FROM THE TEAMS USING LONGLIST

Recruiters on working in Longlist

Chris Byrne · Head of Delivery, Marsh RPF

Growing the business

I could say we have seen more than a 20% increase without any additional overhead.

Our business has gone up a lot, and there are two reasons for that. One – the database that we were able to build in quick succession allowed us to promptly reach out to candidates and clients.

Second, I feel more confident that we have all the new technology for recruitment at our disposal.

Brad Chapman · Managing Director, TechSearch360

Getting started

Longlist.io team has been a great support to us from the first day of the launch.

They understood straight away what a newly formed recruitment business would need and helped me to set up my recruitment processes to create candidate and client leads.

Matthew Edge-Wilkins · MD, Talent Seeker

Empowering the team

As the founder of TalentSeeker, integrating Longlist has been transformative.

It's not just about efficiency gains; it's about empowering our team to make smarter decisions and provide exceptional service to our clients and candidates.

LET’S CLEAR A FEW THINGS UP

CV formatting FAQs

Talk to our team
Can I create blind or anonymised CVs?

Not currently. You can hide contact details on the cover page, but Longlist does not remove them from the CV itself.

Can I design my own CV template?

The formatted CV uses a standard layout with your logo and brand colour. You can customise cover-page fields and notes; there is no template designer.

What does the watermark option do?

It adds your agency logo, or agency name, to each page while keeping the candidate’s original layout.

Can I send the CV pack to the client from Longlist?

Yes. Email the PDF to client contacts from your connected inbox, with the conversation logged in Longlist. You can also save the pack to the candidate’s files.

Does CV formatting cost extra?

No. Branded CV packs are included on every Longlist plan. See pricing.
