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 every tool call 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?”

Every tool call, on the record.
Held actions asked you first. 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.
A rule you set holds messages to this 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 as we go — 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?
Wrasse writes in your voice and sends from your accounts, so nothing in a message announces an assistant — telling clients you use one is your call, and some places require it. It sends client messages through your connected accounts as tool calls, which are checked against your policy before they go: what your policy allows goes out without asking, anything it holds asks you first, and every one is in your activity log.
What about confidentiality? My client work is sensitive.
Your agent is private to you. Every tool call it makes is checked against your rules and written to your audit log. Wrasse staff see account-level details to run the service, and opening your account as you takes a time-limited support session with a stated reason, recorded in our audit log. We don't train on your data. See the control overview for the full picture.
What if it makes a mistake?
Every tool call Wrasse makes is checked against your policy before it runs. What your policy allows goes ahead without asking, and anything it holds asks you first. If something goes wrong, the activity log shows every tool call it made.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from the dashboard, no questions asked. You can export your activity log from the dashboard at any time.
