Getting Started

Sign up

Head to jackandjill.ai/jill and sign up with your work email address. You will not be able to log in with your personal email.

If someone from your company is already using Jill, you’ll be prompted to join your team. Depending on your organization’s settings, you may join automatically or need an admin to approve your request. For more on how team membership works, see Joining Your Team. If you’re stuck here, feel free to email Support at hello@jackandjill.ai.

Create your first role

From your dashboard, click Add Role. The easiest way to get started is to paste in your job description: Jill will extract what she needs from it. A brief description is all you need, you can iterate on this later.

If you already have several roles live on your careers page, use Bulk import from Add Role instead. Paste your careers URL or jobs page, review the roles Jill finds, then add the ones you want her to set up.

Think of this as briefing a recruiter. Tell Jill what you’d tell a trusted colleague:

  • What does this person need to be great at?
  • What’s the team like? What stage is the company at?
  • What level and compensation range are you targeting? It’s worth being explicit about your compensation range (and flexibility) to allow Jill to match you with the most relevant candidates.
  • Are there specific skills, tools, or experience that matter?

This information will not be automatically surfaced to candidates: it goes into “The Brief”, which is not visible to candidates. You can tailor exactly what candidates see in “The Pitch” — more on that in Introductions.

The setup conversation

After you describe the role, Jill kicks off a setup process. She’ll:

  1. Research your company — Jill looks up your company, team, and hiring context so she understands the environment candidates would be joining.
  2. Build a hiring brief — Based on your description and her research, Jill creates a structured brief that captures what you’re looking for: responsibilities, must-have skills, ideal background, and signals of a strong match. Learn more about the brief in Hiring Brief.
  3. Ask calibration questions — Jill may ask you to confirm details, share reference profiles (people who embody what you’re looking for), or clarify priorities.
  4. Start searching — Once the brief is set, Jill searches for candidates and surfaces them in the role’s Candidates tab.

The whole onboarding, from sign-up to first candidates, usually takes under 10 minutes.

Who can see my role?

There are two separate choices in Configure Role:

  • Team controls who inside your organisation can find and join the role. Where private roles are available, Make private limits access to role members and organisation admins.
  • Promotion controls whether the role is promoted to candidates on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook. You can also anonymise the role, and separately choose whether to allow top candidates to request intros.

A role that’s private to your team can still reach candidates. Jill warns you before you turn on promotion for a private role. For a confidential search, check both candidate-facing controls in Promotion as well as team access. See Permissions and Private Roles.

What next?

Once Jill finishes searching, open the role’s Candidates tab to see new candidates. Jill will explain why she picked each one, and include small flags or things to verify. Learn more in Search and Candidate Discovery.

Your default landing page is the Inbox, where Jill surfaces the most important updates across all your roles — new candidates, intro updates, and messages. From there you can open a role’s Candidates tab to discover people, or Pipeline to follow up with those you’ve saved.

When you see someone you want to meet, click Request Intro. Jill will reach out to the candidate’s Jack, who checks whether they’re interested. If they accept, Jill introduces you over email and you take it from there. See Introductions for the full flow.

From here, Jill works as an ongoing partner on the role: she continues searching, sends you updates, learns from your feedback, and adjusts. Jill learns when you chat with her, and when you give other signals like clicking “Pass” on a candidate, or saving someone. You can view your overall interview pipeline in the Pipeline tab (or, if you’ve connected your Ashby, directly in Ashby). You can also pin your most important roles so they’re always easy to find and filter by.

You can chat with Jill anytime. If you’d like to change anything about how Jill communicates with you, tell her, or head to “Configure Role” to make changes. For more on configuration options, see Working with Jill.
