SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 20, 2026--
Juicebox, the leading AI recruiting platform, today announced Juicebox Agents, a new suite of AI agents that continuously source and engage top candidates. Each agent runs 24/7 across every open role so recruiters can spend less time searching and more time hiring.

Most recruiting teams are buried in inbound. Since ChatGPT's launch in 2022, the average candidate now sends 239% more job applications, and recruiters spend up to half their workweek just filtering through them. This surge has also accelerated fraud, with Gartner projecting that by 2028, up to one in four candidate applications could be fake.
Instead of sifting through mountains of low-intent applications, Juicebox Agents work alongside recruiters like world-class outbound sourcing partners. They ask questions, map the market, push back on assumptions, and learn from every piece of feedback. Customers can run dozens of agents at once that run continuously across all open roles. Some early customers have seen up to a 5x increase in recruiter efficiency and 50 percent reduction in sourcing time.
“We believe the future of recruiting will rely on agents,” said David Paffenholz, Co-founder and CEO of Juicebox. “Every company has a sense of what a great hire looks like. Getting a tool to learn that, hold to it, and act on it across every open role is what we've been working toward. This is what it looks like when recruiting systems can finally operate with context, judgment, and consistency at scale.”
Unlike most sourcing tools, Juicebox Agents don't pull from resumes or job boards. They search across unstructured sources, like GitHub, Google Scholar, Stack Overflow, Medium, and community forums to find candidates based on what they've actually built and shipped. Each Juicebox agent can:

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jalen Hurts has a blood clot in his calf and has to miss at least one game — the type of news that might have left the Eagles reeling in a normal season.
He's somehow only the latest star to miss time — Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith had topped that list — and Philadelphia will have to adjust to another setback during a season on the brink of a meltdown.
Hurts delivered the breaking news of his diagnosis to second-stringer Tanner McKee on his way to the Eagles’ walk-through on Thursday.
“He just kind of turned to me and said, ‘Looks like you’re going to be the guy this week,’” McKee said.
Hey, sometimes backup QBs work out great for the Eagles. Just ask Nick Foles.
Hurts was ruled out for Sunday's game against Carolina because of a superficial blood clot in his calf. The Eagles said in a statement Thursday that Hurts was injured when he took a cleat to his calf area on Oct. 4 against the Los Angeles Rams.
A day earlier, Hurts spoke in vague terms about the injury.
“It was a very unique experience, to say the least,” Hurts said. “I don’t want to get into the details of kind of leading up to the game and whatnot. But got nicked up in the Rams game.”
Hurts practiced last week and informed the medical staff of the injury after practice on Oct. 8. The former Super Bowl MVP was back at practice the next day before the team left for London to play Jacksonville.
“Out of an abundance of caution, an ultrasound was performed on Saturday following the team’s flight to London and walk-through,” the Eagles said in a statement. “The ultrasound revealed a superficial blood clot. Our medical staff and doctors in London reviewed the results and concluded that activity and mobility were important and that Jalen could safely play. Doctors recommended a follow-up ultrasound within 72 hours of the game and the return flight to Philadelphia.”
Hurts completed 21 of 40 passes for 220 yards and one touchdown in a 19-17 loss to the Jaguars, the Eagles' third straight defeat after a 2-0 start.
Hurts did not emerge from the tunnel in London until just before the coin toss.
“I was trying to rest,” he said, laughing.
Hurts received treatment Monday and Tuesday this week when he returned to Philadelphia and was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Hurts underwent another ultrasound on Wednesday that revealed a “movement in the small blood clot.”
The kind of blood clot Hurts has often forms in a vein close to the surface of the skin but can be painful and requires treatment.
The Eagles said in a statement they would determine the appropriate course of treatment. There was no timetable on when Hurts could return.
The Eagles will turn to the 26-year-old McKee against the Panthers.
McKee had been the primary backup each of the past two seasons but lost that job in training camp to veteran Andy Dalton. Dalton was released last Friday after he threw an interception in the end zone on his lone pass attempt of the season in a Week 3 loss at Chicago.
Hurts absorbed a late hit and was pulled off the field to be checked for a concussion in that game.
McKee has two career starts, both in Week 18 the past two years. The Eagles had already clinched their playoff seeds and rested Hurts. McKee, a sixth-round pick in the 2023 draft, has completed 54 of 88 passes for five touchdowns and one interception.
“Every opportunity that you get to play is a huge opportunity, especially being a sixth-round pick,” McKee said.
McKee has familiarity with the Eagles after four seasons, even though he's learning a new offense under first-year coordinator Sean Mannion.
Hurts has eight touchdown passes and three interceptions with 933 yards passing this season. He's led the Eagles to two Super Bowl appearances and earned MVP honors after they beat the Kansas City Chiefs to win the championship in the 2024 season.
Hurts is in the midst of a five-year, $255 million extension, including $179.3 million guaranteed, that takes him through the 2028 season.
The Eagles stunned fans when they drafted Hurts out of Oklahoma in the second round in 2020. They seemingly had Carson Wentz entrenched at QB and had more pressing needs. But Hurts supplanted Wentz and became one of the top young quarterbacks in the NFL.
Jordan Mailata had called last week a “week from hell” after the sudden retirement of fellow offensive lineman Lane Johnson and the trade of another O-line starter, Cam Jurgens, to the Ravens.
“I might have jumped the gun on that one,” Mailata said with a laugh.
The Eagles hope Barkley (hamstring) and Smith (hamstring) can play Sunday.
Edge rusher Jonathan Greenard, linebacker Jalyx Hunt, defensive back Michael Carter, running back Will Shipley and cornerback Quinyon Mitchell were all hurt against the Jaguars. Philadelphia had previously ruled out center Drew Kendall, safety Marcus Epps and wide receiver WR Marquise Brown. Wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) missed practice Thursday.
“As much adversity as we've handled,” Mailata said, “it also has created so much opportunity for our young guys. That's what I keep focusing on.”
As crucial as those absences have been, playing without Hurts could sting the most.
The Eagles have no choice but to press on with McKee.
“We’ve been getting reps with him all year,” wide receiver Darius Cooper said. “It’s really not a drop-off.”
