About Jonathan Mirecki | Jonathan Mirecki | LinkedIn
From a young age, Jonathan has been fascinated by business. He read his first business book at the age of 11, started a lawn care business at age 12, and began working as an accountant for his brother's company as a teen. While in university, he ran his own consulting firm, and then rejoined his brother's company as head of sales and business development. During that time, he built teams across the company, forged partnerships with brands like Ford of Canada, and acted as product manager for two successful products. He fell in love with the process of forming teams, building products, and growing a company. He also learned, after having hired dozens of people, that the recruitment process can be frustrating. A huge amount of time is wasted sorting through resumes and screening candidates, rather than conducting in-depth interviews with the best candidates. Jonathan knew that this would only get worse, given the advent of ChatGPT and the vast number of candidates who would now be using it to write their resumes and cover letters. It then hit him: resumes, job postings, and screening need to be replaced by a more efficient process. A process that cuts through the clutter. That's when he decided to launch Searchless, a recruitment platform that matches job seekers with employers, through conversational AI. His brother Eli, a software engineer who worked at Dropbox and Amazon, is joining him on the mission to automate candidate sourcing and screening, and the job search as a whole.
