Recruiter – Early-Stage Startups (Remote – US)
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: US Remote • Schedule: Flexible, 40–50 hours/week aligned with PST If you love fast-moving environments, owning complex recruiting workflows, and being measured by real hiring outcomes, we'd like to talk.
