✅ A free Discovery Session for your candidate that’s pragmatic, not generic.
At The Shortlist Coach, I help recruiters:

🎯 Support your shortlist without adding to your workload
When Strong Candidates Fall Short
🔎 When Potential Isn’t the Problem, but Closing the Deal Is
Even strong candidates can miss out when their CV or interview skills undersell them or their positioning doesn’t match what hiring managers are actually looking for.
You're the one who spotted their potential. I'm here to help them deliver on it by sharpening how they show up on paper and during the interview, tailoring their positioning to the role, and removing doubt at a glance.
It reflects well on you and gives them a better shot, without any extra lift on your end.
🙌 WHY THIS REFLECTS WELL ON YOU
This isn’t about handing someone off, it’s about showing you’re backing them with more than just optimism. When you refer a candidate to me:
- They feel seen and supported
- You protect the relationship, even if the role doesn’t land
- You increase the odds they're better equiped for the next opportunity you put them forward for
You're the one who spotted the potential. I'm here to help them deliver on it.
What They Get for Free (via Your Referral)
A 30-minute Discovery Session (Normally $50) to:
✅ Review their current CV, role alignment, and messaging
✅ Offer practical, role-specific feedback and next steps
✅ Set them up for clearer positioning—without obligation or pressure
If They Continue: The 3-Hour Shortlist Session
🛠 Professional Edge & Positioning
Unique strengths are defined, translated and elevated into a CV, LinkedIn profile, and pitch that hiring managers take seriously.
📌 Role Alignment & Messaging
Narratives are tailored based on the requirements of the latest job ads, recruiter insights, and role-fit logic - so your shortlist lands stronger, faster.
🎯 Panel & Interview Readiness
Candidates are better prepared to handle curveballs, behavioural questions, and panel dynamics with clarity and confidence.
🤖 Rapid CV Customisation
CVs are refined quickly and aligned more precisely to real job ads, combining human insight with smart tools to help you present candidates more effectively, build client trust, and avoid losing the placement on preventable mismatches.
🎯 What You Get (Without Doing More Work)
✅ Stronger candidates who align better with roles you're pitching
✅ Faster placement potential with fewer knockbacks
✅ No prep or hand-holding required—I'll handle it
🎁 As a gesture of appreciation, an optional $50 voucher (Coles or JB Hi-Fi) will be sent to you if your candidate proceeds beyond the inital Discovery Call.

How It Works
- Refer a candidate
Just cc me in an email (it's usually easier via the template in the Refer a Candidate button) or send me a warm intro email with me in CC. - They get the Discovery Session
I’ll review their CV and role fit, and offer practical guidance. - Quick thank you (Optional)
For a limited time, if they move ahead with a coaching session I'll send through a personal thank-you in the form of a $50 Coles or JB Hi-Fi voucher.
