortlisting refers to the process of identifying the candidates from your applicant pool who best meet the requirements of your role.


These are the candidates that have addressed your selection criteria and provided evidence of possessing the right experience and skills in their resume, meaning they should continue to the next stage of your recruitment process for interviewing. 


Nowadays, the average job posting can receive over 250 resumes, and up to 88% of applicants who apply are not qualified. For this reason, robust shortlisting strategies are more important than ever.


Hiring managers report that finding the time to review their applicants can take days, and that is on top of their regular business as usual responsibilities. 

Shortlisting Can Be A Long Process.
