Shortlist

Your overnight job search team that never sleeps

Live2025

An overnight job-search team that never sleeps — it wakes up, searches, scores, and briefs you before you do.

The story

Shortlist, end to end.

The problem

Job hunting is a daily grind of searching, filtering, and rewriting the same cover letter. Most of it is repetitive enough that it shouldn't need a human awake to do it.

What I built

An agent that runs overnight: searches listings, scores them against your profile, drafts tailored cover letters, and flags roles that have already expired so you don't waste a morning on them. A brief is waiting when you wake up.

Where it stands

Live and in daily use — mine. shortlist.addslift.com runs the loop every night and hands me the shortlist with coffee.

Why it matters

A clean test bed for agent reliability: scheduled runs, scoring, generation, and knowing when to stop. The guardrails I tune here are the same ones I bring to production AI at work.
