How Shortlisting Works

Shortlisting flags your top applicants and opens the optional interview stage.

Last updated October 20, 2026

When reviewing applications, Shortlist the ones you want to keep considering. Shortlisting:

  • Marks the application (and moves the job to "in discussion")
  • Notifies the VA they've been shortlisted
  • Unlocks the optional interview stage — you can start an interview channel, or skip straight to hiring

Shortlisting alone does not create any workspace or connection — nothing changes until you hire.
