About this role About Clera

Clera is an AI-powered recruiting platform reinventing how top talent connects with U.S. companies. We automate sourcing, matching, and evaluation so hiring teams move faster and candidates get a sharper, more human experience.

As a Senior Recruiter, you’ll be at the center of this, partnering closely with our founding and engineering team to shape how AI is used in modern recruiting.

Your Mission

Own high-impact, end-to-end searches for U.S.-based roles using Clera’s AI platform. You’ll be the strategic recruiting partner for our clients: running full cycles, advising hiring managers, and using data and judgment to drive great hires.

This is a high-ownership role in a fast-moving startup for someone who’s comfortable operating independently, pushing back when needed, and making strong calls on talent.

What You’ll Do

Run full-cycle recruiting for U.S.-based roles using Clera’s AI-powered platform.

Review AI-generated matches and quickly identify the strongest, most relevant talent.

Interview and qualify candidates, then present tight, high-signal shortlists to hiring managers.

Join client calls, clarify role requirements, and provide honest, strategic hiring guidance.

Act as a true partner to clients, including challenging unclear or unrealistic expectations.

Own candidate pipelines end-to-end, ensuring fast, clean movement through every stage.

Give structured feedback to the engineering team to improve matching logic and workflows.

Keep candidate notes and process documentation accurate, up to date, and reliable.

Prioritize across multiple searches and drive them to successful hires with minimal oversight.

What You Bring

3+ years recruiting for U.S. clients or U.S.-based roles.

Proven experience in fast-paced environments (startup or high-velocity agency).

Strong client-facing presence: clear communication, expectation management, and relationship-building.

Excellent English, written and spoken.

Ability to work aligned with Pacific Time (PST), including occasional evening or weekend calls.

High comfort with tools, ATS, and AI-driven workflows.

Sharp judgment on skills, experience, and culture add—not just keyword matching.

High ownership, reliability, and the ability to move fast without hand-holding.

Nice to Have

Experience recruiting across multiple functions (engineering, sales, operations, G&A).

Background in both agency and in-house recruiting.

Hands-on experience improving recruiting tools, processes, or product.

Success managing multiple searches and high-volume pipelines in parallel.

Role Details

Location:

LATAM or US (Remote)

Schedule:

Flexible, 40–50 hours/week aligned with PST

About Clera Clera is the agentic recruiting marketplace that activates the 75% of candidates who never apply. We're a fast-growing AI startup rethinking how top talent and companies find each other—solving the market's core problem of irrelevant matches through a talent-first approach. Rather than waiting for applications, our AI agents proactively connect passive candidates with leading companies and coach them through the journey to actually get hired. We raised a large pre‑seed round to tackle this challenge at scale.
