If usage of custom TypeScript transformer is possible, ts-transformer-dates could be used:

import { toDates } from 'ts-transformer-dates';

const value = {
  "data": [
    {
      "comment": "3541",
      "datetime": "2016-01-01"
    }
  ]
};

export class Job {
    constructor(comment:string, datetime:Date) {
        this.comment = comment;
        this.datetime = datetime;
    }

    comment:string;
    datetime:Date;
}

console.log(toDates<{data:Job[]}>(value));

Output:

{ data: [ { comment: '3541', datetime: 2016-01-01T00:00:00.000Z } ] }
