Personal Job Coach vs Jack and Jill: Employer Introductions or an Application Toolkit?

Jack and Jill and Personal Job Coach both start from the same frustration: sending hundreds of applications into a pile nobody reads. Neither one sends applications for you, and they differ in where they start: Jack and Jill finds the job and makes the introduction, while we start from the job you've chosen and help you apply to it properly.

What Jack and Jill Does

Jack and Jill is built as two agents. Jack works for candidates: you talk to him for about ten minutes and share your LinkedIn profile or CV, and he searches millions of jobs for the ones that fit what you want next, not only the ones that match your keywords. Jill works for companies. When the two agree there is a mutual fit, Jack introduces you directly to the hiring manager, which means you skip the application stage altogether.

Around that, Jack offers mock interviews, salary benchmarking, negotiation practice and a career clarity conversation. Its SuperApply feature gives feedback on your CV and application before you submit, and its page says Jack never sends anything for you. Its FAQ says your details are not shared with companies without your permission, and that you can delete your data at any time.

Is Jack and Jill Free?

For candidates, yes. Its pricing page says there is no subscription, no retainer and no upfront fee, and that Jack is free to use. The money comes from the other side: companies pay 10% of first-year salary, only when Jill makes a hire. That's a different business model from ours: Jack is built to get you introduced to a company that has agreed to talk to you, and he decides which roles are worth showing you.

Applications, Interviews and Salary

If you're applying to a job you found yourself, our toolkit is built for that moment. Add the job and you get a Gap Analysis against your CV, a CV tailored to the posting, a cover letter, a Company Briefing and a Mock Interview that uses the briefing, all tied to that one application. Job Radar captures jobs from job boards with the Chrome extension, or from emails you forward, and the Job Tracker keeps them in one place.

Jack's strength is the other side of the search: roles you would not have found, an introduction instead of an application, and help with the offer. Its pages cover salary benchmarking and negotiation practice, which we don't offer. The pages we checked don't list a CV rewritten for each job or a cover letter generator, so check that before you count on it.

Price and How Each Is Paid

Jack and Jill costs you nothing, and there is nothing to cancel. Ours starts free too: Career Strategy (a coaching conversation that produces your base CV, your pitch and your recommended roles), the CV Score and the full toolkit for your first application are free to use with no card. The cover letter downloads free, and the tailored CV file is a €4.99 one-off, or included in the subscription. From your second job it is €19.99 a month with no cap on how many applications you make in the month, and you can cancel any time.

Which One to Use

If you want jobs and introductions brought to you, and you're happy for an agent to decide which roles to show you, Jack and Jill is free and worth trying. If you already know which jobs you are going for, or you keep finding roles through boards and contacts and want a tailored CV, a cover letter, company research and interview practice for each one, that is what we are for. They cover different steps, so using both is reasonable.
