Wed, 18 Dec 2013The co-founder and former chief executive officer of clothing chain Republic has provided “a significant six-figure investment” into virtual interviewing software Shortlister.com, the start-up says.

Shortlister.com is created by David Dewey, after being frustrated by his own experiences as a candidate.

Both Dewey and Republic founder Tim Whitworth are from Yorkshire, and are now inviting businesses in the region to come forward to use the software for free during a beta testing stage from January.

Dewey says his product provides a branded online interview experience, prompt notification of outcomes to candidates and time savings for employers.
