Choosing an AI assistant for hiring
Personal AI agents are getting good at planning, writing and running errands, but none of them can hire on their own. They need somewhere to find people. Clera gives every one of them the same thing: 245,000+ vetted candidates who are open to new roles, plus intro requests that a real person says yes to. Here's how to pick the right assistant for your hiring.
Which AI assistant is best for hiring?
It depends on where you already work. If you live in your texts, Instinct or Pally keep hiring in the thread you already check, and Pally can put candidates in your morning brief. If you want sheets, scorecards and repeatable skills, Muse builds them for you. For writing job specs and comparing candidates side by side, Claude is the strongest. If your team already runs on ChatGPT projects, keep hiring there. And if you want a search that keeps running for days and checks candidates' public work, use Grok Bot.
Can an AI assistant find candidates on its own?
Not without a source of people. On its own an assistant can only search the open web. Connected to Clera, it searches 245,000+ candidates who've said they're open to a move, and each result comes with a reason it fits your role.
Can I use more than one assistant with Clera?
Yes. Connect as many as you like with the same Clera account. A shortlist you build in Claude shows up when you ask Pally what's new, because they all read the same pipeline.
Do AI assistants contact candidates directly?
No. An assistant can request an intro through Clera, and with our setup messages it waits for your yes first. Clera then asks the candidate whether they want to talk. Nobody gets a cold message from your account.
What is an MCP server, and why does it matter for hiring?
MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is the open standard AI assistants use to call outside tools. Clera runs an MCP server, which is why one connection works in every assistant on this page and in tools like Cursor, Codex and Grok chat.
What does hiring with an AI assistant cost?
Connecting an assistant to Clera, searching and shortlisting are free. You pay Clera only when you hire someone it introduced you to: 15% of that person's first-year base salary.
