Process

How we work

01

Share your JD

Send us the role. We respond within a day to confirm whether we can run the search. PKR 50,000 refundable deposit to start — credited toward success fee on hire.

02

We vet, you wait

We screen candidates across 5 dimensions: technical fit, communication, role relevance, availability, and stability. Every candidate gets a scored profile before you see them.

03

Shortlist in 72h

You receive 3–5 one-page profiles — interview-ready, matched on tech stack, salary range, notice period, and confirmed availability. If we miss the 72h window, deposit refunded.

The vetting rubric

5 dimensions.
Every candidate.

No candidate reaches your inbox without passing all five. This is what a scored profile actually looks like.

Technical fit
35%

Stack depth, real project ownership, and role relevance.

—Can they explain architecture decisions they made?
—Have they owned production systems — not just contributed?
—Is the stack a direct match or requires significant ramp-up?
Communication
20%

Spoken English clarity, responsiveness, and ability to explain work simply.

—Can they describe their last project without jargon?
—Do they respond clearly to follow-up questions?
—How do they handle ambiguity?
Role relevance
20%

Exact role match, domain experience, and seniority fit.

—Fintech, SaaS, e-commerce — does domain experience transfer?
—Are they mid-level or being stretched?
—Have they worked in a similar product environment?
Availability
15%

Notice period, active job search status, and realistic comp expectations.

—Are they actively looking or passively browsing?
—Is their salary expectation within your range?
—What's the realistic start date?
Stability
10%

Tenure history, consistency, preparation, and reliability signals.

—Have they stayed at roles for meaningful periods?
—Did they prepare for this screening?
—Any red flags in work history?
The Product

One-page profiles. Not raw CVs.

Every candidate comes with a structured one-pager: stack, projects, salary, notice period, communication notes, and why they're matched to your role.

This is what makes us different from a recruiter forwarding PDFs. You're buying candidate intelligence.

✓Technical score with reasoning
✓Live availability confirmed
✓Communication quality rated
✓Role-fit justification included
✓Risks and red flags surfaced

Hiring managers
speak for themselves.

Every quote is from a real search. Names and companies shared with permission.

We've used three recruitment agencies before. ReadyShortlist is the only one that sent us candidates we actually wanted to interview — and all five profiles arrived within 48 hours.

CTO · Meezan Pay (Fintech)

The scored profiles changed how we run our hiring loop. We knew exactly what to probe in the interview because the vetting notes flagged the right things. Hired our backend lead in 10 days.

Head of Engineering · Bookwise (Remote-first SaaS)

I was skeptical about a 72-hour guarantee. They delivered 4 profiles in 36 hours. Two passed our technical round. We made an offer within the week. The deposit was credited — no friction.

Common questions

Everything you need to know.

Within 24 hours of receiving your JD and deposit confirmation. We review the role, confirm fit, and begin sourcing immediately.

We stand behind the quality. If none of the 3–5 profiles meet your bar, we'll run a second search at a reduced rate after a brief calibration call.

Backend engineers, full-stack engineers, and data/AI engineers only. Mid-level (2–6 years experience). We don't do junior, we don't do senior principal, and we don't do non-engineering roles.

PKR 50,000 upfront. Fully credited toward the success fee on hire. Refunded automatically if we don't deliver 3 qualified candidates within 72 hours.

Yes — and we flag candidates' timezone preference, remote comfort, and PKT availability in every profile. Success fee is 15% for international/remote roles.

10% of first-year gross salary for local PKR-denominated roles. 15% for USD/international roles. Invoiced on the candidate's confirmed start date — not offer date.
