Jack & Jill AI

Jack & Jill AI is a conversational AI recruiting platform that replaces traditional resume screening with voice-first candidate assessment. The platform features two distinct AI agents: 'Jack,' an AI career agent that conducts 20-minute voice interviews with candidates to assess motivation, skills, and experience beyond CVs, and 'Jill,' an AI super recruiter that works with hiring managers to profile roles and match them with vetted talent from Jack's network. For candidates, Jack provides comprehensive career support including personalized job matching, CV and LinkedIn optimization, mock interview practice, salary negotiation coaching, and direct introductions to hiring managers. The AI remembers conversation history and operates as an always-available career coach and mentor. The service is completely free for job seekers, with over 50,000 candidates vetted through the platform (growing to 70,000+ by early 2026). For employers, Jill autonomously sources exceptional talent from Jack's pre-screened network, provides qualified candidate introductions, and manages the initial screening process. The platform focuses on what candidates have actually accomplished rather than where they worked or studied, aiming to remove hiring bias. Companies only pay a 10% success fee on first-year base salary when a hire is made, with a full refund guarantee if the candidate leaves within 3 months. The platform is positioned as a revolutionary approach to hiring that combines the scalability of AI with the nuance of human conversation. Rather than filtering candidates based on keywords or credentials, Jack conducts genuine conversations to understand career trajectories, motivations, and capabilities. This voice-first approach generates automated scorecards and summaries that help employers make informed decisions without the bias inherent in traditional resume screening. Jack & Jill AI is particularly focused on startups and scaleups in London and San Francisco, with active expansion into the broader US market. The company was founded in 2025 by Matthew Wilson (former CEO of Omnipresent, a global HR unicorn) and Saaras Mehan (CTO), and has raised an exceptional $20M seed round led by Creandum with participation from Ada Ventures, Entrepreneur First, and others. The platform targets high-growth companies that need to hire quickly without sacrificing quality, offering a no-risk model (no upfront costs or subscriptions) that aligns vendor success with hiring outcomes.
