Question 1

What is Clera?

Accepted Answer

Clera finds you a job. It starts with one conversation about what you actually want next. Clera watches 2,000+ open roles at 900+ startups and says something only when one of them fits, then introduces you straight to the person doing the hiring. No applications, no job boards, nothing disappearing into a black hole.

Question 2

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Start a conversation. It takes about two minutes, on WhatsApp, iMessage, or email. Clera asks what you’ve done, what you want next, and what you’re done with. No resume to upload, no forms, no profile to build.

Question 3

Is Clera free?

Accepted Answer

Free, and it stays free. Companies pay Clera 15% of first-year base when they hire someone, so the cost never lands on you. Refer someone and you get $100 when they land their first interview.

Question 4

Who is Clera for?

Accepted Answer

People who want to work at a startup and care which one. You don’t have to be job hunting right now. Most people here aren’t. Clera keeps watching and only interrupts you when something is worth it.

Question 5

How do companies use Clera?

Accepted Answer

You tell Clera the role and what a strong hire looks like. Out of the 200,000+ people Clera has already talked to, you get the ones who fit, each with the reason attached. First matches usually land within 24 hours.

Question 6

What does Clera cost a company?

Accepted Answer

15% of first-year base, and only when you hire someone. No upfront cost, no subscription, no posting fees. No hire, no invoice.

Question 7

How does a company get started?

Accepted Answer

Set up your company. A few minutes on who you are, what you’re building, and the first role you need filled.

Question 8

How does Clera decide what to send me?

Accepted Answer

From the conversation, not from keyword matching. Clera knows if you want a twelve-person team and not a twelve-hundred-person one, and that you’re done managing people, or that you finally want to. Every new role gets read against that. When one fits and the company wants to meet you, Clera makes the intro.

Question 9

How long until something comes up?

Accepted Answer

Depends what you’re after. Open on location and after a common role, it can be days. After something specific, it can be weeks, and Clera says so rather than send you filler to look busy. Nothing lands in your inbox until something actually fits.

Question 10

What happens after I say yes?

Accepted Answer

Clera introduces you to the hiring manager or the founder directly, with a note on why you two should talk. It’s an intro, not an application, so nobody’s deciding whether to open your file. Before you go in, you get everything Clera knows about the company, the team, and how the interview usually goes.

Question 11

What if I don’t want the role?

Accepted Answer

Say no. Tell Clera why and the next one is sharper. Passing costs you nothing, and the same role won’t come back twice.

Question 12

How is this different from a job board or a recruiter?

Accepted Answer

A job board makes you do the searching, and then 400 other people apply to the same post. A recruiter gets paid to fill a seat, and any seat will do. Clera sits on your side of the table: nothing moves until you say yes to the specific intro, and Clera’s name is on every one.

Question 13

Which companies are on here?

Accepted Answer

900+ startups, from four people in a room to companies well past Series C. The list is public, so you can look before you talk to anyone.

Question 14

What kind of roles?

Accepted Answer

2,000+ open right now, and you can read every one of them without signing up. If your field is thin on the ground, Clera tells you that up front instead of stringing you along.

Question 15

What happens to my data?

Accepted Answer

Your profile goes to a company only after you’ve said yes to that specific intro. Clera doesn’t sell your data and doesn’t hand it to anyone else. The long version is in the privacy policy.

Question 16

Can my current employer see I’m on Clera?

Accepted Answer

No. Nobody sees your profile until you’ve agreed to an intro, and then only the company you agreed to meet. Your boss isn’t going to stumble across you here.

Question 17

Can I delete my account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Email us and we wipe your data. You won’t hear from us again unless you come back.
