"Shortlister - A great recruitment tool"

5/5

What do you like best about Shortlister?

"We recruit in high volumes and have a large number of candidates that we have to schedule in and screen - this can be a time consuming and costly task. We wanted to streamline our recruitment process.

With Shortlister we are able to bulk invite candidates to complete a pre-designed, branded online interview at a time convenient to the applicant. We then share the candidate's video responses with internal stakeholders and decision makers - enabling greater collaboration within the organisation.

We also like that Shortlister are upfront and transparent in their communication of their costs. The interface itself is clean and intuitive, which enabled a smooth transition from our previous telephone interview process. On top of this they have a proven track record in delivering a great candidate experience." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shortlister?

Some technophobe candidates will refuse to use it, This means that at times we are making additional calls and then the process is not standard for all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shortlister solving and how is that benefiting you?

"Using Shortlister has significantly reduced the time East Midlands Trains spend on second stage screening, allowing our team to spend more time on attracting candidates and refining our screening at other stages.

By using video interviews to engage our candidates we have also increased our invite/attendance ratio at recruitment events from 75% to 97%.

Furthermore, we now use Shortlister's solution as an online rules test to assess candidates capabilities for technical roles - this really helps us in understanding whether or not an applicant has the technical capability required without them having to make a potentially long journey just to learn that at in person assessment."
