About GetShortlistd

Job hunting is exhausting. We know, because we've been there.

You find a role that fits. You spend an evening rewriting your CV, tweaking your cover letter and answering the same questions on yet another application form. You press submit, and then you hear nothing. No reply, no feedback, just a rejection email weeks later, or silence.

Then you do it all again. And again.

Today, the first "person" reading your CV often isn't a person at all.

Most employers now use applicant tracking systems and AI screening to filter applications before a recruiter ever sees them. A popular role can attract hundreds of applicants within days, and many of them now use AI to apply in bulk. A strong CV can be filtered out just because it doesn't use the words the employer used, or doesn't show the skills they asked for most.

That doesn't make you a weak candidate. It means your CV isn't speaking the employer's language yet.

GetShortlistd was started in Nottingham by a recent accounting and finance graduate who went through the long, draining job search himself. He saw what a lot of applicants miss: every job advert tells you exactly what the employer wants, if you know how to read it.

So GetShortlistd reads it for you. Paste in the job description and your CV, and in seconds you'll see:
