Shortlist is a human capital technology company helping organize and match skilled talent to meaningful work. Based in Kenya, Shortlist serves clients across Africa, India, and the United States. The Shortlist platform automates screening beyond the CV, enabling companies to reduce unconscious bias in recruiting, identify and access "hidden talent", and offer a more humane, transparent, and fair application process for young professionals across emerging markets. Shortlist also offers training and development to young professionals in Kenya in an effort to proactively develop the white collar talent pipeline. The company expects to launch a number of partnerships with upskilling organizations in sub-Saharan Africa to convert high-potential youth into high-skilled employees. Shortlist was launched in 2016 and has, to date, worked with more than 450 companies to build high-performing teams.
