Traditional hiring tools have failed both candidates and companies. Great talent is getting filtered out by keyword gaps and bias-prone processes while companies face costly mis-hires and hiring remorse. This isn’t just inefficient; it’s actively harmful.

What is CLARA?
CLARA helps hiring teams align on what the organization needs and then agree on who they’re looking for before the job posts. Context, needs, and the work to be done become candidate personas, a job posting, interview guides, and a sourcing plan. When applications arrive, CLARA scores each one against the criteria your team agreed on, and provides evidence for every match. Then we give you the information to review; people make every hiring decision.
We’re building the future of hiring, where every candidate gets a fair chance based on skills and capabilities, and every company builds a workforce ready for what’s next.
CLARA is an AI-powered hiring platform that uses artificial intelligence to screen resumes, assess candidates, and accelerate hiring decisions while improving candidate quality.
CLARA combines speed and fairness—delivering better candidates faster through bias-reducing algorithms, skills-based assessments, and automated candidate scoring that saves recruiters hours of manual review.

How we operate

How we operate
Whether as a contractor, full-time, part-time, or something else altogether, the folks we work with are a passionate and curious bunch.
We enjoy collaborating, revel in being exceptional at what we do, are obsessed with our goal to serve our members by being world-class business partners, and really like to have fun.
We are spread across the globe and have a beautiful range of experiences and perspectives. This makes for a creative and innovative environment that makes us better than the sum of our parts.
This concept is articulated beautifully by Frans Johansson in his book, The Medici Effect: What Elephants and Epidemics Can Teach Us About Innovation.
We also lean in on trust. While trust can be difficult to articulate, we rely on the incredible Trust Triangle framework of Frances Frei and Anne Morriss. The points are logic, empathy, and authenticity. It’s an incredibly simple and effective model.
