“Agency recruiters are heavily constrained by their capacity, while job boards force candidates to sift through endless listings and inundate hiring teams with poorly-suited applicants.” said Co-Founder and CTO Saaras Mehan.

Since its launch six months ago, Jack & Jill has engaged 49,000 candidates through Jack, while Jill is now integrated into the hiring teams of hundreds of fast-growing London companies. Clients report faster hiring, higher-quality candidates, and lower recruitment costs.

The 12-person team is gearing up for a San Francisco launch as part of its global expansion.

“Jack & Jill is one of the most exciting businesses leveraging agentic AI that we have seen. The significant market traction they have gained at such an early stage is proof of the market demand.

"We have no doubt that Matthew, Saaras, and the team are leading a revolution in this industry, and we can’t wait to see the response in the US,” said Peter Specht, General Partner at Creandum.
