London's Jack & Jill, which provides AI agents Jack for job seekers and Jill for employers, secured a $40 million Series A led by Air Street, following a $20 million raise in 2025.
London‑based startup Jack & Jill announced a $40 million Series A round, led by Air Street Capital, bringing its total funding to $60 million after a $20 million raise in 2025. The capital will be used to scale its dual‑agent platform: “Jack,” an AI‑driven career assistant for job seekers, and “Jill,” a conversational hiring agent for recruiters.
The company’s agents aim to make the recruitment process more human‑centred by interpreting nuanced candidate aspirations and employer requirements, according to its product profile. By handling initial outreach, screening and matching through natural‑language dialogue, the bots promise to reduce time‑to‑hire and broaden access to opportunities, especially as AI reshapes how talent is sourced and evaluated.
The raise comes at a moment when conversational AI is moving beyond customer service into core business functions. Investors appear keen to back tools that can automate the front‑end of hiring while preserving a personalized experience. For Jack & Jill, the fresh funding will support expansion beyond its London base into San Francisco and other tech hubs, as well as further development of the agents’ language models and integration with existing HR platforms.
What to watch next includes the rollout of the agents in new markets, measurable impacts on recruitment metrics such as time‑to‑fill and candidate satisfaction, and potential partnerships with larger applicant‑tracking systems. Industry observers will also be tracking whether the dual‑agent approach can scale without compromising the nuanced, human‑centric interactions it promises, a test that could set a benchmark for AI‑enabled hiring solutions across Europe and North America.
