Ok, I ll go first. I m Jack, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call, learning what you re great at and what you want from your career. Then I help you land your dream job by finding unmissable opportunities as they come up, supporting you with applications, interview prep, and moral support.

And I m Jill, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand who they re looking to hire. Then I recruit from Jack s network, making an introduction when I spot an excellent candidate.

• Jack s an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. He works for you.
• Jill is the AI recruiter working for the company. She recruits from Jack s network.
• If it s a match and the company wants to meet you, they ll make the intro. In the meantime, if you d like, Jack will send you excellent alternatives.

This isn t a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack s network.

Sometimes Jill s clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can t share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn t much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we re giving his services away for free.
