ShortlistIQ
FreemiumAI interviewer that runs first-round candidate screening
What is ShortlistIQ?
ShortlistIQ uses a conversational AI recruiter to run first-round interviews with applicants and produce scoring reports. You can name the assistant, set its tone and give it an avatar, then invite candidates to chat.
The AI asks role-specific questions, such as probing real experience with a tool rather than a yes or no check, and creates a human-like scoring report for each candidate. Recruiters can customize personality traits like formality, humor and emoji use.
Plans are based on the number of applicants per month, from small startups to agencies handling thousands. Sign-up begins with a free account that can invite up to 10 applicants, and there are no setup fees.
