Talent AI Operator
Clera
About this role
Talent Operator
Competitive salary + performance-based compensation
Clera is building autonomous AI agents that recruit. Not chatbots. Not copilots. Agents that find candidates, write personalized outreach, handle conversations, qualify fit, and schedule interviews. End to end.
We raised a pre-seed from top investors and have been growing to marketplace scale (40K+ talents, hundreds of top startup customers). The AI works. Now we need operators to scale it and shape the agent as we grow.
You're not a recruiter. You're the human who makes autonomous recruiting actually work.
Our AI agents handle the volume: thousands of candidates sourced, messaged, and qualified every week. Your job is to supervise the agents, catch edge cases, step in for high-judgment moments, and close candidates that need a human touch. Think air traffic controller, not pilot.
This is a new type of role. You'll define what "AI-native recruiting operations" looks like as we scale.
Competitive base + uncapped performance-based compensation tied to placements. Top performers earn significantly more.
Equity (Performance-Based)
Equity is earned through results. After a successful 90-day performance window, top performers receive equity grants with potential for meaningful ownership as scope expands.
Benefits: Health insurance, visa sponsorship, optional: working from our hackerhouse in San Francisco.
This role is a proving ground. Strong performers can move into:
Growth paths aren't promised. They're unlocked through consistent execution and demonstrated judgment.
Prior recruiting experience is a plus but not required. We care more about judgment, adaptability, and comfort with AI.
Fast and straightforward. We don't waste your time.
