Terms of service

What this service is

Shortlist is an introduction service. For the hiring shortlist, we research and confirm freelancers and introduce them to you. For content pieces, we produce a finished piece to a fixed scope. We are not an employer, not a staffing agency, and not a party to any contract between you and a freelancer.

Hiring shortlist — $49

• The $49 buys one shortlist for one role: 3–5 freelancers with confirmed availability and rates, delivered within 48 hours of us receiving your brief.
• If we cannot confirm at least 3 people, we refund the $49 in full instead of delivering a shortlist.
• You hire and pay freelancers directly, on whatever terms you agree with them. We take no cut of their pay.
• The shortlist is an introduction, not a guarantee of a hire, of work quality, or of any outcome. We do not run background checks or verify identities.

Success-fee option

Instead of $49 upfront, you may agree in writing with us before any introduction that you will pay 10% of the first month's pay when you sign a contract with an introduced freelancer and pay their deposit. This must be agreed before the introduction; it cannot be applied after the fact. If no written agreement exists before the introduction, the $49 upfront price applies.

Content pieces — $30 / $45 / $60

• Each price covers one piece to the package scope stated on the pricing page, including the creator's fee and one revision round for small fixes.
• Delivery is by email. You own the finished file for your own use once paid.
• We do not promise a specific style beyond the brief and references you provide, and we do not redo a piece because you changed the brief after delivery — a new brief is a new order.

Acceptable use

Use the service for lawful hiring and lawful content. Don't use it to harvest freelancer contacts for resale, spam, or mass outreach. If you do, we may refuse future orders.

Liability

Our total liability for any order is limited to the amount you paid for that order. We are not liable for the acts, work, or availability of any freelancer, or for any employment decision you make.

Changes

We may change these terms; the version on this page at the time you pay is the version that applies to your order. Refunds are governed by the refund policy.
