Jack & Jill Raises $40 Million To Put AI Agents on Both Sides of Hiring

Hiring today is an increasingly difficult task, with job seekers inundated with thousands of applications and candidates often hearing nothing back from companies. To combat this issue, Jack & Jill has raised $40 million in Series A funding to deploy AI agents on both sides of the hiring process. London-based Jack & Jill recently secured €34.68 million, approximately $40 million, from Air Street Capital as the lead investor, with Madrona and Antler joining as new backers.

Existing investors, Creandum and Ada Ventures, also contributed more capital. This brings the company's total funding to $60 million in under a year, following a $20 million seed round six months ago.

The funds raised will primarily be allocated towards expanding operations in the United States, where Jack & Jill has already established a presence in San Francisco and New York. The company was founded in March 2025 by Matt Wilson and Saaras Mehan, who were motivated to address the inefficiencies and biases inherent in the recruitment process.

At the heart of Jack & Jill's innovative approach are two AI agents: Jack and Jill. Jack represents job seekers and engages in voice conversations to learn about their aspirations, dislikes, and salary requirements. He scans millions of open roles daily, acting as a tireless career coach. Jill, on the other hand, works with companies to understand the job requirements and research the organization's culture.

She then identifies potential candidates from Jack's extensive network of 350,000 users, who include users from companies such as Ramp, Attio, and Multiverse.

The AI agents collaborate seamlessly when both Jack and Jill deem a candidate suitable for a role and vice versa. This collaborative approach ensures that introductions occur only when both parties are equally interested, fostering a more efficient and effective hiring process. So far, Jack & Jill has arranged 25,000 interviews, averaging 5,000 per month. The company's revenue has increased 40-fold since the seed funding round, with Jill's network expanding to 5,000 businesses.

With the new funding, Jack & Jill aims to scale its operations in the United States and realize its ambitious vision of connecting a billion people with AI agents to streamline the job market by 2030. The company plans to expand its product offerings, enabling agents to communicate through voice, email, and WhatsApp, ensuring a seamless user experience.
