A shortlist is not a pile of CVs
What you should be able to see in a shortlist of site leaders, and what does not belong on it.
A shortlist is a few people you could hire. Each one has been spoken to. Each one can be referenced on projects they have delivered. If a name is there because a database matched a job title, it is not a shortlist yet.
You should be able to see why each person is on it. The project type, the seat they held, and the state they did it in. You should also be able to see the reason they might not fit, said plainly. A shortlist that hides the gap is a sales document.
You should not receive dozens of résumés and a request to “see who you like”. That pushes the search back onto you. The point of a specialist search is that the sorting has already been done.
Candidates should know they are on the list. We speak with a person before their name goes to a client. If you are the candidate, that conversation is the time to say what you will and will not do: FIFO, a particular state, a step up, or a sideways move.
If you are hiring, submit the role. If you do this work and you want to be considered, register your profile.
