The job
Two hundred applications. One criteria set.
A role goes out and hundreds of applications come back. Nobody has time to read them all with equal attention, so the triage happens fast. Later, someone asks why a candidate did not make the list.
Shortlist does the reading at one standard. Every application is held against the same criteria, every match carries its quote, and the reasoning is on paper before the meeting starts. You still make the call. You just no longer have to reconstruct it.
How it works
From stack to shortlist in five steps
- 01
Add the vacancy
Paste the text or upload a PDF or Word file. Shortlist extracts the qualifications.
- 02
Confirm the criteria
Edit them, add your own, and mark each one required or nice-to-have. The set is locked before any resume is scored.
- 03
Upload the applications
The whole stack at once, as PDF or Word. Scanned PDFs work too.
- 04
Shortlist with the evidence open
Candidates are ranked on required criteria first. Open any judgment and the resume quote behind it is right there.
- 05
Export the record
A screening report as PDF or Word for the committee, or the full packet with criteria, evidence, and a CSV summary.
The alternative
Why not a chat window and a spreadsheet?
A chat can score one resume. It will not hold one standard across two hundred, or hand you a packet for the meeting.
The same criteria for every resume
A chat re-interprets the criteria with every prompt. Shortlist locks the set once and applies it to every application in the batch.
The quote behind every match
A spreadsheet holds your verdicts; it does not hold the evidence. Every Shortlist match cites the resume line it rests on, or says that no quote was found.
A report for the meeting
When the decision is questioned, a chat history is not an answer. The exportable report shows the criteria, the evidence, and the human call.
What you walk away with
A record that outlives the meeting
- A ranked shortlist showing, per candidate, which criteria have evidence, partial evidence, or no quote.
- The literal resume quote behind every match, and a plain “No quote found” where the resume has none.
- A screening report in PDF or Word you can share with the committee, file with the decision, or send upward when the question comes.

Questions
- What is Evalgist Shortlist?
- Evalgist Shortlist is an AI resume screening tool. It extracts qualifications from your vacancy text, lets you add extra criteria, and compares each candidate against the same set. For every match, it shows the supporting quote from the candidate's own resume. Candidates are ranked on required criteria first, then nice-to-haves, and you decide who to shortlist.
- Who is Evalgist Shortlist for?
- Hiring managers, selection committees, and panels evaluating a batch of applications against the same criteria, anywhere they need to explain the outcome afterwards. Many teams start with a chat assistant. Shortlist gives them fixed criteria, quotes and a report instead.
- How is this different from using a chat assistant?
- A chat can score one resume at a time, but it re-interprets the standard with every prompt and leaves no record. Shortlist holds one criteria set across the whole batch, cites the resume line behind every match, and produces a report you can share with the committee.
- What happens to uploaded documents?
- Documents are stored in EU-controlled projects, and AI requests are routed through OpenRouter with zero-data-retention routing enabled. Original uploads and parsed resume text are kept while your account has usable credits, so you can inspect what the analysis read. The evaluation result and its evidence quotes remain until you delete the shortlist or your account. When your last usable credits expire, all project data is deleted 30 days later unless you buy or receive new credits. Full details are in the privacy notice and subprocessor register.
- How much does Evalgist Shortlist cost?
- You start with 15 free resume analyses without entering payment details. After that, you buy credit packs in EUR. One credit analyzes one resume, including scans. There is no subscription.
Criteria, evidence, and the screening process
A practical guide and two essays on setting criteria, checking resume evidence, and keeping a record of the decision.
AI resume screening with criteria, evidence, and a record
Use AI-assisted resume screening without surrendering judgment: define one criteria set, compare candidates by quoted evidence, and keep an evidence trail.
AI-assisted evaluation needs quoted evidence
AI-assisted evaluation is only useful when the reviewer can trace each judgment to the source. A score asks for trust. A quote lets a human check.
AI resume screening will not fix a vague shortlist
AI resume screening can make a weak process look precise. The useful version starts with fixed criteria, quoted evidence, and a human decision.
