Shortlist

Refers to a narrowed-down list of candidates or options that have been selected for further consideration in a hiring process, procurement process, or other business decisions. It is a selection of the most promising candidates or options that have been screened and evaluated against a set of criteria. The shortlist is typically created based on the initial evaluation of a larger pool of candidates or options and serves as a basis for making a final decision. The purpose of a shortlist is to streamline the selection process, save time, and improve the quality of the final selection.

After conducting a thorough assessment of the candidate’s skills and experience, the business coach created a shortlist of three potential candidates for the management position. The shortlist included individuals who demonstrated strong leadership abilities and a track record of success in similar roles. The coach then provided guidance to the hiring team on how to effectively evaluate and select the most suitable candidate from the shortlist.

Shortlist DEFINITION:

1. A list of selected candidates or products that have been identified as potential options. 2. A limited selection of the best options for a job or project, narrowed down from a larger pool.
