How it works
Your database, finally useful.
01
Import your existing contacts
Drag in a CSV or sync from LinkedIn via our Chrome extension, and your database is live in minutes. Moving from another CRM? Book a call first. We set up your account so your trial runs while we move your data.
02
Enrich automatically
Shortlists appends verified email addresses, phone numbers, and LinkedIn profiles to your contacts — no manual data entry. Each lookup uses credits, and every seat includes 100 a month, shared across your team.
03
Search in plain English
Type what you're looking for — 'senior engineers in London, open to work, Python background' — and get a ranked list of candidates who fit. No Boolean strings needed.
AI-powered search
Find anyone in your database in under 10 seconds.
Most recruiters have thousands of candidates they've spoken to over the years — and no practical way to resurface them. Shortlists' candidate search understands context: skills, seniority, location, salary expectations, and recency of contact all factor into the ranking. You describe what you need; we find who you already know.
- Natural language search — no Boolean required
- Results ranked by fit, not just keyword match
- Filter by last contacted, availability, or enrichment status
- Saved searches and segments for ongoing role types

FAQ
Common questions.
How does the Chrome extension work?
When you visit a LinkedIn profile, the Shortlists Chrome extension shows a sidebar with that person's details from your database (or a prompt to add them). Click to import — name, role, company, and LinkedIn URL come in automatically. You can add notes before saving.
What does 'enrichment' mean in practice?
Enrichment appends verified contact data to a candidate record — typically a business or personal email address and a direct phone number. We use a network of data providers to verify the data before it's added to your record. A work email lookup costs 1 credit and a mobile number costs 10.
How many enrichment credits do I get?
All Access includes 100 credits per seat per month, shared across your team, so a 3-seat agency gets 300. Included credits reset monthly and don't roll over. Top-up credits can be bought any time and never expire. Enterprise teams (10+ seats) get a custom credit volume.
Can I migrate my existing database?
Yes. We handle data migration for free as part of onboarding, whether you're coming from Bullhorn, Vincere, a spreadsheet, or a LinkedIn export. If you're moving from another CRM, book a call first. We set up your account so your trial runs while we move your data. Most migrations take 2–3 weeks end to end.
Is the data GDPR compliant?
Yes. Shortlists is built for UK and EU recruiters. Candidate records include consent tracking, right-to-erasure workflows, and audit logs. Our enrichment providers operate under GDPR-compliant data agreements.
