Why partner with us
Real recurring income
30% of $19/mo Pro = $5.70 per active subscriber, every month, for as long as they stay subscribed. Refer 20 active Pro subscribers and that's $114/mo — and it keeps compounding.
Real-world sales experience
Cold outreach, conversion tracking, pipeline management, commission-based results. Genuine, marketable sales skills you can put on your resume and LinkedIn — honestly.
A product worth recommending
Shortlisted never invents jobs, employers, degrees, skills, or metrics. We help real candidates present their real experience in the language of the role. Honest AI you can stand behind.
Free Pro account on us
Every affiliate gets a complimentary Pro account — unlimited tailored applications, AI refinement, Opportunity Match, application tracking, and skill gap recommendations. The best affiliates recommend from experience.
What you'll be promoting
A complete job search toolkit — not just a resume rewriter
Shortlisted helps seekers present their real experience in the language of each specific role — and keeps their entire search organized in one place. Here's what your referrals actually get:
Tailored applications in 60 seconds
Upload a resume, paste a job description, get a rewritten draft that mirrors the role's vocabulary and puts the most relevant experience first. No invented metrics, no fake skills — just their real background, repositioned.
Matching cover letters
Every tailored application bundles a resume and a role-specific cover letter generated at the same time. No starting from scratch, no generic templates.
Refine with AI
After tailoring, users can ask the AI to tighten a bullet, soften the tone, or shorten the cover letter — for up to 3 days. Guardrails prevent re-targeting to a different role.
Track Applications
Every tailored application saved in one place — Applied → Interview → Offer — with follow-up reminders when a role goes quiet.
Opportunity Match (Pro)
Pro scans fresh roles each week, ranks them against the user's resume, and turns the best matches into one-click tailored applications.
Skill Insights (Pro)
Shortlisted reads across every saved application and surfaces the recurring gaps — then suggests concrete ways to build those skills while the search is active.
Export anywhere
Download every tailored application as PDF, Word (.docx), Rich Text, or open it straight in Google Docs.
The honest AI difference
Most AI resume tools will write whatever sounds good. Shortlisted won't. The AI is explicitly trained never to invent credentials, fabricate metrics, inflate titles, or add skills the user doesn't have. Every rewrite is grounded strictly in what the candidate already wrote. That's what makes it something you can genuinely recommend — your audience won't get burned by output they can't stand behind.
What your referrals pay
1 tailored application — try before subscribing
10 tailored applications / month, AI refinement, tracking, all export formats
Opportunity Match + skill gap recommendations
Your commission: 30% of every payment, for the life of their subscription.
How the affiliate program works
Get your unique referral link
Every signup that comes through your link is automatically tracked and credited to you via Lemon Squeezy.
Earn 30% recurring, every month
You earn 30% of every subscription payment your referrals make — every month, for the life of their subscription. Recurring, not a one-time payout.
Get paid monthly
Lemon Squeezy batches commissions until they reach $50, then pays out on the 14th and 28th of each month. Commissions are held for 30 days to cover refund clawbacks.
Refer freely — no exclusivity
Promote other tools too if you want. We don't require exclusivity. The only paid-search restriction: no Google Ads bidding on 'Shortlisted' or 'get-shortlisted'.

The fine print, in plain English
- Commission rate
- 30% of every payment, for the life of each referring customer's subscription, while your affiliate status is active.
- Attribution
- Last-click. Whoever's link the customer clicked most recently before subscribing earns the commission.
- Minimum payout
- $50. Lemon Squeezy batches commissions and pays out on the 14th and 28th of each month.
- Refund clawback
- If a referred customer is refunded within 30 days, that payment's commission is reversed. Commissions are held for 30 days to cover this.
- Brand guidelines
- No outcome guarantees (e.g. 'guaranteed to get you a job'). No misrepresenting what the product does. We're an honest AI tool — promotion has to reflect that.
- Customer support
- Send any questions or issues from your referrals to support@get-shortlisted.com. Our team handles it.
