Reverse recruiting without the $900-a-month price tag
A recruiter works for the company. A reverse recruiter works for you by finding roles, vetting them, tailoring your resume and cover letter for each job, and helping you prepare for interviews. This model works. That's why US firms charge $900 to $4,500 a month for it.
Shortlisted offers the same service, but with a different structure. Our software handles the scanning, while our Cape Town team reviews and writes. This lets us keep the price at $95/month.
