Jack is 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 helps you land your dream job by finding unmissable opportunities as they come up, supporting you with applications, interview prep, and moral support. Jill is an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand who they're looking to hire, then recruits from Jack's network, making an introduction when an excellent candidate is spotted.

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.
