About

I got tired of paying recruiters $20K to send me candidates I could've found myself if I had 40 extra hours a week. So I built the tool instead. Shortlist is an AI recruiter for sales roles. You describe the hire you need, it sources real, qualified candidates and delivers them to you. SDRs, BDRs, AEs. No agencies, no per-hire fees, no LinkedIn doom-scrolling. We only do sales hiring right now because we'd rather be great at one thing than mediocre at ten. Free to try.

Hey from Midwest. Building Shortlist, prepping for launch, trying not to lurk.

Hey, I'm Curtis.

Building Shortlist. AI that finds SDR/BDR/AE candidates for you. Tell it the role, get real candidates back. Free to try.

I've also worked for years in BD & Onboarding so I have first hand experience onboarding new employees as well as the field I'm specifically targeting. Started Shortlist because I kept seeing the same problem: founders spending weeks and $20K+ trying to hire one sales rep when the whole process could be 10x faster.

Prepping for a PH launch soon and want to actually be part of the community here, not just show up on launch day asking for support. So here I am.

Will AI agents fully replace humans, and what is the ceiling of their capacity?

Last week Garry Tan (CEO of Y Combinator) shared his entire Claude Code setup on GitHub and called it "god mode."

He's sleeping 4 hours a night. Running 10 AI workers across 3 projects simultaneously. And openly saying he rebuilt a startup that once took $10M and 10 people. Alone, with agents.

How do you decide what features should be free and what should be paid?

Let me start from the creator s perspective:
I personally don t have a product (apart from hiring people for creative work or offering personal consultations).

But as a creator, I constantly share content, insights, and information, value that helps me build trust (for free). Based on that perceived expertise, people eventually decide to work with me (a paid service).
