About this role
Clera is a fast-growing AI start-up rethinking how top talent finds their next dream job. We work with leading VC-backed startups like Mintlify, Luminai, and Windsurf—many in AI.
We believe recruiting should be talent-first: making it easy to connect with the right companies, get coached through the process, and actually get hired. By automating and optimizing workflows within the $600B global headhunting industry, we aim to dramatically enhance outcomes for both candidates and companies. This is a massive opportunity.

We’re looking for ambitious, driven overachievers ready to take ownership, drive initiatives, and shape the future of talent acquisition.
