NEW TO
RECRUITMENT?

No recruitment experience? No worries! You don’t need to be a recruiter to join shortlist. You do need to have excellent communication skills, the ability to build great relationships, intrinsic curiosity, and a strong desire to partner with amazing organizations to match great talent to great opportunities.

ARE YOU A RECRUITMENT PROFESSIONAL?

Terrific! We find prior recruiters can be a great fit, particularly if you don’t mind learning a few new tricks and using tech and assessments in some creative ways. We provide a chance to hone your search skills, work with global clients and develop life-long transferable skills.

Our Values
We believe in the power of culture.

Own it

Be your best, even when no one is looking. High standards are contagious. Generate discipline. Drive for results.

Act with intention

Do the work to get clear. Buck convention. Big goals start with small steps; step with purpose.

Find the adventure

Changing the world should be fun. Inject romance into the everyday. Be bold. Dream loud. Swashbuckle.

Be a whole person

We’re more than our work. Seek balance and health. Learn from differences. Unlock your potential.

One team

Teammates come first. Feedback is a gift. “We” instead of “I”. When the team wins, we all win.
