An AI cover letter generator that doesn't sound like AI

"I am writing to express my interest…" is how most generated cover letters begin, and recruiters skip them. Shortlisted writes a 250 to 350 word letter from your real CV and the specific ad. It's concrete, has no clichés, and is addressed to the team you're applying to.

1

Built from your CV

Every claim comes from your experience. Nothing generic.

2

Matched to the role

It answers the two or three things the ad cares about most.

3

The right length

250 to 350 words: long enough to persuade, short enough to be read.

What makes a cover letter work

  1. A specific opening. Name the role and the single strongest reason you fit it.
  2. One or two proof points. Real achievements that match the ad's top requirements, with numbers where possible.
  3. Why this company. One honest sentence connecting your experience to what they do.
  4. A confident close. No begging, no "I believe I would be a great fit".

Do recruiters still read cover letters?

Not always. But when the CV alone doesn't decide, for career changers, borderline matches or competitive roles, a strong letter is often what tips it. A weak, generic one can count against you, which is why it's worth tailoring.

Frequently asked questions

Can I edit the letter?

Yes. Copy it into your editor or email and adjust anything you like.

Which languages are supported?

The letter is written in the language of the job ad. English, Greek, German, French, Spanish and most other major languages work.

Is the cover letter sold separately?

It comes with every Job Pack, together with your tailored CV and 3 Interview Lab sessions.
