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. • Step 1.

Talk to Jack so he can understand your experience and ambitions • Step 4. Jack will make sure Jill (the AI agent working for the company) considers you for this role • Step 5. If Jill thinks you're a great fit and her client wants to meet you, they will make the introduction • Step 6. If not, Jack will find you excellent alternatives. All for free • We never post fake jobs • This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network. • 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.
