Clera

Clera competes in AI-assisted recruiting with funded players such as Mercor, SeekOut, and Juicebox, and founders name copycats such as Dex. They argue agent-maintained introduction relationships are harder to copy than application-based matching.

Demand concentrates in US seed to Series B technology hiring, where salaries of 150,000 to 200,000 dollars support placement fees. Clera reports millions in revenue, 600+ client companies, and placements at Langdock, Zauber, and Superchat.

Clera acts as an introduction company rather than a job board, routing candidates straight to deciding hiring managers at 600+ venture-backed startups. It reports eight days from introduction to first interview and shortlists within one to two days.

Founders cite a 15 percent success fee versus 20 to 30 percent at human agencies, plus growth without paid ads. The launch won Product of the Day on Product Hunt; customers include Superchat, Casca, Dub, Traba, and Langdock.

Clera charges companies a 15 percent success fee when an introduced candidate is hired, which founders contrast with the 20 to 30 percent commission of traditional headhunters. Candidates pay nothing.

Free account-optional tools include a salary calculator, an AI resume review, a career rating score, a startup map, and a salary benchmark; a referral pays 100 dollars per completed interview. Employer plans sit on a pricing page.
