Jack & Jill: AI recruiters & Slack integration launch
Saras, CTO and co-founder of AI recruitment agency Jack & Jill, updates on growth to 20 people across Shoreditch, San Francisco and a newly launched New York operation, with users up ~100x year over year. He explains that candidates use the platform to reflect on what they want from their careers, describes the trend toward generalist "founding operator/engineer" roles, and announces the Jack & Jill Slack integration that puts the Jill agent into hiring managers' Slack. He predicts recruiting will follow coding, with AI handling the grunt work while interview processes become more human.

Jack & Jill founders on their $20M seed round
Jack & Jill founders Matt and Saras join fresh off announcing a $20 million seed round led by Creandum. They explain the two-sided product — Jack, a free AI career agent that interviews candidates, and Jill, an AI internal recruiter that knows companies deeply — charging a ~10% success fee on hires, roughly half a traditional agency's rate, arguing AI plus recruiter-grade nuance can outperform agencies. They discuss expanding from London tech startups to San Francisco, deploying the round across two products and multiple markets, and hiring former Fyxer CMO Frankie for consumer marketing. After they leave, the hosts note that building B2B and B2C at once fails 99 times out of 100, but are bullish on this team.
