Jack & Jill
Jack & Jill is a London-based AI recruitment startup that replaces job boards and resume submissions with two conversational AI agents. Jack works for candidates - getting to know their skills and goals in a 10-minute conversation, scanning millions of jobs daily, and introducing them directly to hiring managers, all for free. Jill works for companies, learning what a team needs and surfacing well-matched people on a success-based fee. Founded in early 2025 by Omnipresent founder Matt Wilson and Kular.ai founder Saaras Mehan, the company raised a $20M seed round led by Creandum in October 2025.
QLU.ai
QLU.ai is a San Francisco-based AI platform built for executive search firms. It scans millions of profiles using live market signals to surface qualified leadership candidates in seconds instead of months, then automates outreach across email, LinkedIn, phone, and text. Founded in 2020 by Fahad Jalal, QLU pairs a 10-billion-plus data-point database with natural-language search, automated market maps, and AI voice callers to help recruiters cut research cycles from weeks to minutes.
SupportFinity
SupportFinity is a San Francisco AI-native recruitment platform that replaces the tangle of separate sourcing, ATS, and assessment tools with one system. It searches a database of roughly 2.1-2.4 billion candidate profiles, auto-generates job descriptions, screens and assesses candidates with proprietary AI agents, benchmarks salaries across 180 countries, and offers a recruitment-as-a-service network of 2,000+ recruiters. The company says it cuts time-to-hire and cost by up to 90% and serves 700+ companies worldwide.
Will Kramer
Will Kramer is the CEO and co-founder of Laila Technologies, a Buffalo, New York startup building HireGPT, an AI recruitment platform that pairs a marketplace of expert tech recruiters with AI agents to screen, evaluate, and match candidates. A Cornell graduate with more than two decades of software development experience, including leadership roles at startups and Fortune 500 firms such as Paychex, he says HireGPT processes over 50,000 technical applications a month and has helped companies cut hiring costs and timelines by more than half.

Nicolas Meunier
Nicolas Meunier is the Founder and CEO of talent.io, a Paris-based reverse recruitment platform that flips the traditional hiring model on its head - instead of candidates chasing companies, vetted tech companies apply to pre-screened software engineers. A Stanford-trained computer scientist and Ecole Polytechnique alumnus, Meunier co-founded talent.io in 2015 after previously co-founding CruiseWise (acquired by TripAdvisor) and working as a senior software engineer at Cruise Critic. Under his leadership, talent.io has grown to serve 2,000+ tech companies and 150,000+ developers across 8+ European cities, raising $11M in funding from top investors including Alven Capital and Ventech.
