# Shortlisted

> Shortlisted is an AI-powered job search and resume builder. It aggregates job listings from 13+ sources (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, Adzuna, USAJOBS, etc.), tailors resumes to specific job descriptions for ATS optimization, generates cover letters, and tracks applications. The product is targeted at job seekers who want to apply faster and to more relevant roles.

The chat-based UI at https://shortlisted.site lets users build and tailor their resume in conversation with an AI coach. A Chrome extension ("Get Shortlisted") brings the same AI tailoring to any job board (LinkedIn, Indeed, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday).

## For LLM developers integrating Shortlisted

3. **MCP tool use**: connect to https://shortlisted.site/mcp and call the `generate_resume` or `generate_cover_letter` tools
