""If you put a job on LinkedIn, you might get 1,000 people applying for that job within the first six hours,""
""Some companies don't even review the applicants that apply for those jobs, because the signal to noise ratio is very, very low.""
"As you might guess from the name, Jack & Jill is a two-part platform. The "Jack" side of the platform handles the applicant side, giving users a 20-minute, AI-powered profile interview before providing them with a select list of roles pulled from online databases. From there, Jack can be used for mock interviews or more involved professional coaching. "Jill" works with employers, building a profile of a particular role and elevating candidates that match its requirements. Like LinkedIn, part of the goal is for both workers and hiring managers to keep an active presence on their respective apps."
Job searching has become bewildering due to infinite-scrolling job boards, reposted listings, unanswered applications, and a rise in fake applicants using AI to apply en masse. Massive applicant spikes on platforms like LinkedIn create a low signal-to-noise ratio that leads some employers to ignore many applications. Jack & Jill offers a two-part solution: an AI-powered applicant side that runs a 20-minute profile interview and surface-matched roles, plus an employer side that builds role profiles and elevates matching candidates. The platform has attracted nearly 50,000 users in London and secured $20 million in seed funding for expansion.
