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.

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 builds your initial shortlist.

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

Is my role public?

You have the option to make your role Public, Anonymous, or have No Listing at all. If you choose Public or Anonymous, we promote your listing through Meta and LinkedIn ads to drive more candidates to your posting — it just depends whether you want your company name associated with the role. If you select No Listing, we will provide no promotion on job boards.

For more about role visibility and privacy settings, see Permissions and Private Roles.

What next?

Once Jill finishes searching, you'll see candidates in the Search section. Jill will explain why she picked each one, and include small flags or things to verify. Learn more in Search and Candidate Discovery.

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 Shortlisting someone. You can view your overall interview pipeline in the Pipeline tab (or, if you've connected your Ashby, directly in Ashby).

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.
