Candidate Shortlist
A shortlist you approve, not one you assemble.
Candidates are ranked by weighted score the moment their interviews finish. Recruiters scan the list, open any scorecard, and move people forward or back. The board shows who decided what and when.

What it does
Inside Candidate Shortlist
Filters that match how you hire
Language, shift preference, location, notice period and test pass lines. Filters use what the candidate told you, never inferred traits.
Shared with hiring managers
Send a shortlist link to a branch manager. They see scorecards and replays, and can approve without a login.
Candidates hear back
Approved candidates get a booking link. Others get a respectful message on the timeline you set, so nobody is left waiting.

Questions
Candidate Shortlist questions
Can the system reject candidates automatically?
No. "Not a match" is a suggestion. Messages go out only after a recruiter confirms.
Can I compare two candidates side by side?
Yes. Compare view lines up scores, reasons and key transcript moments.
Does it work for campus drives?
Yes. Group candidates by college and slot, and approve by batch.
