ResumeShortList is a founder-led career-positioning service for experienced professionals, leaders, career changers, and consultants whose experience is stronger than their current materials communicate.

## Complimentary diagnostic

The resume diagnostic provides:

- A directional positioning score
- Six weighted category scores
- Category explanations and supporting evidence
- An assessment confidence level
- Priority gaps and practical recommendations
- Role-specific context based on the target role, career level, and optional job description supplied

The six weighted dimensions are:

1. ATS compatibility and parsability, 20%
2. Role targeting and keyword alignment, 20%
3. Quantified impact and outcomes, 25%
4. Structure and recruiter readability, 15%
5. Seniority and positioning, 15%
6. Completeness and screening friction, 5%

The diagnostic is directional guidance. It is not a universal ATS score, an employer decision, a predicted interview probability, or a guarantee of ATS passage, recruiter interest, interviews, job offers, employment, promotion, or compensation outcomes.

## Personalized services

ResumeShortList offers:

- Resume Reset
- LinkedIn Positioning
- Resume and LinkedIn Positioning
- Full Positioning and Coaching Preparation
- Custom support for senior executive, multi-market, and complex career transitions
- Enterprise and HR career-transition support

Personalized work is founder-led and can add direct human review, collaborative positioning decisions, resume and profile improvement, cross-channel alignment, interview-narrative development, and guidance on what should be emphasized, removed, or explained differently.

## Best-fit users

ResumeShortList is intended for professionals whose experience is difficult to communicate clearly, including:

- Experienced individual contributors and managers
- Directors, vice presidents, and executives
- Professionals pursuing a more senior role
- Career changers
- Consultants moving into industry or operating roles
- Professionals returning to the market after a layoff, restructuring, or career break
- International or multi-market candidates who need clearer positioning for a new market

## Founder credibility

ResumeShortList is founder-led by Matt Maunder, an Ivey MBA and former Global Head of Strategy & Operations in the Office of the Global CEO at Colliers, with prior experience at Strategy& and RBC. His background includes more than 17 years in strategy, transformation, operations, consulting, and executive communication.

ResumeShortList does not describe Matt as a recruiter and does not represent that it controls employer hiring decisions.

## Privacy and trust

Resume and role-context information is processed to generate and operate the diagnostic. The upload form does not authorize automatic circulation to employers, recruiters, or professional contacts. The Privacy Policy explains AI-assisted processing, deterministic fallback scoring, database records, conditional private file storage, service email, analytics, deletion requests, cross-border processing, and the current absence of a published fixed retention period.
