Jobgap AI

JobgabAI emerged from a compelling personal experience when I relocated to UK and I struggled to get another Job despite my years of experience working as a founding product designer in 2 venture-backed companies in Nigeria. I then met an HR consultant who looked through my docs and identified what I was doing wrong. Implementing his feedback landed me a role as founding product designer at Payso ($2M pre-seed) in the UK. Armed with this experience and my understanding of making something people want, I started JobgapAI to help tech talents amplify their strengths in the context of the job they’re applying for. It began with basic operations like resume, cover letter and job aggregation services in a single plugin and now it has evolved into an automated AI-powered suite of tools including mock interviews to help Job seekers land their next jobs all within a unified platform (with future plans to integrate with e-learning providers for users to upskill and pivot careers).
