What it does
Cutshort is an India-focused career-matching service with a strong technology and startup presence. Its candidate workflow begins with a resume and company invitations, while job and employer directories provide other ways to explore opportunities.
A resume-led matching service depends on a clear account of the work you can demonstrate. Cutshort presents a workflow of uploading a resume and receiving invitations from companies, so make technical experience and the direction of the next move precise. The employer then handles interviewing and hiring decisions.
The directories are useful before creating that profile. Technology categories include frontend, backend, mobile and DevOps, while business and design routes cover work beyond engineering. Company collections can help identify product businesses or funded startups in Indian cities. Use those categories to investigate the kinds of teams you want to hear from. The site’s employer pricing and hiring tools have a separate path, so they should not be read as candidate-access terms.
Cutshort’s pricing page explicitly says the service is free for candidates. Its subscription and assisted-recruitment prices apply to employers, so they are separate from uploading a candidate resume and receiving company invitations.
