Founded in 2016, Shortlist offers a technology platform that unifies candidate sourcing channels into a single application flow and then screens applicants through chat-based interviews, online competency assessments, and proprietary evaluation tools. The system aims to replace pedigree-driven hiring with skill- and potential-based selection, delivering interview-ready candidates to employers. Its product is already used by more than 80 companies, including Ather Energy, M-KOPA, MicroEnsure, and Xynteo. With offices in Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Nairobi, the company services clients across India and East Africa. The newly raised capital will be directed toward further enhancing its data-driven talent screening product and expanding automation in applicant vetting. By focusing on demonstrated competencies, Shortlist seeks to streamline hiring, reduce bias, and shorten time-to-hire for its customers.
