A Quick Look at Jack and Jill AI:
Jack and Jill AI is a two-sided AI recruiting marketplace. "Jack" serves as an AI career coach for candidates, scanning 10,000+ jobs per hour and applying on their behalf with no resume or cover letter required. "Jill" works with employers to understand hiring needs and reaches thousands of candidates simultaneously. The business model is contingency-based: companies pay 10% of first-year salary only when a hire is made (half the typical agency fee), with no upfront cost.
The Mokka Difference:
Jack and Jill AI is a contingency recruiting service with an AI front-end. Mokka is a screening technology platform that empowers your internal recruiting team. These are fundamentally different business models.
- Technology Platform vs. Recruiting Agency: Mokka provides software that your team uses to screen applicants. Jack and Jill AI is a recruiting agency that uses AI to source and match candidates, taking a percentage of salary when you hire.
- Your Applicants vs. Their Marketplace: Mokka screens the candidates who apply directly to your company—people who chose you specifically. Jack and Jill AI matches you with candidates from their marketplace who may be talking to multiple companies simultaneously.
- Your Brand, Your Recruiters: With Mokka, your team controls the candidate experience and represents your employer brand. With Jack and Jill AI, "Jack" (their AI agent) represents your company to candidates—you have zero control over how it communicates, what it promises, or how it positions your culture and opportunities.
- Candidate Choice and Accessibility: Mokka gives every candidate the choice to respond via text, voice, or video—meeting diverse needs and preferences. Jack and Jill AI's conversational agents dictate the interaction format.
- Build Internal Capability vs. Outsource to Agency: Mokka strengthens your TA team with screening automation and data ownership. Jack and Jill AI replaces your recruiting function with their AI agents and takes a cut of every hire.
- All Roles vs. Marketplace Availability: Mokka screens any knowledge worker role receiving high application volume. Jack and Jill AI can only match you with candidates actively in their marketplace.
- Predictable SaaS Pricing vs. Contingency Fees: Mokka charges seat-based software fees (predictable, budgetable). Jack and Jill AI charges 10% of first-year salary per hire (unpredictable, scales with headcount and comp levels).
Key Questions to Consider:
- Do you want to build internal recruiting capability, or outsource the function to an agency (even an AI-powered one)?
- What happens to candidates who apply directly to your careers page but aren't in Jack and Jill's marketplace?
- How comfortable are you with an AI recruiter you don't control speaking on behalf of your company to candidates?
- If you hire 50 people per year at $100k average salary, would you rather pay $500k in contingency fees or predictable SaaS pricing?
- Who owns the candidate relationships and data—your team or the agency's AI?
