Shortlyst

Shortlyst is an AI-powered talent acquisition platform primarily serving recruiters, HR teams, and sales professionals with a global database of over 650 million professional profiles. The service provides access to personal contact information, including email addresses and phone numbers, to help businesses search for, engage, and hire candidates more efficiently. Its main customers are recruitment organizations of all sizes, from enterprise to boutique agencies, who use the tool to streamline their hiring process and reduce costs. By aggregating vast amounts of professional data, Shortlyst exposes personal information that could be used for purposes other than recruitment, such as unsolicited marketing or sales pitches. This concentration of professional contact details creates a risk of misuse by bad actors for targeted phishing campaigns or professional identity fraud. To protect their information, individuals should be cautious about the professional details they share publicly and can request to have their data removed from the platform by contacting the company.
