About Us

We know recruitment. We know AI.

ShortlistOps was founded on a simple observation: recruitment agencies are drowning in admin that AI can handle — but nobody's building solutions specifically for them.

The founder story

After years working at the intersection of recruitment technology and AI, one pattern kept appearing: agencies investing in expensive platforms they barely used, while their consultants still spent half their week on repetitive admin.

The tools existed. The AI existed. But nobody was connecting them in a way that actually solved the day-to-day problems recruitment teams face.

ShortlistOps was built to bridge that gap. We're a UK-based team with deep expertise in both recruitment operations and AI automation — and we focus exclusively on this industry because recruitment workflows have specific nuances that generic automation agencies miss.

We don't sell software. We build custom automations that plug into the tools you already use, save your consultants hours every week, and keep you in full control of every action.
