Shortlist
Chases candidate and client replies, keeps every pipeline stage current, drafts your submissions, and runs the placement-fee math.
What Shortlist takes off your desk.
Candidates chased
Knows who has gone quiet, at which stage, and for how long — and writes the nudge for you.
Pipelines current
Stages update from your messages, not from you remembering to update the ATS.
Submissions drafted
Candidate summaries written to the client brief, with the gaps named instead of hidden.
Placement-fee math
Percentages, rebates, and split desks calculated the way your desk is structured.
From morning rush to evening wrap.
You don't manage the agent. You delegate, and it reports back — with everything it touched on the record.
Where are we on the Nomura role? Anything stalled?
- Read the Nomura pipeline. Six candidates, four stages.
- Two candidates have not replied in nine days. Both were at final stage.
- The client owes you feedback on Priya from last Thursday.
- Drafted a nudge for each candidate and a chase for the hiring manager.
- Recalculated the fee at the revised base: £18,400.
“Quick nudge on Priya — we are at day six since final. She has a competing offer landing Friday. Can you get me a yes or no by Thursday?”
Three messages queued. Fee sheet updated. Nothing sent until you said so.

Every action, on the record.
Held actions wait for you. Blocked ones never ran. Open a row to read the reasoning.
Reading your own message threads is always allowed under your default policy. No approval needed, and it is still written to the log.
Read-only lookup against the MLS connection you authorised at setup. Nothing was written or shared.
Your policy holds every outbound message to a client for approval. The draft sat in the thread until you replied “send”.
Released by you at 07:44 with a one-word reply. The exact text that was sent is stored against this entry.
Calendar holds on your own diary are pre-approved. Invitations to other people are not — that is a separate rule.

The things people ask about Shortlist.
Does it work with my CRM?
We connect to the CRM you already use, and we're adding more through the beta — prioritized by what members actually use. Tell us your tools during onboarding. Without a CRM connected, Wrasse still drafts from the details you give it.
Do I have to use a CRM/ATS at all?
No. The candidate submittals, client updates, and placement-fee math are built-in skills that need nothing connected. The CRM/ATS unlocks the follow-up and pipeline-status features — drafting from a candidate's or client's stage and last touchpoint, and flagging roles and candidates that have gone quiet.
Can my candidates and clients tell they're talking to an AI?
No — Wrasse drafts messages in your voice for you to send. It doesn't talk to your candidates or clients directly. You see every draft before it goes out. If you ever want it to auto-send a class of message, you set that yourself.
What about confidentiality? My client work is sensitive.
Your agent is private to you. Every action it takes is logged and checked against your rules — and you can replay any of it. Wrasse staff cannot read your conversations or your client data without your explicit authorization. We don't train on your data. See the control overview for the full picture.
What if it makes a mistake?
Wrasse defaults to draft, not send. Every outbound message and every external action waits for your confirmation unless you've explicitly authorized it to act on a whole group without asking. If something goes wrong despite that, the activity log shows every step it took — you can replay or reverse any of it.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from the dashboard, no questions asked. Your data exports on request — full activity log, every saved note, every draft.
